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 know everyone has some kind of strange fear. I'm open with mine and I'm OK with what people say. I have tonsurephobia A.K.A. fear of F***ING haircuts. I can't stand them and if you force me to, you may lose fingers due to my teeth. Or I will just cry and scream till your ears bleed, lol, i'm a bad little kid. So what are some other wierd phobias?

I have a phobia that everytime I hear an airplane passing over my house, I fear it will crash into my house, lol. Weird, I know, lol... I literally stop breathing until it passes. And lucky me, I live by the airport.

Mine's zombies. Everytime I hear a noise or see something out of the corner of my eye I lose my breath. I guess we should all take comfort in the fact that the majority of phobias are weird.

I have a phobia of the dark.. I'm terrified to be in the dark. I can't even sleep in it and when I'm in the dark I feel trapt and I can't breathe. I'm almost 18 and I still can't stand to be in the dark, I guess I never grew out of it..

You know the being in the dark, I never really thought much of it until I realized I am def. afraid of the dark. It's not a phobia for me but I def. don't like it. Another thing im deathly afraid of is thunderstorms and lightning. Wonder how many people have that...

I'm afraid of Thunderstorms as well, Bettie. Scare me half to death and I hide out in my basement watching the weather channel till it passes. I even have a thunderstorm kit that has shoes, blanket, flashlight, batteries, etc. in it. I also am afraid of being blind. I once lost my vision because I was dehydrated and it was the scariest f-in thing I've ever gone through.

this is a really dumb fear that was alot worse for me when i was a kid, but i'm afraid of hurting stuffed animals feelings. (i am not joking!) when i was little, i would alternate my stuffed animals everynight, so none of them would get sad or feel left out. and now that i'm almost 18, even though i tell myself how dumb it is, sometimes i still worry that i might hurt one of my stuffed animals. (is this even a phobia??)

I'm deathly afraid of being alone or all by myself...I have a total panic attack or go crazy when I am. I constantly have friends over, but they don't realize that the real reason for them is that I'm afraid of being alone.

I'm afraid of the dark. Mostly I'm afraid of being alone in the dark. If I have my dog, I'm just fine but if I'm totally alone then I start to freak out.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
