So, I am playing Subnautica since January now. I haven't finished the game yet but I have a phobia.
I am terrified of Reaper Leviathans.
I just cannot get close to Aurora, since I am terribly scared.
I've even turned on the "invisible" cheat, but the phobia is still there, even tough I clearly know I can't get hurt.
Any suggestions?
Are there any anti-Reaper-Leviathan-phobia pills?

Seriously, though, I know that Reaper off the bow of the Aurora is scary, but if you stick to the surface near the hull, it won't go anywhere near you. You can do everything you'll need to do without going into the places where there are many Reapers (Dunes, Mountains, stern and starboard sides of the Aurora).
Lower the volume a little, to lessen the impact of it's roar. Get a Seamoth or a PRAWN and go visit one of them (the one near the Aurora aft is a nice pick). When they charge just move sideways. Look at it. Let it grab your vehicle and chew on it.
Leave the vehicle, stasis it, repair and repeat. After a few minutes you'll be much less scared of them.
Also try building a base near a Reaper.
It's not the consequences of meeting one that scares you, just the anticipation of it. Hearing one roaring out of the blue still spooks me, but I don't let it get in my way.
just take this path
.Don't worry your not alone (points towards slef)
That never has a reaper? That explains why I could never find the reaper that was supposedly in front of the aurora... i've always taken that path.
The way I got used to them is to just spend time near them. Way back when it involved an invincible cyclops, but now just go invisible, find one and just follow it around for awhile. Eventually the fear wears off and you get used to their screams.
I'd be interested to hear what, if anything, worked for you.
Here's another suggestion: Do you have a friend you can game with? (Although "game with" in this case may mean "sit next to me and watch me play.") Having a buddy around makes anything less scary.
Sidenote, there was a reaper on the side of the Aurora that would terrorize anyone nearby. It would also commonly wander into the waters of the Aurora Interior. this reaper was moved further north to make it easier to get to the Aurora, which is why you can no longer find it.
Back than there used to be some large pieces of the Aurora lying around, right? There was one reaper on the way to lifepod 4. It was my first contact, terrifying. Don't know why it was removed, that was a great introduction.
Yea, I miss that debris field. Either way, I believe they removed it to allow new players to get there easier.
My first encounter with a reaper leviathan was at the back of the Aurora and I was scanning Cyclops fragments, then out of nowhere one of them charged at me. Luckily it cried out so then I was able to see it and get out of the way.
So now whenever I hear the crie of any leviathan that would attack me, I turn in the opposite direction and quietly say nope, nope, nope, nope.
They can roam a bit and the starting lifepod was sometimes in range. In one of my earlier games I think a reaper grabbed my lifepod with me inside.
Unexpectedly rapidly gaining depth in the nice, safe starter lifepod is not an ideal introduction to the game.
drive ON the aurora (make sure its a light landing if you let yourself land might as well lose yer legs THEN get eaten) then slip off into the water and quickly enter it. NOT from the front or else you'll be a pile of silky bones
