phobias are NOTTTTTTT fake, they CAN disable you, they CAN cause you to miss things that you wish you wouldnt miss. i have emetophobia and ill tell you right now, its NOT EASY at all. imagine one thought being stuck in your head CONSTANTLY. you cant get away from it. every desicion you make depends on that one thought. i agree with you, get a clue.

Phobias do not pick and choose who their going to torment. I don't know where you got your PhD but it couldn't have been anywhere that taught you compassion.  I have been in the medical field for many years and these comments you have made are not in any medical book in the world that I've studied.  Althought in my profession, I have unfortunately met people like yourself who were  only in it for the title and the money. Because I suffer from agaraphobia myself, I sympathize with anyone going through any phobia. I was told something many years ago and it rings true for everyone. Be very careful because what goes around comes around and you just haven' t got it back yet.  Your in the wrong professsion and God help anyone you treat if indeed you are a medical professional.
