That's me; I can't even look at a picture or see one on tv. My DH and daughter have to tell me when it's safe to watch again--I literally close my eyes and refuse to look. I can't touch a magazine or paper with a pic of a snake (geez, I hate even typing that word). I don't know why I have this phobia, as I've never been bothered by one.I always thought I was scared of snakes, recently I have discovered that it is beyond that, its a full blown phobia
I hate crossing bridges, and unless I'm driving, will tense up and hold my breath until I'm across.
I'm not scared of dying as much as I am the way I'm going to die--I'm terrified of suffocating or drowning or choking.
