I have trypophobia - the fear of small clusters of holes. Makes my skin crawl to even think about it
Also having to dry wet wooden spoons is a hard nope. Oh god, even thinking about the sensation makes me shudder ![Weary face :weary: 😩](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f629.png)

This happened to me once but with coffee. Didn't drink anything but water for a while after thatDrinking a cup of tea and finding a spider in it.![]()
I have this and I also have to sleep with the duvet over me otherwise I think ghosts will touch me in the nightI’ll be in bed at night and I’ll hang my leg out the duvet over the edge of the bed and something in my brain tells me a hand is going to grab my leg from underneath the bed. So I have to quickly put my leg back under the cover![]()
I had this once. I actually locked the door and someone tried to open it but obviously it didn't open. She then went to get a member of staff who had the key and he unlocked the door whilst I was sitting on the looSomeone opening the door while I'm on a public toilet. I always give it a little push/pull to check it's locked even though I just locked it![]()
Oh my God, I used to have a fear of maggots...My ex boyfriend left live maggots in my
Fridge once that he planned on using as fish bait, he didn’t put the lid on properly to the tub and I woke up the next day to my fridge full of maggots having a party![]()
If I buy something from the supermarket that always beeps specifically clothes/homeware I tell the security guard that I'm going to beep on my way out. I then smugly glide through the alarms knowing "I'm alright I've paid and I've got security guards blessing"I will beep when leaving the shop when I know I've paid.
I get this, they are called intrusive thoughts. I went on a cliff walk once and was worried I'd jump offI’m petrified of heights and water. But I have an irrational fear that I’m going to throw myself or my belongings off the edge. I live near water and there’s a popular walk around the river, I have to walk pressed against the wall as far away as possible, hold on to my boyfriend and he has to take all of my things off of me, I can’t even have my phone in my pocket.
There’s been times he has taken his own phone out and I’ve been so scared I was gonna bat it out his hand in to the water
I don’t know why I would ever throw anything or myself over but I honestly crawl up inside myself at the thought and urge that I’m going to do it![]()
OH MY GOD I have this exact fear about my house falling down i limit my possessions so the house isn’t too heavy an get anxious when my sister brings big suitcases home! I didn’t take a bath for ages for fear of the weight of it too!! XxI get severe anxiety attacks about collapsing floors. It can be triggered by people jumping around on a slightly bouncy creaky floor or going over a bridge in a heavily loaded car. I have been given numerous talks on how buildings are engineered and how unlikely collapse is but in the midst of an attack it doesn’t help. I find taking baths an ordeal because of it too.
what does help enormously is a trick someone told me that helps ‘ground’ you in reality. You think of 5 things you can see, 4 you can hear, imagine the feel of 3 things, the smell of 2 and by the end your mind has been completely taken away from the panic.
