If you find yourself: Paralyzed with fear about contracting diseases - you might ask your parents about seeing a therapist who does cognitive behavioral therapy. Take care.

CBT: Seek a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in phobias. One method they use is systematic desensitization which slowly and incrementally brings the person closer and closer to the thing they are afraid of in slow, graduated steps that help make the anxiety more tolerable.
