We're all mad here.

I have the same mouse issue but it's not a phobia at all. I just don't want them in my room. I really have no idea how one would approach that. I've put cotton balls with peppermint oil around my room to act as a repellent but that doesn't stop the noises and such, or really settle things.
I used to have issues with my mind running away with things, monsters under the bed for example, and I got around that by continuing my line of thought to a conclusion that didn't scare me. If a monster was crawling up the side of the bed, it was because it was more comfortable to sleep on top of the bed instead of under it. I would imagine this monster thing sneaking up the side of the bed to ball up at the foot and sleep. I could deal with that thought, so I kept imagining that instead of cutting off the crawling monster thought at the start and it did help.
Tea?
