Common phobia: This kind of phobia is common and can be intense. It can be easily remedied, call your pcp who will prescribe an anxiolytic medication like Klonopin (clonazepam) to overcome this anxiety.

Grow Stronger: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. You are also in a different place than you were 9yrs ago as a teenager. I think you will find it is not the big deal you have imaged and you are now in control, you can have as much done or done later as you decided.
