Im afraid of trees
Which ne of my phobias?...
IDK the name of the phobia but I'm afraid of loud sound
When i was about 7 or 8 i had food poisoning and i had vomited alot that night and idk it kinda scared me like every time i puke or even gag it scares me and my anxiety makes me panic about it more making the situation worse and all these years i still haven't found a way to cope, i don't really wanna keep chewing gum every single day to some what make myself feel only a tiny bit less anxious all the time. And i some times will wake up in a cold sweat basically nauseous and I'll sit in the bathroom for hours dry hiving, or heaving? Im not sure how to spell it im sorry but it happens and i dont know what to do.

I have so many phobias, and vomiting is one of my top ones.. With anxiety I get so many symptoms mostly gas which causes heartburn.. The reason is during our fight or flight moment our digestive system goes haywire.. we wouldn't normally notice it if we were actually in a serious life threatening situation like a tiger was chasing us.. That's why we notice the heart beating, gas, upset stomach, etc..
Just know you aren't alone.. I just wish I had someone close to me in my life I could talk to about this in person.. Keep telling yourself you are gonna be ok and it's all in your head.. Just breathe and let it pass..
I just signed up on this app today to find people to chat about my phobias, and even writing this to you knowing I'm not the only one who goes through this is making me cry.. I think I needed a good cry anyway..
Along with my phobia of vomiting, I fear doctors, dentists, needles, public speaking, huge social gatherings, etc.. I force myself to go out and not let it control my life.. it gets easier over time then I have my moments of it getting worse then I force myself to know it's all in my head..
it's hard but keep staying positive my friend.. 🤗
@Findingdevo i hope it gets better for you one day and thank you honestly im glad im not alone but i hate to hear about others suffering so please do your best to hopefully find help
My phobia is looking down when going up and
Well I am not sure if my phobia has something like name, but I am scared of ballons. Yeah I know, it sounds like fun. It started probably when a ballon banged right on my face, when I was breathing into it, when I was a small child. Since then, when I see ballon I feel so anxious about it. It can bang right next to me any time, I am telling to me. So I am trying to avoid everything which contains ballons.
Apparently there is no medical term, but it's apparently called allegrophobia. My phobia is being late, and it comes from when I had OCD in 2015-2016, one of the things remaining from my OCD.
I also have a fear of becoming sick (not vomiting) and dying, depsite being religious and believing in afterlife.
I also have a phobia of ticks, probably my biggest fear of all.
I have tripophobia....the fear of holes

whenever I see spiders I start panicking and it gives me a plan to death...... I just can't explain how does this feels and kosmemophobia is not greatly known till now but this exist in my life...I don't know how to manage these phobias in my life.
i have thanatophobia, tripophobia, thalassophobia and anxiety towards houses.. which is a bit weird
peoples houses make me very uncomfortable, especially beach houses or very modern houses
