Snakes, air planes, submarines, closed in places. MRI machines. Can't watch shows where people are in caves. Gives me the fits.

When i go to Big city and drive on busy Freeway and have to get on from a sid road, I don't think it is clear for me to get on and I am afraid the oncomers will not get over. It is scarey for me. don't like it. Once I am on I am fine.

Is there a phobia for being afraid that any and all visitors will try to steal your stash? If so I have that one.

Oh I forgot to mention that I don't like driving in tunnels or on bridges over large bodies of water. I also don't like holding or shaking hands. My hands sweat just thinking about all of the above.

Pyrophobia - fear of fire. After many years of therapy, medications, hypnosis, I still have it. I hate candles on birthday cakes, cannot even hold a lighter or book of matches without a full blown anxiety attack. I'm the crazy lady in a restaurant making dh blow out the little tea light at the table. Forth of July fireworks (okay from many miles away), but definately NO sparklers. Cannot live in a house with gas as pilot lights freak me out. I even freak out at the smell of something burning or sight of what appears to be smoke (cauterizing during my c-section, dry drilling at the dentist). I had to take days off work when the buildings fire alarm was being worked on. The first 2 times the alarm went off, I had a panic attack and passed out. I'm sure that one of these days I will be caught in a storm without power and die of hypothermia, sitting on a pile of firewood!

Fleas: I had to sale my house and took a lost on it. I fought fleas in that preowned house for over 2 years. It had make me sick. Since I overreact if I see one..I don't even want to think about bed bugs..I always kept my house so clean..I love my dog very much but he has his bath every 2 weeks and I use Frontline..it gives me a peace of mind

Ho ho! Lovebug....... I'm with you on that one. I HAVE to have my back to the wall or I can barely eat. Glad there's another like me out there! LOL

Seeing anyone kiss a baby or small child on the lips. Turns my stomach!
