Phobia Support Group
A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.

hey,
I have a strange phobia and I've never found anyone else who has this.....
I can't watch tense parts in TV programmes, whenever a situation arises where someones done something and you know they're going to get found out, or someone does something stupid, or someone is going to upset someone else I can't sit there and watch it. I have to get up and leave the room! It's really getting to me, coz I can't watch tv progs or films I really love and it's affecting my relationship with my boyfriend!
I feel really stupid and alone, my parents tell me i'm strange and even the doctor laughed when I told him.
I can't get any treatment for it coz the only available treatment is cbt and it's not available on the nhs and it will cost me 100 a session - I just don't have that kind of money :-(

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
yeah, i've tried making myself sit there, it drives my boyfriend insane!!!! :-(
I think it might be linked to my incredibly low self esteem!
