I saw a spider and had a bad panic attack, I screamed and cried. I was diagnosed with PTSD because my parents forced me to play with spiders to get me to not be afraid of them anymore, even after I cried and screamed as a child they would pick the spider up and put it on my arm and force me to let it crawl on my arm, since then just thinking about a spider makes my palms sweat, my throat close up, and make me feel almost paralyzed while the feeling you get while going down on a rollercoaster fills me.

That's awful they did that to you, I can't imagine doing that to a child!!! I am so sorry!!!
@Aceland They did the same to my big brother but they didn’t force him as much so they got better results, I guess they had my best interest in mind, I also think the fact that they come from a 3rd world country where parenting is harsher added to it
Oh yes that was part of it, most likely!

@Aceland The way the approached it with me was too rough though, probably why they traumatized me.
Yes that kind of thing would make me feel out of control!
