I hate jellybeans..
I can’t even look at them, they scare me so much. I can’t go into lolly stores anymore. Eating them won’t help - I had nightmares about them crawling out my stomach and bursting through my skin. I get teased for it all the time - this one girl is always provoking me, she shows me pics of them to scare me and laughs at me when I freak out and stuff and I hate her for it. It’s not a joke, it’s a very real fear just like any other fear e.g. a fear of heights but the fact is it’s just so RIDICULOUS. Help.

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
I also hate jelly beans. Would you like to be on my team in waging infinte justice against them?
We could use them in the war against pears! What could hurt more than a barrage of jellybeans?
uurgh.. I can’t even touch or look at jellybeans though..
hmm.. have you seen a candyologist?
ummm >.> do u hate people whos nick name is jellybean?
I don’t have anything against those nicknamed “Jellybean”, no..
And the jellybeans wouldn’t care - they’re inanimate.

never knew they existed..
well I’m not saying that they really do or don’t exist, but if someone says, “Hey you look sick so I’m prescribing you 5 green jellybeans a day”, don’t do it, it’s a trick.
can u explain y u are scared of them something happen in the past?
Do you guys all think that this is a ******* joke or something? I assure you, it’s not. Please don’t thing wtf this is ridiculous this person is playing around or something because I’m NOT I’m serious.
lol sorry if we’re being less than serious, it’s just such an unusual situation. But luckily jellybeans are very easy to avoid, I haven’t actually seen one in months. Perhaps you could consider some therapy?
they actually hide everywhere like easter eggs

haha this is funny
people who don’t have problems with jellybeans just don’t notice
Are you serious? Lol. Can I swap lives with you? I see jellybeans every time I go out of my house. That sucks.
I don’t know if my parents could be stufffed getting my therapy.

how old are you?
I’m 13. And you wouldn’t think it was funny if you had a panic attack and got dizzy from panic and started hyperventilating and nearly passed out every time you went grocery shopping.

LMAO
dont worry they dont bite
Really? Maybe there’s like, an overabundance of jellybeans in Australia. That’s actually pretty odd. Either way, you can’t let this rule your life. If it’s really causing you this much distress, you need therapy for it like any other anxiety problem or phobia.
Well, how great is this, my parents think i can just get over it on my own and that I don’t need therapy. I don’t know if they’re right or not, but either way, I don’t think therapy is an option right now.

you reminded me of
Well I don’t know if this will help, but what a lot of people who are addicted to cutting themselves to is wear a hair tie around their wrist, and snap it when they feel the urge to cut. Maybe you can wear one too, any whenever you encounter a jellybean, you’d snap it, and get distracted by the slight pain. Hopefully when the distraction wears off you’ll be long gone from this candy of torment.
i don’t think that would help. I’d probably be too freaked out and be shaking too much to snap it.. lol

if you were my sis or brother i would scare you the whole day lol
And, smokinvanilla, I am NOT afraid of pickles. And you are a very cruel person to think you can get fun out of other people’s suffering.
I hated jellybeans at the start of this post, and now I don’t. Therefore it is possible to get over it.
I read something JesusMurphy wrote and it made me think, and I thought about responding to some thing she said before, and I thought awhile and then I forgot to hate jellybeans. But I never hated them in my life before, so I probably picked it up empathically from you. How did you start to hate them?
Aw, I made ya think? :)
“The problem is not that people are dumb. Every person alive is a genius when he or she thinks, the tricky part is getting them thinking in the first place”
-What the Bleep do we Know
Micheal brings up a good point, maybe if you think about how you started hating them, you’ll figure out the root cause. At the start of this post I thought this was silliness, but now I see that anything, even if it is candy, that causes you so much distress is serious. I’m very invested now in helping you through this; so know that I’m on your side :) (sometimes all you need to know is that someone’s got your back)
I started to hate them because.. i don’t know. I woke up after probably the third nightmare I’d had about them, then I walked past the lolly jar (which was full of jellybeans) and panicked.
smokin vanilla that you tube video was great, you can’t help but laugh, even though to her its very frightening.
i have a phobia about something, it seems silly to others but the fear is real to me, so i can understand a little what you go through, but it can’t rule your life the elastic band on your wrist is a good coping technique, the more fearful and panniked you get the harder you will find you snap it
Ahh if it started with a dream, maybe the jellybeans are a symbol for something bigger your subconcious is trying to tell you. I’d recommend a dream interpretation book, then.
I was showing my 5-year old cousin the internet and warned him it could be dangerous. To demonstrate, I Googled “DANGER” and the top links were about sugar. Beans are sometimes magic in more ways.
