Answer 1

maggots and rats. What are yours? I have no desire to get over it, its a dirt/germ thing. Those yellow ratty teeth. Once when my baby was 2 weeks old and I was living in Africa I put my hand into her crib (next to my bed) and there was a giant Cane rat in her crib, I nearly had a breakdown, everyone thought it was imaginary due to me saying it was at least 18inches long and a symptom of post natal depression (which I had, but only slightly), but I ran out of the bedroom with my baby and saw it run into the bathroom. I wouldn't use my bathroom, I even went to my next door neighbors to use the loo. After about a week people believed me when they saw the metal carpet strip by the door had been almost gnawed through. It was found wedged between the wash tub and the spin dryer in my twin tub. I don't know how the maggot thing came about, but I know I was cleaning something in my Mum's stables (at the bottom of her garden) and put my hand into something and was covered (I already had an illogical fear of them) I stripped off my clothes and ran past my parents, family and friends into the house screaming and into the shower, I was 24.

Answer 2

Hmm. I suppose I have germ phobia/OCD. I wash my hands very often. I in fact got hrough phases where I wash them so much the skin on the backs of them feels like sandpaper and turns really red. I worry about germs, like touching doorknobs or things in public places. If I've touched something dirty, I will remember everything I've touched after that. Like if I touch a trashbag when I'm cleaning, then I use the broom, then the vaccuum, the next time I touch either of these things (even if it's the next day) I will remember that they are dirty and have to go wash my hands when I'm done using them. I don't eat food I've never eaten before and don't like restaurants I've never been to, since the food could be prepared improperly. This will actually cause me quite a lot of anxiety, it can even lead to a panic attack and I will therefore attempt to suggest a restaurant I am comfortable with. If someone insists on a restaurant I've never eaten at, I may decide to not go or upon going, to not eat. This can come across as being difficult or even spoiled but that is better than telling people the real reason I don't want to go or don't want to eat. The furthest I will go is saying there is nothing at that restaurant that I like. I don't like to eat food others have cooked. This can seem ungrateful or snotty, like I think no one can cook as good as I think I can but it isn't that. Again, I'd rather they think that than tell them the real reason. Because I know it's stupid. I know it's silly. I can deal with being called a ***** or a spoiled brat. It is harder to explain these persistent ideas that I know are silly, wrong and needless but still have. I NEVER eat ground meat. Perish the thought. It's been recalled so many times. I also have a thing about the time. This is going to sound really stupid but I'll say it anyway. When the time is all the same numbers, like 1:11 or 5:55, I have to make a wish. And however many numbers there are, I have to make the wish that many times. Like if it's 5:55, I have to do it 5 times. I don't watch the clock and wait or anything but if I see it, then I have to do it. It doesn't cause me any huge anxiety not to but it will bother me. It also bothers me if the number changes before I get them all out. Not a lot but a little. That's more of a compulsory thing, like singing happy birthday to myself while I wash my hands so I know I've washed them long enough. These two things could just be habit, though.
I have more issues but that's enough for today, lol.

Answer 3

I used to have a phobia for bees and wasps, due to a couple horrible multiple stingings in early childhood.

Cured, through accidental exposure therapy. Took a class at the local science museum around 6th grade -- on a field trip, we found a hive in the ground, and I was peer-pressured into also catching wasps, killing them with poison-soaked paper-towel dropped into the jar, mounting them on pins.

Now, I was showing my mom the big garden behind my building, and the beehives they bring in... my mom got nervous and asked to leave, and I was standing between two hives, bees everywhere. Just 5 years ago, the sound of the clippers at the barbershop gave me shivers!

Answer 5

CLOWNS! I have a huge fear of clowns! They just freak me out, and I have no idea why! I was planning on getting over my fear about two weeks ago, then I went to my friend's sleep-over, and we watched "Poltergeist." It was really scary, and, of course, there just HAD to be a clown in it. UGH! I wish I could get over it. It gets so annoying not to be able to walk in a Halloween store because I'm freaked out by the clown costumes.

Answer 6
