Yes, not particularly helpful; kind of like the slapping scene from "Airplane" (that movie is itself good therapy). However, hidden in that post is the suggestion that only you can overcome your fear; the more you pander and surrender to it, the longer it will take. Recognize fear for what it is by saying "OK, so I'm afraid. Now what ?" And move on.

We're all afraid of something, pinworm included.

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
