What is your phobia? Share your story here.

Hi everyone!

I have somniphobia which is the fear of ‘sleep. I have an intense phobia of dying in my sleep which is how I got this. I feel like I dont have control over my body when I sleep and I therefore cant control whether I live or die?? Idk its really frustrating

I have social phobia, a fear of people surrounding me sometimes i think they are talking about me, i am not good enough for them , i cant talk to person i like to, the words automatically dissapears ! When someone comes in front of me. I cant even say good words to anyone. Life is just a mess!

Hi everyone,

umm....so my phobia would be like a small social phobia. Im not really sure about what this would be but I guess Im really afraid of talking i front of people and I really hate being judged.

I have something called dipsophobia, it

Thantophobia and Agraphobia. The fear of death, and the fear of sexual abuse.

I am really scared of the dentist. Every time I have to go I get a panick attack and sometimes I even pass out.

I have phobias for teletubies and meatloaf. I used to have nightmares as a child of teletubies looking through my window at night, when I see them they fill me with intense fear and make me want to cry. Whenever I see or hear about meatloaf, I get really sick to my stomach and feel it's awful texture in my mouth. I get the shakes just thinking about it.

My primary phobia that's been occupying my mind a lot lately is my fear of bees and wasps (Melissophobia and Spheksophobia).

I have a phobia of abandonment. Not the nicest thing to deal with if you don

Emetophobia (fear of vomiting), or maybe cibophobia (fear of food). I feel like whatever I have is something in the middle of the two, maybe? I've always been terrified of throwing up, and I try to avoid it as best I can. Every time I've gotten sick, it has left a serious impact on me to the point where I can remember nearly every single time I've ever gotten sick in my life which is ridiculous. At the same time, though, it's not exclusive to vomiting, either. I'm scared of food making me sick in general, more because a few years back I developed IBS so I'm terrified of eating foods that will send my gut into a flare-up. Eating in public is horrific, especially if I'm presented with a food that's not safe (ie something that's made me sick in the past, either vomiting or caused an IBS flare-up). There are times when it gets so bad that I just don't eat, or get severe anxiety when I do eat that makes me, in turn, feel like I'm going to be sick and thus adds more fuel to the fire. It sucks and I hate living like this but I don't know how to fix it other than trying to force myself past it and tell myself that whatever happens, happens.
