Does anyone else here suffer from eisoptrophobia and/or spectrophobia?

I've been recently dealing with worsening eisoptrophobia (fear of reflections) and spectrophobia (fear of mirrors), and I was wondering if anyone else here experiences these? Does anyone have any tips to manage these phobias?

Ah, sorry, I'm very new to lemmy and I don't quite know how it works.

You're all good. You're probably better off just saying "here" since there are quite a few apps federated together here now.

I had this to a mild degree as an older child, but slowly faded over time to where I haven't in a long long while. Do you know specifically why you have recently developed this fear? Figuring out why you are afraid is going to be the key to solving your issue.
