When i was a kid i used to afraid of blanket when its lay down and messy. It creeps me out n always mk me cry. I dnt know how to tell my parents what i saw is something terrifying.

And nowadays i always dream about holes and rounds. I dream holes in knee, pimples on skins, and etc. Disgust, afraid, fear n idk any feelings that comes out. But it let me cry for a moment.

I have two major phobias.

1. Heights

2. Being alone.

Heights have been my greatest fear forever now, I dont know why.

The being alone part, is a new one. Since the beginning of this year, I've had horrifying experiences of me being alone. I used to have these severe nightmares where I would walk in the front door and some man would be in my house. He would chase me around my neighborhood and no one would help me. This fear became even greater when things started happening to me. I was with my Mom one night in her room, and a woman screamed twice from downstairs. I was home alone once and I felt this overwhelming sensation of someone being near me. I went outside to clear my mind and once I came back inside I said to whatever was there, "Look, I just wanna watch TV. Please leave me alone."

No more than five minutes later, as I was sitting on my couch, something punched that door. Like it sounded like a bird flew into my glass door. I immediately thought it was my brother playing a trick on me, but nothing was there.

This anxiety has turned from being alone in my house to me being alone in school. I do have friends, but I feel alone...

OH MY GOD! I had this when my husband deployed I used to see a man at my bedroom room door and he would lay above me and just breathe on me and I couldn't move. I think it's because I knew in my mind my husband was gone and no one else was in the house but me. It was horrible! :(

I've got molluscophobia, which means I fear snails and slugs. Everyone keeps saying I'm being ridiculous and they won't do any harm...but that's not the point, I simply find them disgusting(sorry) and feel seriously bothered just at the sight of them. I hate seeing photos, pictures, and even the spelling of those words. I see them in nightmares and dread rainy days.

Once, I had my friend look up where mollusks live(so that I can avoid those areas) and the research result was that they live EVERYWHERE. I am so doomed!!!!

Does anyone understand even a bit of this? It would be comforting just to know I'm not alone....

I have arachnophobia.

Fear of spiders.

Not bugs. Spiders!

I was bit by a spider and had to be hospitalized for over a week! I'm terrified of them and will go into a panic attack if one is too close to me. Not cool man. Not cool.

I've been terrified of bees/wasps/hornets/whatever since I was a kid. It's awkward because I would love to go outside and get some air or maybe a tan but I am always afraid of getting stung.

I am terrified of throwing up. The minute I even feel slightly nauseous I have a full blown panic attack. I go to therapy but it so far has only helped me control my minor panic attacks. What's worse, I found out in May I was developing anorexia nervosa. So my only do I feel nauseous, but I've been so terrified of my anorexia that I constantly feel like I need to eat.

I'm terrified of dark water, I won't even swim in the lake, sharks, whales, anything that's inside water hahah and I can't even do research online about these things because it freaks me out. Yes, photos freak me out!

I'm afraid of most things since I have really high anxiety but my worst fears are crowds, meeting new people, bad things happening to me or the people I love, failure and letting my family down, preforming (even though I'm a concert violinist), and VOMITING. As strange as it sounds, it's my worst fear. When I was 7 I was ill and when I'm ill my parents used to make me drink red Gatorade (not sure why). Anyways, that night I threw up and it was red from the drink. I thought it was blood and that I was going to die. Probably part of the reason I have anxiety tbh...

I am afraid of watching water on TV. For examples: Oceans, Rivers, water falls, lakes. And so on. Even ln Guided Meditations when talks about water. I can't listen to it. I am not sure the name of the phobia. I've been told it is one.
