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.

We could use them in the war against pears! What could hurt more than a barrage of jellybeans?

I don’t have anything against those nicknamed “Jellybean”, no..
And the jellybeans wouldn’t care - they’re inanimate.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

(I just panic when ppl call me darling, which may be similar.)
