Entomophobia (Fear of bugs)

Trigger warning: (possible) anxiety attacks, bugs, weird sensory stuff

Alright, so I guess I have a fairly common phobia. Bugs.

Honestly, it's worse than what it really seems like. For me- I'm not really scared of the idea of killing a bug or getting near one, but as soon as one gets near me- I freak out. I get really close to having a full anxiety attack, and it's just generally not great.

I guess that's the main issue. I don't really mind the thought of bugs- but if one gets near me, I'm terrified. I know they're not dangerous, I just don't want one near me. It's more of a sensory thing. I hate the sensation of anything crawling on me (and sometimes it feels like something is crawling on me when I'm trying to fall asleep,) and buzzing bugs freak me out. I really just don't like the sound of flying bugs, I don't like the sensation of bugs- etc etc. Having one near me triggers those fears.

The part that really bothers me is that I'm not even in an area where there aren't many bugs. Bugs are everywhere where I live.

I think that's it- I don't really know how to end a post, I guess, does anyone know of any way to help with this phobia? I know it's quite common, but I don't know what to do about it.
