Glad I’m not alone! I hear all sorts of weird noises whenever I’m alone and I just freak myself out. Don’t think I could cope living opposite the woods 😂
It is creepy at night and we have creaky floorboards that creak when they feel like it I used to work late shift till 11pm and my hubby hated being in the house alone.
It also doesn't help that our neighbour wears a boiler suite out in the garden alot micheal myers style 😆

Jesus! That wouldn’t half get my imagination going! 🤣
 
Stairs, throughout the day if I am upstairs I go over and over in my head how I am going to walk down the stairs. I have never fallen down the stairs but I have a constant fear I will fall and die 🙈

I know no one likes bad smells but I have a phobia of them. For example, if I even think something might smell bad I start heaving and often throw up.

thank you 💙

and you’re exactly right. when i tell people i have ocd they automatically assume i’m super clean and have lots of routines before leaving the house etc, but i always try to explain it people like it’s obsessive compulsive - the compulsions are the cleaning, the routines and the obsessions are the intrusive thoughts. a lot of people, like me, have one but not the other. there’s so many layers to it that people just don’t realise.
I think I may have this. Thanks it's making me wonder if I should see someone about it
 
Celery. The smell, the crunch everything. I cant bear it anywhere near me.
Polystyrene and worms too.

I used to stick my fingers in the drain on the floor of my local swimming pool when I was younger 😅.

Mine is getting sucked into an aeroplane toilet if I flushed while still sitting on it.

Pylons. I think there was some sort of advert on the TV when I was a kid and the pylons were walking? Hated them ever since.

I also have this weird fear about hitting a brick when I’m driving…

Also have nightmares that a plague of wasps will invade my bedroom in the night in summer…

Driving on a motorway or running over someone in my car. I have been known to go back and double check.

Someone breaking into my house and murdering me (made worse recently by the Idaho murders) I also don't like having my back turned on an open door. Iv always felt like someone could come behind me and either stab me or hit me over the head.

I get really anxious walking around places like ikea and costoco- but the parts where the stock is piled high, as I keep worrying something will fall down and crush me or my little boy (got worse since becoming a mum)

Being near Windows at night without a curtain/ blind. I hate the feeling that someone could see me but I can't see them.

Reading this back.....think iv got problems! 🤣🤣🤣

Couldn’t sleep without curtains or blinds. Often in Scandinoir tv series, or modern city apartments - all the exposed glass! Must be horrendous in the morning, especially with a hangover.

Driving along in summer with the windows down and a bird flying through the car. Before I got a car with AC I would be very warm driving anywhere in summer due to the fear of opening the window.

Ladders in swimming pools. Not irrational I know this stems from an episode of I think casualty where someone slipped on one and snapped their leg in two but know I panic seeing anyone use them and can’t use them myself at all. I’d rather look like a seal trying to push myself up on to the side.

I’m like this, but with wasps & bees. I was driving out a car park once and heard a “buzzz” in my ear… I slammed the car onto the spaces bit, ripped on the brake and virtually barrel rolled out my car door 😂😂

I've had a moth attack me mid drive, it just rose up out of nowhere and went for my face 😭 luckily it was a straight bit of road with no other traffic!
