Hello Riasilver and Welcome :-)

I totally understand when you have had a bad experience of any kind it can leave you traumatised as the flood has left you feeling

But since 2012 till now we have had heavy rain at times and you have not got flooded since ?

I would speak with my Doctor , I think Counselling would be the way to go to help you and your Doctor could refer you :-)

You will overcome this trauma but you need help in letting go of the fear which you will do in time :-)

Take Care x

Hello there ~Well I think we all have a fear of something or another and Anxiety makes it a hundred times worse. As lulu said You may need to speak to someone to help overcome your fears. Why not give the Samaritans a ring ? Sometimes just talking can help. I really hope you can overcome your fears and wish you well 🙂

I am currently seeing a therapist who has told me of her success treating phobias with the "tapping" method. Have you heard of it before? You may want to check out a few Youtube videos or look into it. She told me that one patient had a terrible fear of water. All water. He used the tapping method while sitting near a pool and by the end of a one hour session, he was chest deep in the water and fearless. I wish you the best!
