I guess it's heights or a fear of falling from such a height. Not bad enough that I won't drive up a cliff, but I have these awful thoughts of falling the whole time and I feel like I'm holding my breath and clutching the stirring wheel.
My friends Mom has to put a blanket over her head when going to Yosemite because it's so steep and winding up to the top.
I did work with a guy who went off a 50 ft cliff in Tahoe and died. That hasn't help with my fear.
I also had a strong phobia of funerals. My Mom died when I was nine and it wasn't until the last couple years that I would go to a funeral. I think I'm getting over that one.

It is not exactly a phobia more an OCD symptom. I have this thing about numbers and when I am reading a book I can't stop on certain pages like 13, 17.19. and anything starting in a 6 I know it's weird but I can't seem to stop, I think something terrible will happen if I stop on those pages!!

Phones. I hate to make calls, I hate to receive calls. When my husband and I were first starting to go together, he had a 'big confession' to make to me. He said he has a phone phobia. I laughed so hard, and with tears in my eyes, I explained to him that I had the SAME phobia. We now own two cell phones ... we have to have them because we have serious health issues and need them to call 911. Otherwise, we don't give our phone numbers out to most people or places ... it's easier, and since we don't keep our phones on, they wouldn't even be able to leave a voice mail so why should 'they' have the number?

"Why are you asking me this question??? " LOL.
Well, I don't like anyone being too close to me. I don't like heights, is that a phobia? I can't wear clothes/jewelry that touches my throat, it feels like I'm choking just writing this. As far as I know nothing happened to me for this to occur yet it is terrible. I get a panicky feeling and I start to hyperventilate. My husband thinks it is great because he has a sure fire way of stopping an argument; pretend to touch my throat, I'm all done. I say he's mean, but I guess it works. lol

I'm cool with heights, tight spaces, spiders, public speaking. I guess I don't have an overt phobia, but I do have sometimes think about being a scuba diver whose air gets cut off... That is a paranoid fantasy that keeps me from doing scuba.

I have a phobia about geese and ducks. It's weird but i have traced it back to when my mother worked at a garage and instead of having guard dogs they had geese. Everyday they would come charging and my mum had to throw bread for them to go in a different direction. One day she had me with her and couldnt get the bread quick enough so she put me on top of the car while all these geese were going mad for the bread. Traumatised childhood i had, hahah

I'm terrified of the woods. It's just horrid to think that there's all that open space and it's so dark and scary and people find bodies in the woods all the time... oh, and if you're in the woods and there's a psycho with a knife and he stabs you and you scream, no one will hear you. Ugh. I HATE the woods. *shudder*
I'm also agoraphobic. I hate being in situations that if I need to escape from, it wouldn't be easy. I used to get nervous from sitting in traffic, because if I were to faint or throw up, I'd have to pull over and everyone would look at me... or I'd get in a car accident. I hate concerts, crowds, sporting events, lines, the heat... LoL

I have a phobia of when people eat and I can hear them crunching their food, even if their mouth is closed, also the sound of someone scratching themselves...
