Journal Entry for February 24, 2007
I need help in figuering out if there is a cure for the phobia I have. It disrupts my family. How do I post a message or talk to someone here?

Hey, I used to be scared of thunder storms too. i got over it when my brother forced me outside in one and told me that when it thunders that angles and bolwing and when it lightnings they are taking pictures of the flowers in the rain. try cognitive behavral therapy, it works.
Hey, I see you are from Texas. I know you have probably seen much more bad weather than I have. I live in the midwest. My fear stems from childhood when my mother would react so negatively to storms,pace the floor and hide us under the furniture. Now the storms don't bother her, but I have developed a phobia. Sometimes I do okay, usually when I am employed and preoccupied with something else. I do worse when I am at home and have too much time on my hands to think. I hope this job interview goes okay so I can work again. I always feel better when I work. I think the more we think about the storms the worse we feel.
I truly understand your phobia. It is good to find a place where there is support from friends. mia0621
