I have a couple wierd ones. For instance if I think something is dirty and I just took a shower, i cannot touch it or I get freaked out. I also have a really really big fear of appendicitis. whenever I get a pain in my stomach I get freaked out and think I'm going to die. i think about it whenever I go on long trips/airplanes etc.
