Common phobias


12 years ago 0 30 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
My fear is fear of illness particularly serious mental illness.  I worry that my anxiety is something more serious as today I am feeling a little out of it.  I have just come back from work and I feel that part of my brain is missing still.  I have been training someone this afternoon and I feel quite tired.  Does anyone else sometimes feel like part of their brain is missing (Mine is my left side). Hope you are getting on OK Debora by the way.

Boy do I understand this one.

I am afraid of Doctors and medical procedures and dentists. Being alone all night, illness and dying, and going out in sunlight.

Fear of social interactions:
I find a lot of reasons to be alone.  Some of it's related to my core feelings of being unworthy, unlovable  and incompetent,  all re-enforced at my last job in a negative environment.
 
Now I don't have the luxury of a phobia since I don't even have the time to socialize, and it makes my life more miserable.  I suppose I'm angry at the situation.
 
I try to start a thread daily, and that's giving me some experience in initiating, since it simulates fear of rejection in social interaction.
