How can i cure my phobias, i have a few, and i get so ashamed?

i'm so ashamed. the people at school are constantly trying to scare me with anything that terrifies me and i sometimes even faint. i have phobias of mice, cockroaches, needles/syringes, and blood. i'm just so ashamed that i'm so terrified of so many things! i'm not sure if they're exactly phobias but i need to get over them.

Answer:
lets get to the root of the thing here,
first, how are you defining a phobia? if by that you mean you are not rational, then that is a problem. If you mean that you don't like the things you name, that is just the way it is.

I deal with rodents, and insects, spiders and such all the time. It does not bother me to pick up a mouse living or dead, nor does it bother me to pick up insects, but I also know which ones can hurt me, and some can. Spiders can be pretty serious.

I wish you had defined what you mean by phobias.

but this is what you need to do to over come this. First you need to acknowledge that you fear can be rational, but your reaction if extreme is not.

seeing a mouse is not cause for alarm. seeing roaches is not cause for alarm. a needle is cause to avoid so you don't get a stick.

Just deal with these things the same way you deal with other things, as an event that is not worthy of any special notice, unless you are feeding the rodents

I hope this helps, I hate spiders and won't let them near me, but nothing else including wasp bother me. I can walk up to a nest of wasp and stand there why they fly about me and it does not bother me.

I have some fears, but they are sublime, I fear failing those I love
Hypnotherapy is probably one of the best ways to cure a phobia.
Your phobia has probably got a name, have a look at this list of phobias

you think your phobia is bad haha well try living with emetophobia and having panic attacks when ever you hear about , see , or smell vomit. I love roller coasters but I totally avoid them because of the fear someone on the ride will vomit. And people make funn of me for my fear when I go on amusment park rides with my friends they gag and try and scare me one time I even started crying uncontrollably. I cry when I get sick myself and I have a hard time breathing because I hypervenalate ((sp?)) which makes it worse.

With yours idk just try and face them and if you can't reserch ways to get over them . with emetophobia its asociated with OCD and can only be cured but theropy but idk if other phobias are the same way
