emetophobia - fear of throwing up/ vomit and also have a fear of germs and getting sick, unhealthy

ive always had this fear really bad that i avoid being around people, eating food etc, i cant even take medication bc im scared of side effects, it effects my life every single day im constantly thinking about what ive eaten and who ive been around and i stay up until the morning. its a strange fear but its ruining my life to the point its even made me suicidal

idk if this counts but i get so scared from watching horror movies, even when its not even that scary i still find it hard to sleep at night and i know im too old to feel this way but i do

I have a fear of people. I behave with a mask but am always on edge. From my youngest years I was a shy child I could never really interact with people however if they interacted with me I'd be able to open up...sometimes. More often I connected with the outcasts, the rejected and exiled. I counted them friends. I couldn't trust them. Or all those around me. The most common reaction is simple twitching, biting nails and fighting the urge to run and hide. Lately it has been worse. After being trapped in Ohio in an extreme misadventure it seemed a little worse. It has been almost a year since then. When I doubt and don't trust people my fear doubles sometimes resulting in paranoia. I struggle with trust and abandonment. Yet I still need people. I mask the fear but I feel it. I mask the loneliness but it haunts me. Everyone everywhere is special. I care about them. But I fear them. Being me being all that I am is a complex mess.

Trypanophobia - Fear of needles.

Doesn't need much explaining, I'm just really gonna cause myself health problems for how much I keep avoiding appointments.

three current fear

1. being thrown out on the street

2. Never being published

3. Not having a cat again

I have terrible Spheksophobia (fear of wasps). So badly, in fact, that even the buzzing noises of other insects trigger my fear response until I see that it is not a wasp. This is a terrible phobia to have as a male in the current societal gender roles of the countryside that I live in.

I can handle venomous snakes. But not a simple insect? Strange.

Emetophobia. The thought of getting sick terrifies me so much, sometimes I just can't even bring myself to eat. I've always been like that, but it's gotten worse the past six or so years since developing a chronic digestive disorder.

Perhaps the fear of missing out...I get overwhelmed in the moment and it

I have a fear of being judged, so basically social anxiety

The fear of life itself. I try to avoid it as much as possible.
