BUGSSS

I just saw a cockroach in my blankets right after using the bathroom while I was about to go to sleep. I have a HUGEE fear of cockroaches. i don't even know why. I just do

my mom and brother spent 10 minutes in my room trying to kill it and ended up making a mess (but they did succeed in killing it, thank goodness) and I was crying downstairs cuz it genuinely scared me so bad...

anyways, I start crying harder as I go back to my room and proceed to stand in the middle, scared to touch anything while crying 😭 was so genuinely convinced that I wouldn't be able to sleep, but dw, all is good now. I realized that I coiuldn't pass on such a horrible fear to my stuffed animals so I had to put on a brave face in front of them to show them that nothing is wrong.

does anyone know how to get rid of fears??

this advice may be moot but… try desensitising yourself to cockroaches! maybe you can browse pictures of cockroaches, or just read a little on their ecology or whatever, and hopefully get more used to and tolerate them better :^

Maybe I'll try to! I definitely tried doing this when I saw the roach. I searched up about them to try and convince myself that it was just my fear and they wouldn't hurt me.

then I found out they bite and I was horrified
