What is your phobia? Share your story here.
Just came back from a long trip in which I got stuck on a high coastal highway in the middle of the night. 72 miles of terrifyingly high cliffsides. Two days later, I am still felingthe physical affects of a two-hour long sustained panic attack-- even typing about it us making my heart race... Funny thing is, I would not describe myself as having a fear of heights. I think it is more a fear of losing control of the car.
i have agoraphobia and i just want to know how to get over it i'm tired of sacrificingso many things
Me too. :( I don't have any more excuses for not going to family/friend things.
I just know that I scared of forest. It all started when I go to a school trip in past 2 years and I lost in a cave (cave that covered with huge stones under a forests) for thirty minutes. It's totally dark and I'm alone.I start to get panic when I realised that I'm alone but I tried to overcome my panic and find anyway to out from there. I found my way out. Its relieve cuz one of my team member noticed the absence of me. They had tried to find me but fail and they had decided to get out first and find me out there. Thank God I yell out and one of my friend heard it and give a respond. I'm survived after an hour. Since then, when I saw a forest I will start to panic but its just mild. I really want to overcome this cuz I love extreme activities including forest.
Germs/contracting illness. But mostly contracting viruses. I'm not afraid of things like the flu, I'm afraid of things that would stay with me for life and slowly kill me, or make me really sick and there's not cure. Viruses can't be treated with antibiotics, they only treat the symptoms and try to keep your body stable. That terrifies me. And it affects me greatly, causes arguments, embarrassment, etc.
I'm terrified of human sized pink bunny suits with a white panel on the front and the McDonald's clown. It's really illogical but I think that the bunny inside the suit is going to eat me while the clown laughs.
Emetophobia- Fear of vomiting.
Same here.
I have a strange phobia. I'm afraidto talk on the phone. I can only talk to my mother. Anyone else I have an anxiety attack. As a kid I had my mom call my friends and ask for them. Now I can't even call people back or answerthe phone when people call. I think it's from being yelled at by my mom's friend as a kid. Or my fear of randomly losing my voice.
Bleach. I can't be around it. If it touches my skin I have a panic attack because I feel as though i will absorb it and it will get into my blood stream and kill me.
Totally rational I know.
Fear of Entering public toilets
Public speaking and elevators
