Alhamdulillah I don't have any phobias, be they insects, heights, fast cars, or even clowns. They don't scare me at all. I did have a fear of heights, but I overcame that, by the will of Allaah.

Although, shopping with women :exhausted . Pretty scary stuff.

:w:

Two. The first is clowns, but then again, that's nothing special. The world is divided into two types of people - those who are terrified of clowns and those who are clowns, so... yeah.

The second, and this is really weird, is the creaky noise that rubber makes if you try to push it into a small space. Imagine the sound of someone rubbing a balloon, or pushing a pencil eraser along a table by its flat side. Those sounds are evil.

BRINCESSSSSSS Ewwwhwhwhwhwhww :'(

And are those Eggs???

But I dont really have a 'phobia' of anything alhamdulillah (or not that I know off at least :rollseyes:) But I just get nervousness...or anxieties like how Alpha Dude said.

Some of my anxieties :

Driving with my dad when he's in an overly happy mood :offended:

Using a sharp knife, I'm always worrying I'll cut myself, but at the same time I enjoy sharp knives to use.

Talking in front of an audience.

:w:
 
I am petrified of wasps since being attacked by a nest as a child. I remember clearly also walking home at about 14 years old with a wasp on my shoulder. I walked very slowly home, hoping it would fly off. It did eventually to my immense relief.
 
^^^ hahaha ants, lol, I hate dogs i was chased by 2 yesterday, I hate seeing dead people, walking graveyards or even, seeing a coffin. I like living people most of us get a long just fine
 
has anyone here either suffered from agoraphobia, or know someone who has?
all your phobias are minor compared to this crippling phobia. this one is an actual mental illness.
i suffered from this as a young adult. i overcame it on my own but it was a long haul and there are still a few minor remnants even now.
believe me it is no picnic.
other than that Biggie, i am fine with all kinds little phobias - i really don't have any that i can think of. i guess i go for the Big Stuff. :giggling:

I looked it up because i wasnt sure what it was, so for everyone else who doesnt know either....heres what it is

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder which primarily consists of the fear of experiencing a difficult or embarrassing situation from which the sufferer cannot escape.

People with agoraphobia may experience panic attacks in situations where they feel trapped, insecure, out of control, or too far from their personal comfort zone. In severe cases, an agoraphobic may be confined not only to their home, but to one or two rooms, and they may even become bed-bound, or a recluse.

The medical diagnosis, however, is not a consciously mild presentation of fear or embarrassment; agoraphobic attacks may occur during deep sleep. Adrenaline is released[citation needed] in large amounts for several minutes causing the classical "fight or flight" condition. Although each attack is short in duration, with agoraphobics the attacks come in waves lasting for hours or even days[citation needed]. During the attacks the patient is debilitated, experiences a loss of identity (detached from reality), and is unable to leave the home[citation needed]. The patient may take refuge in a corner, on the bed, or pace the halls for hours. This condition requires medical intervention. If the patient is without medication he or she must be taken to a hospital or paramedics must be called to come to the home, otherwise secondary existing medical conditions may manifest (such as autoimmune flare-ups). Often, during attacks, the patient will refuse to leave the home and will be unable to recognize family members. Agoraphobia is a disease of the brain stem of various etiologies: drug abuse, alcoholism, genetics, inflammatory disease, among others.[citation needed]

Agoraphobia sufferers are often extremely sensitized to their own bodily sensations, subconsciously over-reacting to perfectly normal events. For example, the exertion involved in climbing a flight of stairs may trigger a full-blown panic attack, because it increases the heartbeat and breathing rate, which the agoraphobic interprets as the start of a panic attack instead of a normal fluctuation.

I suffered from some of that as a preteen. Not to such a grave extent.....Like i wouldnt fear leaving the house, but i wouldnt leave and i wouldnt leave my room either. Not because i feared it just because i didnt want to, i hated everything and i thought everyone was so cruel yada yada. This part:

SubhanAllah, that is exactly how i felt. I hateeeeeeeeed! the thought of being embarrased....i could NEVER give oral presentations in school....i coudlnt even stand in front of people for too long before i wanted to cry or before i would totally shut everything out and wouldnt even respond to someone talking to me.

It got so bad that i had to be taken out of regular school, because i simply couldnt deal. I was a shell within myself. I wouldnt talk much, i wouldnt eat at all for days. Wow thinking back on that is pretty scary, its crazy how you can develope illnesses and dont even know it until its happened.

I use to have panic attacks all the time i was on meds for that. And then the 'illnesses' poured in. Because of my shutting down due to fear of embarrassing situations and people at whole, i wouldnt eat, and naturally i developed eating disorders....YEP the list goes on. I think at one time i was afriad of food. Honestly. I was afriad of people and I hated the 'cruel, heartless' world.

Al Hamdulillah for the most part , most of those phobias are gone. But i still hate being the center of attention....i shut down at the thought of being embarrased or whatever....just not AS bad as before....hmm, something to still consider i'd say....anyhow im done:p

oh wait and i hated small spaces at the same time.....i would freak in elevators and the thought of drowning or suffercating was deathly scary to me.

:peace:
