fear of wide open spaces?

Question

I have a fear of oceans, deserts, the sky, space etc. (vast empty places) I love large public areas with big crowds and don't like staying at home, so I doubt it's agrophobia, I can't even look at pictures of large empty places, I start to panic, do you have any idea what this might be called..?

Answer 1

You feel lost without human companionship

Answer 2

I just wanted to say that I always had a fear of high, open ceilings. I get dizzy and sweaty being in large open malls and high churches. Always had this as long as I can remember.

There's probably a name for it, but someone else could provide you with a good answer.

That's it.
