[treatment options]

♥mental health is very important, so here are some ways you can treat phobias...♥

• in some cases, avoiding the source of a phobia is relatively easy. by doing that, you can overcome your fear.

• you could try relaxation techniques. these include breathing exercises that help you relax during times of heightened stress or anxiety.

• you could also try visualization techniques. these are exercises that allow you to mentally visualize how they will successfully cope with a situation that could trigger anxiety. 

try this: close your eyes and imagine your fear is a black circle inside of you. now, you want to deeply calm down and breathe. and as your stress levels go down, the black ball slowly starts to shrink. and it shrinks and shrinks until it disappears. boom. nothing is there. your fear is gone. keep doing that exercise. you might realize that your fears aren't really real. they are just your imagination.

• maybe you could try meeting other people with the same phobia(s) you have and then you  could share coping strategies for dealing with anxiety.

• therapy is an option. and i know, not everyone can get the therapy they need. but if you can get therapy that actually helps you, then get it without hesitation. you need to get all of the help you can get.

• if none of the treatment options i've mentioned can help you, then i suggest you consult a doctor or a specialist. they may give you certain medications that can help you.
