From my experience, phobias tend to grow if you don't keep them in check. I was disgusted by birds at first, and then that disgust turned to fear. And that fear turned to paranoia. I know that I'm pretty bad with my phobia, but it could be worse. The only way I keep it in check is to constantly remind myself that the chances of a bird actually attacking me are pretty slim.

Plus, having a loving and protective boyfriend helps a ton.
