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.

I am new to this support group and would like to introduce myself. I guess I have a couple fairly severe phobias - at least that interfere with my life. But maybe only two. A fear of throwing up (or others doing it) and a fear of anyone finding out about my bladder problems (or having an accident in front of anyone).

I am Journaling about my sometimes crazy life in the My Journal section. Feel free to read it whenever you would like. I've written a few entries and plan on writing very frequently so you can check back often. Enjoy!

If you have any tips for me that would be great or if I can help you in anyway. You can contact me or feel free to Chat. I'll be posting my questions at a later time. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

HI HI..I m also new to this group.... I have phobia of darkness...I m quite ok at day time but when it reaches night time, i feel so unsecure and scared . Eventhough I m with my family or friends, I cant control my mind. The worst time comes when my family fall asleep. I tried to wake my sister or my mother because I cannot sleep and I feel like I cant even breathe because I m so scared of night time and the darkness. I tried to close all the windows to feel secure but I still feel unsecure and scared. Any suggestions or ideas for me....

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
