I have a phobia of heights. I think it might result from falling from stairs when i was little, but well, that's just an assumption. :) It kinda sucks because i really love hiking but can't go on chain paths because i immediately start feeling dizzy.

I have a phobia of cockroaches. Dead ones, live ones, pictures of them, even the thought of them freaks me out to no end. My mom would scream at the top of her lungs if she saw one when I was small, so the fear stuck to me too.

My biggest fear is being sick and doctors. I often feel poorly (tummy aches, head aches, sore throat or muscles etc etc) and that makes me freak out a lot. The worst part about it is that people never believe me and tell me it's all in my head, even though I physically feel sick. It's quite difficult to live like this as this problem is a daily thing.

Oh, and also trypophobia (the fear or a lot of holes). Not terrified of them, but they freak me out. Can't even look at things (for ex rocks that have pores) without feeling disgusting.

I have a severe phobia of airIplanes. I start having anxiety the day before and it increases until I'm on the flight. I have anxiety medication, but without it I cry and panic the entire way.

I have a severe phobia of sexuality. I cant watch TV with even mild innuendo or listen to song lyrics that reference it.

Phobia of insects, especially those that can fly, and the fear of being alone.
