    acartohygieiophobia


    (n.) The morbid fear of running out of toilet paper. From the Greek, literally "absence of paper for hygiene purposes, fear of."

    An abnormal and persistent concern about the possibility of being without toilet paper at the vital moment. Highly variable in severity, can range from merely accumulating and storing excessive supplies of toilet paper to at the most extreme end, a need to stock up "just in case" every time the person goes past a shop, even though the house is already full of the stuff.

    Milder forms of toilet paper anxiety not fulfilling criteria for the full-blown disorder include obsessions with whether the paper comes off the roll from the top or underneath, and changing rolls around when they are on the "wrong" way.


    I seriously have about 250 rolls of toilet paper in my house right now and I take rolls when travelling, lol... which came in handy while at a family reunion a couple weeks ago, cuz the bathroom there ran out of toilet paper, and guess who just so happened to have a roll in the car! saved the day!

    My little sister had had this phobia since she was a little girl. We didn't even know there was a name for it until a few years ago.

    I am claustrophobic, very very afraid of heights (I had to leave a sports game once because our seats were too high up in the stadium), deep water, and I have social anxiety so I am very afraid of silly things like talking on the phone, asking questions, talking to strangers (I just hide it very well because I work in retail and really have no choice).

    I'm from Hawaii I woke up to one of those around my neck once, while camping. The worst is that their pincher can go through your shoes.

    Seriously...wtf is that thing? We do not have those in Syracuse ny.

    I also have a fear of clowns. When I was 7, I had open heart surgery. On the way to the OR, they had clowns dressed as doctors trying to cheer me up. They pretended to examine me. I went into surgery thinking the clowns were operating on me. Yeah I hate clowns.

    I also have arachnaphobia. Thanks to a tarantula in my hair as a kid.

    I have a phobia of sparklers, I just can't be near them. I think it's from being told too many horror stories as a kid. I know generally they are safe but I just hate them.

    I have a fear of driving. I was hit by a car in the past, so I feel a little scared crossing the street that the car will drive into me since it happened before, but It doesn't actually interfere with my life. I know that most of the time people do not just drive their car into people. I'm not afraid to be a passenger in the car when the driver is a good driver and I have on a seat belt. But, more and more I do not like to be the driver. I never liked driving. I have a problem in my eyes that is actually causing this concern (spasms), so it's not really irrational. Maybe once this problem is better I will feel more comfortable, or maybe not. I'd rather walk and take public transit. It's better for my fitness and the environment and it means we only need to have one car for our family.

    I also get a little nervous walking in dangerous parts of the city, but I still do it if needed (I try to not show fear, to be direct, and to take normal precautions).

    I don't like the dark (especially when there are no windows) or being locked in with no way out.

    I fear 3 am!
    Stupid I know. But everything bad seems to happen around the 3 am hour! Guess it goes with the fear of seeing aliens! I cant believe Im actually telling everyone about these! Just that grey face with those big scary eyes really freeks me out!

    I have no reason to have these fears. I wasnt sucked up in some ufo and prodded when I was a kid. Just a weird fear!

    To the person that said trypophobia - dude, that's freaking disgusting... and it just made the top of my list cuz after googling it; I feel puke-ish.

    I'm with the person that said Chucky (the good guys doll) from Child's Play. It jacked me up as a kid... same with Puppet Master (although I can actually sit thru that one). I can't actually do Child's Play - first or second. There's something about a small inanimate object coming to life and trying to kill me - that freaks me the *kitten* out. Go figure. It's not pediophobia, cuz that's just a fear of dolls.

    I'm fine with dolls. As long as they don't come to life and try and kick my *kitten*.

    Triskaidekaphobia: fear of the number 13. it's pretty bad. i have to look at another set of numbers after I see that horrid number and that includes any combination of numbers that add up to it, too.

    Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders.

    Coulrophobia- Fear of clowns

    I also have a hard time walking over sidewalk grates, it just freaks me out walking on "air".

    Orthopterophobia- fear of grasshoppers or crickets.


    Crikets have always freaked me the *kitten* out! I don't know if they bite but they are probably the most annoying bug ever! Seriously, what is the purpose of all these annoying and disgusting insects?!


    Im not a big fan of spiders either. If I see one, I won't scream but I definitely jump sometimes. Im allright as long as the spider doesn't fly and isn't the size of a car lol. I have this fear of waking up to a nasty spider in my bed ever since I saw a pic someone posted on the forums here. Ewwwwww.


    Crickets mostly freak me out due to their jumping and it's hard to kill them. I feel like they will jump at my face or something. Horrible.

    I'm cool with your weird hole phobia. Didn't faze me one bit. I've been slowly overcoming *most* of my childhood phobias, and I'm pretty good with most of them:

    Used to be SUPER afraid of heights. Not really anymore.
    Used to be AFRAID of spiders. Now I'm just a little squeamish--I'm the one who takes care of them for my husband.
    Now the only one that's stuck with me and gotten worse is inadequacy, or that I'll f something up, or that I actually am as stupid as my sisters told me I was. That one's been hard to shake. Hmm...that's probably the "hole" I'm trying to fill with food. Ah well...now I'll just try to put exercise there instead.

    Fear of being thirsty. I always have something near me. I have water and tea at my desk and if I get up to leave it for any reason I take it with me even if I am going to be gone for just a minute.

    I am claustrophobic, as well as being wrapped in anything, or pressing on me. I had to take my acrylic nails off because I was about to go insane because they were touching me and I could not easily remove them, it made me fill trapped somehow.

    ETA: I have a fear of being buried when I die which also brings me to my fear of cremation.

    I have apiphobia (bees). I'm scared of anything that can fly and sting you! That includes bees, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, etc.

    I will finch and scream when they get too close, and I know I should stand still, but it's SO HARD!
