do you have any phobias? (fear of something)

[noodleroo]

I've had phobias my whole life. When I was really young, I didn't know what panic attacks were and thought there was really something wrong with me. My mother had them, too. My first one was that I couldn't be in a building with a high ceiling like a gymnasium. I felt completely off balance, almost like I was going to 'fall up'. That one was replaced with the fear of driving over bridges in my early 20's. I'm not afraid of heights or most things that totally freak people out, just bridges these days. I've tried meds., hypnosis, books, behavior therapy-nothing has worked. The bridge thing is totally life altering. If I have to go somewhere that requires driving by myself over a bridge, I either have to find someone to drive me or I can't go. Big bridge, little bridge, overpass; can't do it. I guess that's just how it is for me....

I am afraid of heights! I can climb up any mountain ridge or range, but when it comes time to come down, my feet are cemented to the ground, I become paralyzed and over run with fear. I remember one time staying at a hotel on the 32nd story, I couldnt even walk out on the balcony, I had to crawl out there and crawl back in. So shame. By the way, if you are afraid of heights, dont ever go zip lining unless your going more than 60 mph. I help up the whole group 3x on the line, standing there crying like a big baby, thank goodness nobody there knew me.

Ever since I got double vision, I'm afraid of heights. I'll still get on the barn for repairs, or the roof of a new coop going up, but I sure hate it.

KETCHUP!!! i have a horrible phobia of ketchup, and mustard well codiments in general but ketchup is the worst. and it is EVERYWHERE

my family eats it and i can not be in the same room with it. when they put it in the fridge it is wraped in a paperbag and hidden behind everything because i can't open the fridge if i am going to see it. you should see me in resturants.

I used to be TERRIFIED of raccoons! lol, but then I thought theywere cute and fuzzy. Then annoying cause they got into the garbage. Then it was, "You %@*&$! coons, get outta here before I kill you!" when they ate my favorite pullet.
