Spiders

I have arachnophobia, I'm sure of it I was locking up getting ready for bed and out of the corner of my eye I saw a Huntsman spider on the hallway roof They are harmless but they are sooo big and hairy, just spent the last half hour trying to get it out of the house, I am still shaking and now I can't sleep, I keep thinking I can see another one, I know it is all in my head, but my brain dosen't believe me

scary

I'm soooooo with you there Kylie, I hate them too, and keep seeing them when they are not really there. Do you have a small bedside light you could put on, this always helps me get to sleep when unable to.

eeee noooo >< I'm terrified of the things and have sat up all night because of one on the bedroom ceiling Can't kill them though, I have to try and get them out of the house. So glad we don't have any of the ones here that you have, I don't think I could cope with them

I'm so tired my eyes are burning, but I can't stop this stupid irrational fear, they are scary looking, and it ws as big as the palm of my hand

bloody hell > do you have any beer in the house?

I will definately be sleeping with the lamp on if at all They aren't dangerous or deadly or anything just big, but I reaally think it is a phobia, I literally feel sick and shaky..

Wimps!

If they cant hurt you no need to be scared

I know it's irrational, just the emotional side of my brain beats down the rational side

Awww they are adorable

I hate spiders too !
If my hubby isn't in then I usually resort to sucking them up with the Hoover lol

I hate them as well,but i have to deal with them because my hubby is more scared of them then i am. But the one thing that makes me physically sick is crane flys(aka daddy long legs) i cant look at them or stand to be near one at any time. He has to deal with them

Last thing you want is a drunk spider, Steve.

I really like spiders..but only from a distance. Not sure I would like them in Australia though I do admire them as a creature, very impressive!

Not alone. I'm a wuss when it comes to spiders and our spiders are what you in Oz class as ants. If I seen one of them spiders you have over there I think I would have bullet holes all over the house.
