Do you have an unexplainable fear of something bizarre...such as nails scratched down a blackboard, the touch of cotton wool or the good old terrified of spiders..
I have received as a gift a day at a Health farm....
Can I go thinking ...no,no,no....been once before. What is my fear? They escoted me to a little cubicle handed me a pair of paper knickers and a robe that looked more like a hospital gown and then as I piled all my clothes I had been wearing up they whipped them away before I could blink. I was then handed a form to pick so many treatments and when I asked for some to be explained my eyes began to water as they described what can be done with tubes and suction...I kept thinking if the fire bell goes I am stood in the freezing, wet, cold Tundra of Scotland in paper knickers...

sxc666: I have the biggest fear of opening blinds or curtains when it is dark. I always think someones face is going to be planted up against the window
morgan5: Any rodent with a tail, hamsters fine, no problem.
If a rat,gerbil,mouse is near me i completely freak!
I had the same fear till the day a kid brought in Robbie the Rat (sorry Robbie but that is what the kid called it) and it was the most gentle, tame loving thing. Liked to have a shampoo and then would let the kids blow dry it....
Thankfully I have no unusual fears or phobias....but i know someone who suffers from Agrophobia, and I came to know how debilitating such phobias can be...
Description Agoraphobia is just one type of phobia, or irrational fear. People with phobias feel dread or panic when they face certain objects, situations, or activities. People with agoraphobia frequently also experience panic attacks, but panic attacks, or panic disorder, are not a requirement for a diagnosis of agoraphobia. The defining feature of agoraphobia is anxiety about being in places from which escape might be embarrasing or difficult, or in which help might be unavailable. The person suffering from agoraphobia usually avoids the anxiety-provoking situation and may become totally housebound.
