perhaps i am the only one, but i have an intense and overwhelming fear of Feet. Yes, feet. I cant stand anything other than my own shoes or socks touching my feet, and i under NO circumstances will ever come into contact with anyone elses feet, i dont even think i could touch my own childrens feet if i was to ever have any. I just couldnt.

I had to have a minor surgery done to my foot once and they had to knock me out to do it, because i just couldnt bare the thought. Even now, thinking about it my stomach is twisted like a tight knot.

So yeah, thats my wierdest, i think. But im also scared of pork, which is strange because i can quite happily eat bacon, and there is no religious or taste reason why i cant eat pork, but i just cannot bring myself to do it.

I am also scared of even numbers, but i think thats more of an OCD tendency or something. I get anxious if things are evenly numbered.

Aside from those, the other one is pretty common - arachniphobia.

I wonder if there is a name for my overwhelming fear of feet , or maybe im the only person in the universe to be scared of them.

would you lok at that, its called podophobia. How strange that there is more than one person who is petrified of feet

You know whats funny? When you were talking about your toilet phobia I thought you were going to have the same one as me...but mine is weirder than yorus I think...I'm afriaid of something bad happening when a toilet flushes, like it's the trigger of some evil shit to happen while it's going on. I mean it makes me panic when I flush public toilets and I get an adreniline rush and as soon as Im out of the enclosed space I'm feeling soooo much better. It's screwed up..

I was thinking about this post last night and i realised my mum has a wierd phobia as well. She is absolutely petrified of ditches. Like to ones on the side of the road or the culvets along the road. Or even just a little ditch in the middle of a park or anwhere. She freezes if she gets too close to them and just CANNOT move. If we are driving along, and there is a ditch on the side of the road (and it doesnt even really have to be a real ditch, even a slope on the side of the road) and she will freak out. If i am driving i have to move as close to the centre of the road as is leagl, and even then she often has a panic attack.

So yeah, theres another wierd one, a fear of ditches.

I have to say I do have a few phobia's. Mine are food due to being very sick yrs ago,meds, Heights and just getting sick. Juat always remember your never alone. I wish the I didn't have to food one and the med on but I keep trying towork onthem each day. Hope your week goes ok. Diane

Appendicitis. seeing "signs" of bad things ex. giving a cracked plate to my dad to use for dinner means someting bad will happen to him.
touching things that might make me "dirty" after I have showered.

I have a terrible phobia. I have had it for many years. When I was a child my parents owned a pet store. The store was connected to the house. I went to bed one night, as usual. I woke up screaming and terrified. There were mice from the store in my bed. They were biting me and not running away like mice usually do. I am in my thirties and still panic if I see one. I jump on tables and won't sit on the floor. I have panic attacks. My husband thought he saw one tonight and I am petrified to even fo to my bedroom. I honestly need some kind of help. I found this site and was hopeful.

I don't think it's that unusual but I have a phobia of clowns. It's that bad that typing this is making me feel sick!
I also have a phobia open doors.. Any room I'm in has to have all the doors shut tight, not just pushed too.

Panphobia. Which is the fear of everything. I fear being followed and feel like someone's always behind me.....

phobia of sleep~ terrified of sleeping
