I don't know the proper term, but you know the inside of your elbow/arm where physicians draw blood from? Yeah, I can stand it. Can't look at it can't touch it. I've have this fear for as long as I can remember.

Wow, I have never heard the elbow crook one. Kind of sucks that you have two of them and that they will never leave your side, so to speak. I wonder if that started when having some blood drawn as a child. Do you have a fear of having blood drawn? It is quite interesting that this would be a phobia. Have you ever tried to get to the bottom of it? Do you often wear long sleeves so you don't have to keep looking at them? Now, the fear of being abandoned is part phobia and part realistic fear. Those are the hardest ones to beat. If its not overwhelming you or preoccupying your thoughts, then its best to work on that one a little bit at a time. Do you have abandonment issues, or just fear of abandonment issues? They are two different things. Have you been abandoned in the past? Has some you love been abandoned? Feel free to share whatever you may care to. RM
