Anyone know how to get rid of Trypanophobia? I’ve suffered with it after experiencing a distressing event in my life and no matter what can’t get rid of it. It’s even came to Doctors suggesting hypnotherapy to help since I now fear having to have injections at appointments but I don’t want to have to explain that to people because I’m sensitive to what happened and people just think I have a little fear of Injections. But it’s not that. I struggle even talking about them and can start feeling a panic attack coming (even typing this is hard) so High School can be an issue for Bio in mandatory Science. I have tried to shake this fear but every time I can’t.
Any doctors on this site know a way, would be much appreciated

If you haven’t tried seeing a therapist it will be a start and maybe try looking things up to help
Hi,
Therapists are a waste of time and money and don’t achieve anything.
Go and see your doctor and have him put you on anti depressant tablets and you will start to feel much better after about 3 weeks when the tablets kick in.
You will feel like your mind is wrapped in clouds of cotton wool, you will feel secure, safe and your emotions will be held in check, so you should get over most of your symptoms (although I’m not familiar with Trypanophobia) and you will be much more stable and healthy and happy, as a direct result.
I’ve got Psoriasis on my hands and feet from my “distressing event” not nice at all, but I’m getting there with it and I’ve been on anti depressants as a direct result of my distressing event, for years and I won’t ever come off them, because I love the feeling of security they give me.
If you do decide to come off anti depressants, you simply can’t go Cold Turkey.
Reduce 1/4 of each tablet each week, until you are no longer on your Anti Depressive medication is the only way.
If you feel weird, go back on full strength again for a few weeks, before you try again.
Best Wishes……..
