My arachnophobia has only gotten worse over the years, and I don't know how to fix it. I've never killed a spider before because I tend to scream and run away or call someone else to do it for me. I don't like it when people take them outside because I'm afraid they'll come back in. I've woken up my family countless times at night because I saw a spider in my room. I shake, sweat, and feel nauseous when I get too close to one. Once, I saw a spider in my room and refused to enter for a week because I was afraid it was still there. Since then, I check my room at least 20 times every night before sleeping. The fear is so intense that I'm afraid of living alone. This phobia is controlling my life, and I don't know what to do.
