Do you have any phobias?

[MightyMagician]

I'm terrified of bees, eye drops, I guess I'm a little scared of roller coasters, but I could get over it - I've been on a cable car before and they are beyond dangerous, seeing as I nearly died trying to get off of one, they keep moving even when it reaches the platform.

oh i never replied to this thread

Yes i got arachnophobia which doesn't bother me at all in winter but it's so bad in summer it started to spread out to similar daddy long legses as well and now it's pretty much all bugs I can't even kill them because the idea of having a squashed bug on my hand/wall/floor/etc is almost worse!

I'm also terrified of fish but i don't even know if that's a phobia lol?? i can't look at them or eat them or anything they just creep. me. out. the deep sea ones are the worst! it's the actual appearance of the fish that scares me because i don't have trouble with fish fingers, but anything with scales or fish eyes or even fish-shaped gets me so scared. doesn't affect me that much but it does mean i get worried about going to other ppls houses in case it's fish for dinner

the worst n final one is agoraphobia. it's not as bad as it used to be but it's still pretty damn difficult to deal with. it used to be I would refuse to go to school on thursdays because that's when we had assemblies and i could NOT sit in the hall and the school was really unhelpful with that so they wouldn't let me skip assembly. now it's not so bad and I can go to more places without too much anxiety but i still can't go into unknown places without panicking. and it's worse if i'm on my own/with someone i don't know very well.
yeah but that one affected me a lot because it meant i would never do things outside of school with my friends and they thought i didn't like them (when actually I just was too embarrassed to explain about what i had) so i lost a lot of friends. yeh.

um i hate heights and stairs that aren't like stairs in a house, especially glass stairs that have gaps in between each step like i don't feel secure lol... pretty much the stairs in any public place then cos they're so long n **** no. any bug, insect, thing that can fly, crawl idk exist i HATE and literally cant be in the presence of any i have to move/kill it/get rid of it some how cos i just stop whatever im doing and focus on that one bug lol.

cant rly think of more... will add

phobia of vomit/vomiting i know no one enjoys throwing up but yh i won't get into details coz its gross, i have panic attacks and yh. it's kinda dangerous. I can't help people who are being sick or anything. Once my friend said she felt sick and thought she was gonna throw up and wanted me to help her and i started crying

emetophobia it's called and i totally know how u feel, would refuse to go on school trips because there was always one person who would get sick on the bus and it gave me panic attacks. same with going to restaurants etc id always need to know where the toilets are in case i needed a quick exit. was worried id get sick in public too so would get really anxious but it never happened (not till i started drinking anyway lol). my mum was ill and id have to ring someone to come over cause the sound of her throwing up made me take a panic attack, never mind smelling it or being near her. anyway i had this problem maybe 4 years and it kinda just got rid of itself?? guess i got used to everyone being sick when we went out drinking and it just became no big deal! still unpleasant but doesn't rule my life or give me panic attacks anymore. sorry if that's triggering just letting u know it's fairly common and you can get over it.

anyway idk if there's a name for it but i hate sleeping alone. not particularly scared of the dark as will walk home in it and be fine if im with other people but being in the dark whilst trying to sleep terrifies me. i will keep the tv on but if im going to be home alone for the night, ill either ask to stay somewhere or just not sleep till it's light outside.

oh yeah since we moved into this house and something rly bad happened in the house i found it rly hard to sleep on my own in the night n would legit be begging the person i was seein to stay at mine whenever i knew he could cos i just didn't feel safe unless he was here lol... i just feel like something bad is going to happen all the time so i sleep with the light on at all times n always have my stuff in my bag ready in case somethin happens lol wat

dunno what im doin now thats OVER i guess i have to learn to deal with it n stop relying

sounds so pathetic but i have molluscophobia (fear of slugs or snails - mainly just slugs though) i've never known why but every time i see a slug in my garden i start getting panic attacks and almost cry. the sight of them makes me feel sick - i think it's triggered from a childhood memory that i can't quite remember but i feel really ridiculous about it

oh omg I get this
whenever I'm walking to sixth form and it's been raining i have to watch the ground all the time to avoid slugs n snails on the path. i remember once I was just hopping out to get something from the garden and I had bare feet and i stood on a slug and it popped n i had a panic attack and threw up like twice n had to stay in bed for the rest of the day
still makes me feel sick when i think about it today

sorry that's probably a bad story to tell for u but omg
