About Psycotheis



Life is full of hardships and though being as young as I am, I've dealt with a lot over my time. I'll admit, I've never had a death of a loved one, getting stung by a bee, had cancer, or died and revived so I can live to tell about it, I still have some know hows on how to deal with it all. I know things here and there that have nothing to do with anything but it helps in times of need. Its all a matter of paying attention and figuring out what could have, would have, or should have been done.

I can give great advice sometimes, buts a matter of fact that you can't just read it and go,"That's a great idea, I might do that..." Take into account that advice is only as good as the person who uses it, not the person who gives it...
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
George Eliot
English novelist (1819 - 1880)


Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.
Horace Mann
US educator (1796 - 1859)

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:2

We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Luciano de Crescenzo

A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.
Albert Schweitzer
French philosopher & physician (1875 - 1965)

God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.
T. L. Cuyler

I think theres something wrong with me.

I don't usually have intense fears of things, like everyone i have those little things like heights but i overcome it.

The problem is i have this really intense phobia-like fear of snakes.

Even the thought of them makes me cringe and i feel really sick, sometimes i even shake.

My boyfriend one time when i told him about how i feel about them he wasn't being mean but he started saying that he doesn't think they're that fast, he was more trying to tell me they arent something to worry about, but it was just awful. I said okay and shook off the thought and then he said that the black mambo is the fastest and i said i didnt want to know and he started telling me how fast it goes and i just freaked out and started crying, hyperventalating and couldnt go near him.

Is there something wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you, you just have the fear of snakes. Fear can come up in several ways: visually, by touch, smell, hearing, and even through your mind. You yourself are probably able to put this fear aside, but the description your boyfriend told you got into your head and your sub-conscious made it worse that it really was. You may not have noticed it, but your mind was the part of you that was making hyperventalate and cry. Doesn't mean somethings wrong with your mind, it just means you should avoid hearing about snakes or touching them. Visit a zoo or something every now and again and try to slowly overcome it by seeing one behind glass. But if a keeper has one out for people to touch, then you should leave. Again, work you way slowly and attempt to overcome it. Because the only way to get rid of fear is to face it, whether head on, or slowly.
