Just looking at all those freaking spiders gives me the Willies! I don't like anything that I can't see it's mouth
when it's around me. Got bit by a tiny little red spider once that hurt like hell! I looked at it while it was biting me
and couldln't believe that little red sucker was the source of all that pain.

spiders crawling on any part of me really. SVU not necessary.

They seem so fast and sinister…



Even though you could kill them really easily. Not a rational phobia…

List of top 20 phobias in order-

1. Arachnophobia – The fear of spiders affects women four times more (48% women and 12% men).
2. Ophidiophobia – The fear of snakes. Phobics avoid certain cities because they have more snakes.
3. Acrophobia – The fear of heights. Five percent of the general population suffer from this phobia.
4. Agoraphobia – The fear of open or crowded spaces. People with this fear often wont leave home.
5. Cynophobia – The fear of dogs. This includes everything from small Poodles to large Great Danes.
6. Astraphobia – The fear of thunder/lightning AKA Brontophobia, Tonitrophobia, Ceraunophobia.
7. Claustrophobia – The fear of small spaces like elevators, small rooms and other enclosed spaces.
8. Mysophobia – The fear of germs. It is also rightly termed as Germophobia or Bacterophobia.
9. Aerophobia – The fear of flying. 25 million Americans share a fear of flying.
10. Trypophobia – The fear of holes is an unusual but pretty common phobia.
11. Carcinophobia – The fear of cancer. People with this develop extreme diets.

15. Atychiphobia – The fear of failure. It is the single greatest barrier to success.
16. Ornithophobia – The fear of birds. Individuals suffering from this may only fear certain species.
17. Alektorophobia – The fear of chickens. You may have this phobia if chickens make you panic.
18. Enochlophobia – The fear of crowds is closely related to Ochlophobia and Demophobia.

How do they put a diagnosis on that...

I went to a Claims & pension exam, C&P, to get my PTSD increased from 70% to 100%. The Doc was a marine back in the day and we hit it off pretty good... I told him that I can go a month or two without leaving my property. I have acreage, so I still go outside and work.

I started by getting 70% rating 4yrs ago and I qualified for SSDI. I tried to go to college and got close to a bachelor degree before I ran out of GI Bill. I started going to Fed vocational rehab to finish my degree. I played thier games for over 6 months and they said that thier services were unfeasable for me and they did not provide college or a job. I took the letter to file for 100%. Doc said that a combination of SSDI and refusal from voc rehab were the biggest factors. It is 2 government agencies that said that I was unable to work.

I left out the part where me and doc traded war stories. He also was hit with an IED. I have been hit 3x. Shit, even our recovery mechanics got in on action!

Fear of crowds, parties and being locked out of my car and house. I'll check to make suremy keys are on my person before I shut and lock the door. Also a terrible fear of drowning.

I hate snakes...

It isn't me... I know a woman who faints if she sees a midget, dwarf, little person. I'm not trying to offend so I included the titles I think are correct. Seriously, she faints if she sees a midget. It's pretty funny to witness.

Agoraphobia is a strange one.
Mom had it bad, I have it but I have hobbies that take me out of the house regularly now.

People think its a fear of people or social situations.
It is actually about spaces.

It started making sense to me when I raised birds.
Some captive birds require a small cage,
If the cage is too big they feel insecure and become twitchy

My bedroom is like a giant warm comforter and ya`ll motherfuckers
aren't allowed in it.

That is a very interesting way to think about agoraphobia. I'll keep this in mind and try to apply it to my life. Spaces... They are an awesome thing to live in now.

I have an in-law that has had agoraphobia all her life. As a grown person she fears things like going out to get the mail out of the mailbox right in front of the house. I used to think, "What a wimp, how can a person be that way." Now I understand it to be very real and destructive in a persons life. I'm going to Europe in December for a month. I would have a very hard time without Atavan to help chill my ass down.

Living in the mountains, I have always burried a set of keys in the yard to get me inside the house in case I get locked out when it's freezing or snowing!

Kinemortophobia represents a chronic fear of zombies (threads)

BB fears dropping stuff (usually keys or credit card) down a sewer grate or the slot on the floor where the elevator joins. (Not of manholes, can walk or drive over them no problem).

Always check my keys when I step over either. No idea where that came from. Public speaking and claustrophobia round out the list.

Escalaphobia

I have never been afraid of much, at least until it was too late to run . But when I was about 17 years old I met this big ass gorilla of a woman she was about 6’4” weighing about 300# with a Marlboro hanging from her mouth, her hair uncombed like every, red curly hair , wearing a cutoff tee shirt and one tit hanging out. I think she was married all though I don’t know if it was to man or beast ….. but there she was staring at me down by the boat ramp and licking her lips like I on the menu . It put the fear of god in me , I carried a 38 cal in my pocket but I just wasn’t sure if it would be effective for self defense against her. I don’t know what kinda phobia this is but it’s real it’s fucking real. To this day I will tear doors from their hinges to keep from being trapped by a woman like that.

Not really a phobia but I seriously hope I don't die choking.

It is pseudodysphagia. It can start out as fear of choking but it can progress to fear of swallowing. I'd get a consult with a speech pathologist just to be sure you're ok.
