FEAROF.NET takes you one step closer to a better life
First, let me just quickly tell you about my own personal experience with panic attacks and anxiety. I would never have though it was something that could happen to me, but it did, and it was the worst time of my life.
It was actually something as harmless as hiatus hernia that triggered my fear of death. Suddenly I felt pain in the chest, had trouble breathing and my heart started pounding faster and faster. I panicked, which only made it worse. It felt like I was suffocating and I was sure my time had come. My girlfriend called an ambulance and I was taken to the hospital, but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me so I was sent home again.
After 3 months of several visits to the hospital and the doctor, they finally found the cause of the problem. This was too late though, as I had already developed a serious anxiety disorder that greatly affected my life. I didn’t feel safe anywhere and couldn’t be alone without worrying about having another panic attack.
I got over my anxiety and so can you
I had to do something, so I started researching and I must have read every single book on the subject. It took a while but I finally figured out how to turn things around. All by myself, without the help of a psychologist or medication of any kind, I overcame my biggest fear. I’m not saying you will, but I believe I can point you in the right direction.
That’s why I created this site. I want to help others understand and ultimately get rid of their fear.
This idea has made FEAROF.NET grow into one of the most popular sites about fears and phobias. Because of the practical advice and simple instructions I provide on this site, thousands of people have learned how to deal with their anxiety and greatly improved their lives. I hope it will be as helpful to you too.
I would really appreciate a link back to my website if you cite my work. Feedback is also welcome. Thanks!
I love this site!! i am doing a power point project for my class and was wondering if you could give me the month and date and year for citing

Dear Mr.Olesen
I have a few questions for you if you can give me some feedback on my project I a m working on for my psychology class. I am working on a topic called why do people choose furry animals over reptiles and i have read your article on fear of reptiles and it was very useful to me in information wise. I would like to know if my experiment sounds good to you, I am planning on taking four people down to an animal care unit in my school and having them touch or feel them and see if they prefer. I also was thinking about this, what if more people are scared of reptiles because of stories or things they might of experienced? i have read articles saying some people have PTSD in the category of reptiles so far as snakes mainly. if you could give me some feedback as soon as you can i would very much be thankful it. thank you for your time and such a wonderful helpful article.

Hi Jacob,
I work for a television company and would love your help getting in touch with someone who has a phobia of either rain or wind. We are not going to embarrass them at all, we want to present what happens to someone who has a fear of one of these two items and find out what it feels like for them, if it affects their lives, how they deal with it etc.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

The best way to get in contact with people who have this phobia is by commenting on the fear of rain post, asking if anyone is interested in sharing their story on your TV show.
