I'm deathly afraid of squirrels and told a friend who is getting his PhD in clinical psychology. He reassured me that this phobia is completely cureable with behavioral therapy. I'm considering going to a psychologist who specializes in behavioral therapy.

On another note, I have another friend who was afraid of snakes and was able to rid her fear with some therapy.

Write a book on controlling the fear of squirrels, and sell it. You will get rich.

Yeah, the fear of squirrels was really the only reason I made it here. I suggest you just focus on the squirrel issue - much more interesting than your daily food runs. What the world needs is not another food blog - I think the overwhelming response to your blog on this topic shows that we need some group squirrel therapy.

Im in high school and live in a 'go nowhere' town. I don't know why but Ive always been alarmingly afraid of squirrels. Last year we had a softball game and I played catcher. Like I said before, I live in the middle of no where so there's a lot of wildlife and forests around. Well it's the 7th inning and the game is tied. All of a sudden... a squirrel falls a from a power line that hangs over the field (dont ask why the power line is there because I sure as heck dont know) and it lands right beside second base. Brianna pitches the ball and it smacks me right in the chest! The squirrel starts running towards our dugout so I sprinting as fast as I can with all that gear on.. I was crying and ran like half a mile before they stopped me... so embarassing.. Everytime I see one cross the road I nearly wreck I stop so quickly.. but anyways thats my story..

haha thats so weird. i was in the park today with my girlfriend and like three squirrels randomly ran towards us and i flipped shit and hid while she scared them away. i didnt know this was an actual fear that people have. im just happy to see that some people understand me, unlike my girlfriend who just made fun of me.

Thank you so much. I thought I was the only one too! My friends take the mick and think I'm joking. I'm so not. Have you heard the weird hissing noise they can make. Makes my skin crawl just to think about them.

I have a crippling fear of squirrels to the extent that when one recently got into my roof space I had to move out. I could not get over the prospect of one coming up the pipe system when I was on the toilet. I hate those bloody furry rats.

Brian and anyone who has lost their best friend I lost mine on 23 dec 08 from a long painful bout of cancer. He was the love of my life, my spirit child. I live with the pain every day. I did manage to save his dna by having him preserved, it'll be several months before he is ready. Some people think I'm nuts but I could'nt bare burying him or having him cremated. It is'nt cheap but it'll be my connection to my sweet ziggie, he will be back on my pillow where he slept every night. I will never have the kind of love zig gave me ever again. He was very devoted, loving and extremely passionate......unconditional love is an understatement......heaven on earth to be loved like this! I did'nt have to die and go to heaven to experience this kind of love. You can search google under pet preservation and I picked the one in missouri they are more expensive but I believe you get what you pay for. Anyway my heart is with you and I agree humans are not capable of giving such love they have to many stipulations etc with their love and when people say it's just a dog I explain to them what kind of love I had and they will probably never have since they are looking to people and material things to fill their need.....only to be disappointed. I also love animals much more than people. You can always trust and count on your dog. You can't do that with humans. Anyway what is god spelt backwards......there you have it.

ong i thought i was the only one! im 14 and my friends and family don't realize how scared i am. i love rock-climbing and roller-coasters but when i see squirrels i either freeze or run. there is an extended family living in my oak tree and i swear they only terrorize me. if anyone else goes to chase them away they will run but if i go outside they just stare at me and wont move no matter what i do. my mom came home one day and i was standing in the driveway with tears running down my face, afraid to move or make a sound because one was standing two feet away. i think they can smell fear!

Omg I am horrified of squirrels, my best friend lives in an area were they roam freely ready to attack. I've been chased by them numerous times and I get anxiety attacks everytime one comes near me. My friends make fun of me & laugh about it, but I don't find it humerous. My friend was filming me with her phone and got a nice video of me getting chased by a squirrel da size of a small car (atleast that's what it seemed to me) Once, 4 squirrels blocked my path on the side walk, and procceded to chase me. One even chased me into her building. I no longer walk around were she lives alone, but instead make sure im always with someone who will chase them away from me. I really wish my fear of those little mutants will go away; or atleast for them to stop controlling my life. Im only sixteen and im sick of everyone laughing at me like its a joke...help.
