First off, I don't have health insurance. I need help figuring out how to overcome this. It controls my life. I have severe anxiety attacks when I come in any kind of contact with spiders, real or fake! (which sucks because I LOVE Halloween and my husband has to lead the way in a costume store as I keep my eyes to the floor!)
I've tried a couple different medications but no luck. I was wondering if anybody out there can lead me in some sort of direction.
 
i know you probably dont want to hear this but i would post on the OCD board and see what help you can get there. i too have phobias and just live with them (bees, vomiting ect ect). spiders dont bug me althought i wouldnt want one on me lol but the ocd board may give you suggestions...sometimes you just have to think that you can avoid spiders by either walking away when you see one as it isnt likely to run after you (unlike a bee) or you can squish it...its easy for me to say but try and see what you find out. good luck!
 
Thank you for the suggestion! I did think about asking under the OCD board, my arachnophobia has gotten to the level of obsession. (that is, the obsession of keeping clear of spiders) I hope I get some answers there. My doctor doesn't take me seriously!
