To cope with this I sometimes imagined myself as an insect queen - the locusts chose me rather than just swarmed. Also recently I decided to try to create an insectoid character for a tabletop RPG I plan to play. This helped me a bit, but not fully.

yesterday was a serious breakthrough with my insectophobia

a bit of background:
When I was a kid I used to travel around Crimea steppes with my parents. During one of our stops we were unlucky to encounter a locust swarm. This was especially shocking for me, since I was like 5 or 6 at that time and I was entirely covered by locusts, they crawled in my pockets, under my shirt, under my pants, in my hair, in my eyes, around my mouth and this continued for ah hour. Even after my parents cleared me of locusts they still were present everywhere.
This changed me in a way, I began to be incredibly afraid of any insect, including butterflies and ants. Images too were enough to drive me to near-panic state.

Spent the last two days desperately trying to figure out how the hospital’s cafeteria coffee pot works, because it had a big red button on the lid. But all I had to do is to turn the lid clockwise, instead of trying to invent creative ways to press a button which has no function. I would really like to see whoever designed this pot.

as per my tradition I gotta shamelessly advertise my cat at least once in spaces I'm in
