Hello my name is caitlin and i am 15
Um i dont exsactly know what to say here but yeah.
I have a extreme phobia of catterpillas, when i see them it it makes me shake uncontrolibly and they trigger off my anxiety.
I also have depression, which i've had since i was 9 years of age and i have anxiety and parnoia.
It gets so bad i'll be walking in the shops just to go food shopping and i'll run out and beg my mum to take me home because i think everyone is talking about me.
So yeah i hope this website can help a bit with my problems, cause it sounds like a good oppertunity.

Hi Caitlin and a warm welcome to Ofear

Its great you have joined us and you are now among people who know what your going through. Please post any questions you have and im sure somebody will be able to help and give you some good advice.

In the General phobia folder there is the oppurtunity to ask the psychologist a question and we also have a hypnotherapist online who is willing to answer questions too if your thinking of having any hypnotherapy treatment. Take your time to look around the forum as there is plenty of information for you to read.

Once again thanks for joining and enjoy your time here.

Take care

Hi Caitlin and welcome to the forums!
It sounds like you have many of the same problems as myself. I have paranoia, situational depression, OCD and anxiety. I also can't stand being in shops or the public in general because I feel as if everyone is talking about or judging me negatively.
This forums truely does help. Being able to talk about your problems without being judged is a big help. The forum members are very understanding and wish to help as much as they can.
I look forward to reading/responding to your future posts.

Hello Caitlin,
A big warm welcome from me. I hope we can be of some support to you here and no doubt, you'll make some friends as a few are your age

Hi Caitlin and welcome!

I hate caterpillars as well. My fear used to be bigger before cause at the previous summer house we had a huge garden with big old trees and they were usually full of them. One day one caterpillar fell on my head and I was screaming like a baby!!

I didn't know it was possible to be depressed at 9!!! That's pretty unbelievable to get something like that so early. Soon we'll be hearing about depressed newborns and anxious fetuses LOL!

Anyway, I was just joking, hope you enjoy the forum and it will help you with your fears and phobias!!

Ellen.
