Re: My Phobia Story by Ginaz(f): 3:44pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
interesting, I don't have much phobias but the only one I have, I don't even know the name for it. I don't like visiting or you visiting me except you are a very very close friend (by close I mean we have been friends from long,maybe years) or family members. I get sweaty and panic whenever someone say they wanna visit me. ooya come and visit us na, I will not go. even if I go at the end after breaking so many promises, I won't spend up to an hour. I will get sweaty and my hands shaky till I leave. this have affected my social life so much, I don't have friends currently, only my boo. whenever I visit him, I make sure nobody will be there, I don't wanna see an ant sef. but he understands, my family too. Some people thinks I'm a show off but I don't care and I love my life cos it's not boring. someone should name my phobia cos this one pass me. 2 Likes |

OP, inasmuch I don't doubt your story,most persons on this thread confuse intense fear for phobia. To make a diagnosis of a phobia is far more than a doctor asking you some set of questions.if the doctor isn't a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist I doubt it. a phobia is more of a psychological problem that can be managed and overcome successfully with therapy. 2 Likes |

I have a phobia for heights. I don't like looking own from very tall buildings,I don't like walking/crossing deep drainages,I don't like walking over planks placed across a canal,etc. I always have the fear of falling. Sometimes,I suddenly jerk and panic when laying on my bed. What triggers that,is that I sometimes feel I'm falling from a height(even when I'm laying on my bed). I also have a phobia for large waters(beaches and lagoons). Anytime I take a journey on a ferry,I always fear I'd fall into the water. My heart only stops beating when I'm off the boat. |

Thanks for this enlightening topic. I also have the fear of hospital called nosocomephobia. I have this panic attack like I am going to faint. I always get better only when i run out of the hospital. I have never been admitted at the hospital or taken drip before. I am always scared that i would die if I stay a bit long at the hospital. But with your post google is my friend. Would find out how to overcome my worst fear. |

Pretty interesting. I don't really get to share my phobia. Luckily for me, I didn't take me long to realize I'm acrophobic. My first attack came on an elevator. I threw up the moment I got out of it and my hands became sweaty and cold all of a sudden. I had to use the stairs down. My second encounter, it almost happened... I was supposed to travel by air to Abuja for an important meeting. I clearly told the team I wouldn't go by air because I might just die before the plane touches the ground. I insisted we went by bus. Till tomorrow, anything four feet off the ground is a no-no. |

Re: My Phobia Story by Toosine: 3:53pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
Worst case of acrophobia......My own phobia is heights.Jeez, i cant even do 3 inches heels because of this morbid fear of falling down, i stay indoors when i am not on the ground floor in buildings. I can feel blood rushing to my face,nauseous and light headed whenever i look from any heights. To make matters worse, i am just 5'3 ft tall who always wear flats. |

Same with me. I remember I once asked them to stop the escalator at intercontinental bank in Victoria island,about 10yrs ago. I manged to climb it when going up but coming down was a problem. I tried my best but couldn't. They had to stop it for me to come down. Since then,I've always avoided escalators at airports,malls,and banks. I always use the lift or stairs. Joavid: 1 Like |

This is one good reason i dont watch football matches involving our national teams. I prefer to watch the replay after knowing the scoreline. That is what i call "Ballphobia" 1 Like |

I experience this a lot and it sends chills to my teeth(even if I'm not the one clinging both metals/irons together). I however,don't think it's a phobia. Probably som kinda genetic disorder. Rubyventures: |

OP Ur understood. I have a phobia for looking at tiny holes clustered together, could be shower head, grater, or tiny things like grains packed together, thing is this only occurs when I have an allergic breakout of rash on my skin which I have been managing for years, once I have so much rash this phobia is triggered, I cannot stand staring at such things, holes on any surface are the biggest culprit. Phobia can make u want2 destroy something or almost feel like killing urself, it can be insane . u just need to calm urself most times, tell urself ur not in danger and remove urself from the situation where possible. visit my blog www.yourhealthattitude.com one love 1 Like |

sumborri: I feel you oo, I have a terrible phobia for close space, you won't catch me in a lift on my own, I have climbed 16 stories building just go avoid going in lift, or sometimes I hang around for people to go in lift with and I jump out wherever folks they get out to avoid being left alone and use stairs to complete the rest, it's a really bad condition , it limits activities and fun sometimes, even in public toilet I don't close the door, just use hand hold the door , in trains or coaches I make sure I go to toilet before boarding as I won't use toilet on board cos of too ting closed space. I hear cognitive behaviour therapy can help with phobias. I once turned down a job when I got to the building and discovered I will be going in the lift , I turned back , that's how bad it is.

d33types:Bro/sis...plz don't play needless lexical-semantics on the terms: "phobia" & "intense fear".. they r 100% d same.. Phobia is an anxiety disorder that is bein triggered by INTENSE fear..(Which u inadvertently expressed alredi) when d fear dat triggers d Anxiety is bein SEVERE .dat's wen it's medically termed a phobia.. However(as I suppose u meant to say), INTENSE DISLIKE is nt always synonymous with PHOBIA... Dnt let me bother to decipher that to avoid digression..thanks 1 Like |

Throughout my stay in badagry, I dare not visit any beach nor river. The last time I took my BAE to Erin Ijesha waterfall was the pick of it, come and see an adult shedding hot tears because she wanted us to take a picture in the fall. Take me to a riverside or beach at your own peril because I might even drown at the bank. I always got this feelings of drifting into oblivion whenever I'm at waterside or even DRINKING common water o. All I know is that I am Marioking and I am Aquaphobic. Thank you. 1 Like |

Re: My Phobia Story by d33types: 5:02pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
0ubenji: the semantics is an issue here..phobia and intense fear are two different entities. intense fear is not always synonymous with phobia. unfortunately many persons do not know. example most ladies say they have phobia for cockroaches when in reality what they have is just a deep general dislike. intense fear/diskile is a subset of phobia but not necessarily the other way round. fear can be managed by flooding(I'm sure you understand flooding is) but flooding may worsen phobia if not done properly. going through this thread you see the misconception between fear and phobia. imagine somebody talking about brokeophobia..it's a very serious matter that some people downplay. |

I am very claustrophobic. It is so bad that reading the word makes my heart beat faster. Watching a movie and seeing someone locked up,removing a tight top or dress over my head,seating at the back of a coupe,it is crazy! |
