Fear of the future everybody is talking about

By Reader Leave a Comment

It started when I turned 18 when I met a friend that has beliefs. This won't be detailed, but she told me about everything horrible that this world would turn into, from what their religion has been telling them. I started to feel like I had a phobia about the future or what this world would turn into. Now, it's 2022, I'm already 24, and this "phobia" started to grow … [Read more...]

Living With Agyrophobia

By Reader Leave a Comment

I'm 21 years old, and I live with Agyrophobia or the fear that crossing a road will result in bodily harm, as well as PTSD. It started when I was about 16 years old and was hit by a driver who was blind in one eye while crossing the street. I was crossing legally at a crosswalk after the car had already stopped at the stop sign. But they were blind in one eye and turning … [Read more...]

Me and Birds

By Reader Leave a Comment

I am a secret sufferer of Ornithophobia - the fear of birds, but I recently came to know about it. I am still researching it, trying to gather as much information as possible to cope with it for the next years of my life. So as mentioned before, I have Ornithophobia. I may not say it is medically claimed by a professional, but I get panicked and have a racing heartbeat … [Read more...]

Does Anyone Know My Phobia?

By Reader 1 Comment

When I was about 5, I got really sick with a fever. My mom gave me some medicine, I can’t remember exactly what it was, but it was strong, and unknown to her. I hadn’t eaten anything prior to taking the medication and it really messed me up. Shortly after taking the medicine, I started getting hallucinations. I don’t remember all of them, but the one that is still crystal … [Read more...]

I don’t know what phobia(s) I have

By Reader 3 Comments

Hello, I'm a teen girl who has multiple phobias. I didn't really notice the first one until two years after the incident that caused it. I won't say much but let's just say that I had the window open at night, and I saw a murderer (not in action, just the person). That was when I was 8. I guess at that age you're just too innocent, and things don't psychologically affect … [Read more...]

I am 20 years old and have intense fears of normal social things

By Reader 4 Comments

Hello readers. I hope I don't come off as complaining, my life has been nothing but filled with love from my family. I just have issues I want to get off my chest, but I become disheartened to change because I feel like at 20 years old I have no one to relate to. I am a 20 year old junior in community college who has not gone out much. It is funny because as a child I used … [Read more...]

The Worst Past Memories

By Reader Leave a Comment

I was twelve years old since I hated the word memories. I hated taking pictures with my friends and even with my family. I don't know if it's normal or what. Then I started withdrawing with my friends who are involved with that past memory. Later on I started having nightmares, popping in and out of that worst memory, then I cry a lot, I have mood swings, and sometimes I … [Read more...]

Looking for an answer

By Reader 1 Comment

Hello! I’m a sixteen year old teen girl who has recently entered the world of phobias. It has been very helpful for me to understand what phobias I have. Talking with other people that have them and learning how to avoid triggering them has kinda been my quarantine pastime. I have found out that I have mild Trypophobia (holes) and extreme Submechanophobia (hard to explain, … [Read more...]

Multiple Fears

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hallo world. I’m a teen with a decent amount of phobias. It started with ailurophobia, or fear of cats. That one is really mild, so I don’t mind it. It’s kind of funny, actually. It doesn’t really bother me, and I even cat sitted for my friend a month ago or so. It’s just that cats freak me out lol. I’m okay with that phobia, it’s just part of me. That was back in 5th … [Read more...]

Teenager: Afraid of Mostly All Relationships

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hello, my name is Mia. I experience Aphenphosmphobia and Philophobia (Fear of Touch/Intimacy and Love). I used to be super depressed from the ages of 8-13. The reason for this was because I was bullied and also bullied others, mostly my best friend. I used to hate seeing her smile, which she rarely did, and told her that I would kill her once she hit 16, making every day … [Read more...]

I can’t find what my phobia is called

By Reader 1 Comment

Hi, I wrote another post on here about my social anxiety (medically diagnosed) but you probably didn't see that so I'll go over who I am. I am a 15 y/o high school freshman and I don't know if a name for my phobia exists yet. I have an extreme fear of large metal things in my mouth. If you've been to an orthodontist and they took a mould of your jaw with that nasty putty, … [Read more...]

My struggle with social anxiety and depression

By Reader Leave a Comment

Hi, so I'm just about to turn 15 and am a freshman in high school. I know it's going to sound like I'm self-diagnosing and I'm just a teen who is being dramatic, but I'm really not. The first part of this post is going to be about my social anxiety. I have an unrealistic and crippling fear of being judged, unaccepted, betrayed and people leaving me. I have been to a … [Read more...]

My phobia is Sedatephobia, also known as the fear of silence. It has effected all of my high school classes in which I feel like throwing up every hour.

My name is Alicia Daly and I live in county Cork, in Ireland. I am eleven years old and I suffer from foniasophobia, which is the constant fear of being murdered.
