💀 What's your phobia, and how serious is it? 💀

I've had arachnophobia all my life, but it hasn't gotten that serious until recently. Before, I might just get shivers or feel creeped out when I see spiders. But now, my body instantly goes into panic/survival mode and I lose control. I'd shake and cry uncontrollably and it would take me a while to really calm down afterwards... :cry:

 

Do you have a specific phobia(s)? How bad is it?

Nyctophobia. Aka fear of darkness. When i was little i used to put my hand on the light button before entering any dark room and turn my head the other way to not look into it. Like wiki says "It is triggered by the brain’s disfigured perception of what would, or could, happen when in a dark environment." So it's like not even the dark itself but more what's (or what's not) in it. For some reason my mind leads me to think there could be something/someone that will attack me. It isn't that bad now, it got better with time but sometimes, especially when i'm alone, i still get really scared.

Cuprolaminophobia - a fear of coins.

 

I used to have panic attacks when I got handed any copper coin. Sometimes i'd throw up. I still get a panic attack when i'm given them in a shop and I always throw them on the floor as soon as I leave, but at least I don't throw up anymore.

Mild phobia of cockroaches,spiders, basically a phobia of phylum arthropoda. When I was young, I would flee the place screaming when I see them coming towards me. But now I don't even care. I'm in the med school and hoping to major in psychology so me and my classmates held a small discussion about our not so serious phobias and how to controll them. Solution to me was touching insects, and it was not that bad when the others helped me out. Now I'm perfectly okay :)

I have arachnophobia. If there is a spider in my room, I will move to another room to sleep until it moves out of my room, and if it's hanging out front outside my front door and I need to go somewhere, I'll go out the back door instead. Don't even talk to me about finding spiders in bathtubs. Seeing pictures of spiders also creep the hell out of me, and I've literally ripped out pages containing spiders in my biology books when I was in school (I bought them, btw, so it wasn't like I was destroying school property) just so I wouldn't have to see them. And one time there was a spider hanging out in the middle of the kitchen (I don't even know how, but it made a giant web), and I refused to step foot inside there or get anything to eat until my mother came home and got rid of it.

 

I also have a phobia of driving, which is why I don't have a driver's license and don't plan on getting anytime soon (or ever. I'll just be like my grandma lol). Oh, and bugs, too, especially cockroaches and any bugs with a gazillion legs (looking at you, centipedes and millipedes). I will literally scream if I see them scaling walls.
