Do you have a phobia?

I don't like the dentist. I don't go unless there's something seriously wrong... I know it's foolish but I grew up in the generation where the 'murder house' hurt like hell and now my teeth are vulnerable even having them cleaned hurts enormously.

lol, MURDER HOUSE, I like that.

~ Unchlorinated (I probably totally made that word up) bodies of water (Lakes, Ponds, Ocean). I will not swim in them, and will only walk into the "surf" of an ocean, nothing above my ankles. Fish live there, and it creeps me out.

~ Dying. I can work myself into a panic attack if I think about it.

~ Electricity. I am afraid of getting electrocuted.

E.T. :"(

I love this thread. Some of it is making me laugh out loud.

Not one but TWO people with mustard phobias? Seriously! (not judging, just amused at the likelihood of 2 cases).

I am always terrified of spiders. But in terms of phobia, enclosed spaces - not elevators, but i could NEVER go in a cave. And when i am in a bad space emotionally, i have terrible problems with claustrophobia which extends to rooms with no windows, and even to not being able to open my eyes.

I had a bedroom with a European style blind on the outside of the only window. The blind broke in the down position. For months the thought of being sedated for surgery just gave me panic attacks at night (i had no plans for surgery but still thought about it). Then i started to be afraid even to close my eyes to go to sleep. Finally, after propping the blind up on a chair just to get some light in just so i could sleep nights, i had to go crazy on my landlord to get the darned blind fixed!

It's not a phobia, but dirty fingernails...uuuggghhh yuck just imagine what's under there.....

Spiders. Although I try not to kill them, I will try to get them back outside. For all of my goodness to them, two of those mother effers have landed in my cleavage. I freaked out with one and took off my shirt and didn't see it on me, I looked at my shirt and it crawled right out. The thing about the spiders here in England (and Europe in general) is that they are harmless but HUGE! Let me give you guys an idea of what I deal with....





When I let it back outside, it spread out to as big at the container trying to get away. I usually find them on my stairs during the harvest season. Everyone thinks that they come in because it's getting colder outside. Nope. They are sent out of the fields by tractors and I live right next to a stinking field. :-)


I also hate flying. I need meds to fly otherwise I chew lots of gum and talk to myself during turbulence. It's funny to laugh about how crazy I am after we land safely!

So many spider phobias! I feel so bad for people who have this phobia, because they are so common. I love spiders and think they are beautiful (that said, it's my husband that has to come and catch them to put outside).

I really really hate glass elevators. I used to have a recurring dream of being in a glass elevator that kept rising faster and faster, and there was never a way to get out of it. This also means cable cars- and where I live, there are tons of them, so I go on them all the time. It's quite inconvenient, but I'm getting better! I used to cry on cable cars, now I can sometimes* enjoy them.

Another is blood injections/having blood drawn- but this is because I have really really weak veins and am always treated like a pincusion whenever it has to happen- so I now get really anxious before I have to do it.

flying **** that stings, and maybe im a little claustrophobic

lol, should have killed it with your boobs LMAO

Wood, specifically rough (not varnished) wood. The thought of it makes me feel sick. I bless the person who invented non-wooden kitchen spoons and spatulas :-D
