What is your phobia? Share your story here.
Okay, so I have a phobia for jewelleries. And I wanna know If Im the only out there dealing with this kind of phobia. So please, please text me. I want to hear what kind of things youve been going through, how you deal with it, etc. etc.
This honestly isn't at all like "fear of being alone" or "fear or people" or spiders, however, I have trypophobia which is fear of irregular patterns with clusters and small holes that are closely-packed. I thought I got rid of the fear YEARS ago (after I watched a pewdiepie video that helped me and a ton of other people with it cure it) However it just came back and everytime I think about it I can feel a shiver go down my spine and I get goosebumps and I try very desperately to get the image out of my head. It just disgusts me and makes me think it's all over my scalp and skin. ESPECIALLY when I see coral because some corals have those little clusters and it makes me itch everytime I see it
I have aviophobia. This is the fear of flying and flying planes. When they go overhead my heart begins to race and I listen carefully to hear what could be happening. Seeing one flying freaks me out. Having to go on planes I gat medication, not entirely sure it's working and flooding obviously doesnt work because I've had this for years and been on planes a fair few times and if anything it's worse. Any advice?
I have hemophobia. Fear of blood. The moment I see blood, even in the least amount, I feel like someone just poured hot water in my brain and I either black out of feel heat coming out of my ears. And the worst part is, I'm studying dentistry.
@blueCircle3513 Is it possible to have a phobia of this, but only for yourself? I can't stand to watch my own blood come out when drawn for medical tests, but I was able to sit and watch a doctor take medical staples out of my husband's leg (in which some bled).
@Dawn04 Yes, it is very much possible. In my case, its the opposite. I can see my own blood but not someone else's.
I have a fear of loose hairs and used items (like toys, books, etc.) For both I wash my hands with scalding hot water whenever I come in contact with them
I have a fear of squid and scorpions

@walkingbacktohappiness
Hey Nina, I do know what you are talking about because I also had emetophobia. I can t tell you how to get out of this, just wanna let you know that you are not alone and it does get better! Big hug!
i think i have panphobia - the fear of everything. i know it sounds overdramatic. i think it links to my anxiety and it's not constant, but i can imagine a reason to be scared of anything and everything. if i'm in a bad place, then everything is frightening to me. when i go outside i can always spot a million reasons to be scared. i'm not sure what i can do about this besides seek therapy, but i don't know if they'll even acknowledge it? i'm always told to rationalise but i know none of this is rational. knowing i'm irrational doesn't stop me from being afraid.
I believe in the psych community it’s called GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) they’ll definitely listen to you! You should get help if you need it
I have submechanphobia: a terror of sunken manmade objects. (e.g. doors underwater, ships, planes, cars, bottles.)
Just to give an example of what it's like,
I was on a tube, sailing down a river, laughing with my friends in the cool shade of the trees. Underneath my friend I see something. Something big, something that looks like a car door. I scream at the top of my lungs, all reasoning gone, the happy moment just seconds ago is gone forever. I thrash and kick, flinging myself off my tube and into the river, I'm closer to the door now, I can't breathe, I can't think.
My friend drags me from the river and sits me on the bank, my head pounds and I quake with fear. I can't go back in.
I used to have a phobia of dogs and interactions with people. With alot of hard work I managed. Only feel slightly anxious with it.
The phobias that still remained though is failure and storms.
