    If we're talking complete body shut down in reaction to - heights. I get nauseous when it's just on TV.

    Bridges ! :( ****e i got shivers going up my spine ahhh i need to cross 2 daily

    Right there with you...I HATE driving over bridges. I don't mean like the little over pass that goes over the Truckee River here in town. I'm talking stuff like the Bay Bridge in SF...the I-95 Bridge in Philly...the bay bridge going to Annapolis...I have to be as close to the middle of the bridge as possible so I can't see over the sides & I white knuckle the steering wheel or the oh *kitten* bar (if I'm not driving) for the entire span.

    Me too... I hate bridges. I have to be in the center so I can't see over the sides too. The scary ones for me are the bridge in Astoria, and the blue bridge in Tri-cities.

    Spiders and noises outside my house at night. I live by myself so I get super paranoid at night. I have an alarm system, but still. I'm a wimp! Lol

    Get a dog if you can!

    I have a little pug cross and he is still super defensive of me when I'm in the house alone.

    If my boyfriend is home too my dog sleeps with me under the covers but if my boyfriend is out of town he sits at the edge of the bed and watches the door.

    Or if I am upstairs and someone walks by outside he'll come stand in front of me and growl.

    Then again when you are alone in the dark house and the dog growls it will scare the mufa f out of you.

    I am an emetophobe. I fear vomit. Myself vomiting, my children vomiting or a stranger vomiting.

    It is a horrible phobia to live with. I've had people make fun of me for it. The hardest part is that I can't just avoid it like many people can avoid their phobia. It's a bodily function, you can't escape that.

    Snakes scare me too, but I would take a snake over vomit.

    Is a vomiting snake like instant death?

    Cottion Balls! Thay are just so gross and creepy!!
    I hate cotton balls too! I can't stand the way they feel..ugh.

    Can the two of you call my wife and tell her that this is not unusual? I cannot touch cotton. Pill bottles with cotton - my wife has to remove the cotton. I just can't do it.

    My mom is like that too! and I had a girl friend growing up who was the same.

    It's actually super common.

    Clowns freak me out, too, especially if they are on stilts, for some reason.

    Tape/Stickers. I can deal with a little kid having a sticker on their shirt, it still gross to me but it's ok, but when they put them on their hands or face it makes me want to throw-up.

    dendropophobia- the fear of losing teeth. i have dreams about losing my teeth that are so real i wake up with night sweats just about crying, have to get up count all my teeth with my tongue. i also have a fear of teeth in general, probably the first thing i look at on a person is there teeth, (good personal hygiene starts there) but i cant even deal with my son (he is 6) losing his teeth.
