Re: Phobia
 

I can't even read about heights without my stomach turning. The very thought turns me sick. I walk along balconies hugging the wall. A couple of years ago on Lord Mayor's day, we went to a party at our friends' flat in the Barbican - 25th floor of the Shakespeare Tower. Did I go out onto the balcony to watch the fireworks? Too damn right, I didn't. I hung onto the balcony doorpost, trying not to even think about the drop. It's making me feel sick just writing about it ....... phobic or what?

Oh, and snakes.

Rats and mice terrify me, so much so that I can't even see them on t.v. without heaving! So those 'clean up' programmes are out for me.

At least it will be warm and not bloody freezing like being in the ground

Daddy-long-legs. :eek: It's childish, it's irrational, but if one comes into the room - I go out, they make me feel physically sick. Only half a tin of fly-spray and a rolled up newspaper makes me feel any better.

Also, can't stand pitch blackness. The tiniest pin-prick of light is fine but total dark freaks me, I feel like I can't breathe.

Cockroaches ... Yuk. Thank Gawd never seen any at this house, saw plenty when I lived in Barnes Street. Even ex. did not like, particularly when he came down in bare feet in the middle of the night, in the dark and heard this horrible crunching under his feet :eek:

Mice: Well, not too bad really, until they knocked quite a lot of the houses down in Lower Barnes Street, and population migrated up to the upper. Tried traps, etc. Wasn't bothered til daughter woke up crying, they were actually getting on her bed and chewing her hair ! Ex got out air-rifle and bagged a couple. Finally, borrowed friend's cat and that cured 'em.

Buried alive: Yes, what a horrible thought, only movie I ever walked out of was an Edgar Allen Poe Movie, whereby his victims suffered from catalepsy and thought to be dead; they were consequently buried but then they woke up and were found with all their nails ripped off trying to scratch their way out ... Aaaagh, perish the thought. Manicures cost a fortune. :eek:

Re: Phobia
 

I know G-C ... you don't really want to watch do you? but hard to turn away .. maybe good to be scared of something, puts all the good things in perspective.

Re: Phobia
 

Dentists....I would say I am bordering on phobic about dentists.....just thinking about them gives me the collywobbles.

Re: Phobia
 

Tee hee Margaret ... strange how these highly qualified nurses have phobias about the treatments they inflict on other people.

Spiders and heights. Me and ginger once took the kids up Blackpool Tower. He thought it was funny to take the kids on the " walk of faith " all I remember was shouting very loudly " you kill yourself you B"""rd, but leave my kids out of it" grabbing there hands and walking off, which Ginger thought was hilarious. Then I turned round and saw a baby crawling on the glass with it's little dummy in it's mouth, I remember shouting something awful to that babies dad too lol. My stomach just seems to jump into my throat and I feel sick and dizzy.

Spiders, well i have had that phobia since I can remember. When I was younger I used to roll a quilt up and stuff it down the side of the bed so that no spiders could crawl up the wall onto my bed at night. My phobia is mostly insects in my ears, nose or mouth. That stems from watching a Documentary where a spider had crawled into this ladies ear and it had been there months. She thought she had a ear infection, when really the spider had made a web round her Ear drum.
