Having trouble with a severe phobia issue and it started a week after a close friend died in a terrible way . In winter the phobia and hallucinations go away completely.

I saw a neuro doc to make sure was not coming from the neuro issues. It is not a simple phobia though . Has the therapist at a standstill flummoxed. And also the previous therapist could not make headway on it either. Attacking it by symptom did not work so coming at it from the trigger that set it off in the beginning we hope. .

And it has been three years and escalated to beat the band. But the question is . Is it unusual for a phobia to turn into a very clear powerful hallucination that is very much related to the phobia of a real here and now object I deal with when it is not winter.

I dont want to go into specifics because if I did some of ya might go on a crash diet..
