Yeah, that's when it's a phobia.
Here's my advice then:
People will be able to offer you ideas on how to get over it, but really, only you can overcome it. Try every method you can think of (as long as it isn't too extreme). Maybe even go buy yourself a harmless spider and keep it as a pet (play with it often ). Also, be patient with it. I offer this as a solution to a lot because it's true. So many things can be resolved with merely time itself. Oh, and good luck.
