I have claurophobia, fear of clowns...My fear is so bad I screamed so loud an long I ran out of air and about blacked out...I have punched clowns in the face, I have ran people over trying to get away from clowns, I have ran away and cried over 5 year olds being in clown suits, I have smashed clown pictures trying to smack them away when people shove them in my face, I have ran out of school and got in huge trouble from a clown on a friends shirt, I have sprayed my boyfriend with a hose washing the clown make-up off his face, etc. Anyways Im tired of being afraid of them, I cant hang out with some of my friends because they have clowns at their houses. I went to go to a friends house for a tattoo and almost had a heart attack when her daughter came out in the living room with a clown mask on. Alot of people say they are terrified and have the phobia but not all actually have the phobia they are just scared of them...no I am deathly afraid of clowns. Now I am moving in with my boyfriend and his friend and they are clown freaks, I want ideas on how to get over this phobia if at all possible? By the way I love ZombieLand because the clown gets his face smashed in! Oh the reason Im terrified of these things is because when I was 5 my mother had bought me this clown toy where you turn the key and it would play music and rotate its head......yeah....it was on my dresser across from my bed with a window above my bed, so it would cast a huge shadow across the wall, I would watch that every night till it shut off just so I knew it wouldnt get me...I had dreams about it and never for a year slept with my back to it....the one day it stopped working I went to throw it away without my mom knowing, she found it in the trash, put new batteries in, and stuck it on my dresser while I was with my dad. I came home and it was on my dresser imagine throwing it away and it appearing there again and not knowing how it happened? Sorry this is long...alright Im done lol please help!!
