I guess it would be easiest for me to copy and paste some of what I
typed for my doctors. I have a diagnosed phobia of two certain actors
(no joke unfortunetly).

I've been suffering from this condition for almost 12 years now(I'm
19 just to let you all know). I'm getting to the point where I can't
take it anymore, and I don't know what to do. I started watching a
TV show(I don't feel comfortable putting what show at this point)
when I was 8. From the very FIRST time I saw two of the actors(the
main actors), I was terrified of the way they looked. Even though I
was so scared for some reason I could not stop watching the show.
Every episode I watched caused me to have an increased heart rate,
and I would start sweating buckets, I also of course had a feeling of
fear. I didn't start having full blown panics(sweating, crying,
increased heart rate, feeling like I was going to pass out, chest
pressure, full blown terror) until a couple of months after the show
went off of the air. I still suffer from panic attacks whenever I see
or hear of these two actors(or the show). I'm so bad I have to check
movie cast lists on IMDB before I go see any movie. I HAVE to see the
opening credits for TV shows to make sure neither of them or someone
else from the show is guest starring on what I'm watching. I can't
work anywhere that I could come into contact with magazines, a TV, or
the radio(songs that were played on the show make me flash back to
certain episodes, I'm also very scared that I will hear celebrity
gossip about one of them.). At times I flash back PTSD style to
certain episodes(with no music trigger), I have no control over this,
and it's happening so often that I've considered suicide(although
I've never developed a plan). The past 6 months have been a nightmare
for me. The really odd thing about this all, is it's not just the two
above mentioned actors. I'm scared of the way 5 other actors look as
well. I was scared of one of the other 5 actors BEFORE I was scared
of the two actors from the show. I have sought professional help, but
my psychologist has no idea what could be causing this. I'm beginning
to wonder if maybe the part of my brain that controls fear could be
going hay wire. That's the only logical explanation I can come up
with. I've seen several psychiatrists and only one of them has
believed me(and she barely believes me at that). My psychologist
takes me seriously but I'm way out of his league and he doesn't know
how to properly help me. I'm sure this is way more info then you all
needed to know, but I needed to vent.
