I agree wholeheartedly! Let's see:
1) Get a cat (wilder stray ones are actually better for mouse catching-I have lived on a farm with LOTS of cats)!
2) Have some Xanax around just in case you need to take one (taking as needed).
3) Find a good psychologist who does exposure therapy. It's creepy, but is highly successful for simple phobias.
