hello everyone my name is molly. I am extremely scared of spiders to the point I hallucinate about them running all over me in the night and wake up screaming, I have a habit of jumping out of bed and running downstairs until I fully wake up out of my nightmare, sometimes my partner even tells me in the morning I hurt myself while jumping out of bed. so the fear is bad hahaha.
to be honest I think spiders are absolutely amazing and I’ve been watching very long YouTube videos about them trying to expose myself to them, and doing a lot of online research. I am so ashamed of being scared of these beautiful creatures.
I have had a maybe great idea of buying myself a tarantula to get over this fear, for some reason tarantulas scare me less than a normal house spider would, there’s something about the way house spiders look that scare me so much. I’ve never even been near a large spider but I can look at videos and pictures of them with more ease than looking at house spiders.
what is a good beginner tarantula? I fell in love with the Mexican red knee’s and apparently their a good beginner spider, or so I’ve heard. Big black spiders scare me but its cool colours makes it less scary. whatever I’d get, I’d get it as a juvenile. Can anybody recommend anything? I probably would not be handling this spider often or at all, as I know tarantulas are not the type of pets you should be handling. I also considered a jumping spider but the thought of them jumping at me scares me.
or honestly do you recommend that I handle my arachnophobia in another way? I love animals so much, they are my whole life. So I hate being scared of some of them. I want to overcome this fear in any way I can, I’m fed up of it over taking my life. Please help me or give me advice, I also promise that if I did buy a spider theyd live in luxury. I have fish, snails, rabbits dogs and cats and I put their needs before mine always.
Thankyou to anyone who took the time to read this
