Answer 3

YOU DON"T KNOW!!!! I am a walked phobia!! I am terrified of the jolly green giant!! Uhhh if I go to the grocery store, I will not look at the shelves because I know he is on them!!! I am horrified of peter pan!! Ugh he is so evil!!! Everyone laughs at me but he is, he is so evil!! Then ohhhhh I am so afraid of balloons!! Ugh I hate balloons, I see them and I have to get away from them!! Ugh they make me cry and everything! And monkeys!! I am...uh... monkeys!!! they are so... scary!!! I can barely watch tv shows with them in it!! I am terrified of roller coasters thanks to that movie. I am afriad of big spaces, and small spaces, when I go to the beach or in an open space, I have to look down and try not to think about it or i'll have a panic attack. Small spaces, I cant even go in some offices because they are too small!!! I am horrified! absolutely horrified of daddy long legs, i love bugs and spiders, but these things are ridiculous!! They are so scary!! I am terrified of blood. I am a germaphobe!!! But when I have to go some where to like calm down from a panic attack, it is the bathroom, but I won't touch anything. I am terrified for time to stop, I feel like a black hole is going to like open and we are all going to die from time stopping even though time is a measuremnt so truly it is nothing, but I hope you get what I mean. I have a fear of being pregnant because I a afraid to have a miscarraige. I can't sleep with my feet over the bed, or body out the covers, I feel like something will get me I hate feet, I won't touch anyones feet but my own, not even their shoes, no no for me.I can't, which is the worst of all, is look at my body. I, I, just cant! It is so, iww. I mean when I  have to look at it I do for like health class and all, but not when I dress or shower, no no. I hate the veines and the other things  like the blue and red lines that show and the bones and all those other things that freak me out. I will not feel for my pusle, that truly freaks me out. or anyone elses, ugh it is just iwww. I won't look at my body, I like to look at the tips of my fingers though, but only the tips, and the front of the tips only! the other side has those blue things!! I can do that! I am so living with this. I don't know what to do. I can sorta function like a normal person, not always though. I do nothing ot manage them, for me, I just feel it is who I am. I just do it! I can get over balloons though. I have to have a good reason though. I was playing with my baby cousin and she bought me a balloon to play with (she was learning sharing) and of course I could not freak out on her so I took it! I cried later though!! Ugh balloons!! Everything else is just there to haunt me everyday.

I'm not real comfortable in real tight spaces, like anything that would make me feel trapped. I try to avoid them. But if I go canyoning and I have to squeeze thru a small opening or something in the rocks, I just do it REALLY fast and I don't think about it :-)

Answer 5

I have a phobia of not being able to protect my children from this insane world. My way of managing it is to have a melt down in the middle of the night once a week. If I do this I am able to handle it during the rest of the week.

What I mean by meltdown is that I usually have waking nightmares about something happening and I come out of it bawling my brains out. Then I just go hold my little ones for a few minutes just to make sure they are safe.

Answer 8

I'm scared of several things.... but I wouldn't call them phobias. I guess I just can manage them, but I don't know how I do that. Some people say that if you face your fears you can defeat them.

Okay, everyones scared of ghosts. But you grow out of the fear and learn to deal with it. I haven't since I was a toddler. But I honestly cannot be in a room alone. The thing is, the logical part of my brain tells me they don't exist, but its just like the paranoia is excruciating.

I don't really manage them, I just always keep a person nearby, except for in the bathroom. But I sorta FLY outta there when I'm finished whizzing. If I can concentrate on something else, I completely zone out the phobia. But thats just for Plasmaphobia or something.

One of the ways to manage with phobias is IDENTIFYING with it, you can use the fear as an advantage to learn more about it. WHY are you scared of the dark? Because you don't know whats lurking within it. Why are you scared of spiders? Because it could be you had a lasting impression ABOUT spiders.

Then once you understand your fear, you can learn to cope with it and point your mind in the right direction, just by thinking a different way. Then you must face your fears.

I am yet to understand my fear of spirits. People keep saying its the "fear of the unknown", but for me its not.
