well oddly enough for as old as i am--im scared to death of the dark. I dont know what it is but i cant seem to shake it.
If i go to sleep and wake up and its pitch dark i wake up in a panic and i have to find the nearest light asap.



I'm EXACTLY THE SAME lol sunny I also fear spiders though. Not daddy long legs but I wouldn't want them crawling on me but other spiders. Even though i am a billion times bigger than them i manage to use half a tin of fly spray on them. Confused


Yes, this can be a really bad phobia. But, this one is one of the most accountable ones. Knowing the sometime leathel poison that these guys can give out is enough for anyone to fear. I do not like spiders. LOL. I also have used alot of spray in my day. You are not alone! Wink

How bout snakes? Anyone have a phobia with snakes?


You know how they say don't ever run if you see a snake well, I reckon I just about would if I saw one in the wild or in my garden. I don't mind them if they are inclosed somewhere though. Wink Another thing i am scared of is my deep fryer lol I'm always so scared of it catching on fire that i literally do not use the thing. My partner only does.


I hear ya. I do'nt even like cooking bacon but I'll do it cause there's nothin like a good ole bacon, lettace and mader sandwhich. I think it's the grease thing eh?

I have always been afraid of heights, but recently it turned into a fear of bridges, especially big ones and especially if I have to drive slowly over them (like in traffic)

I had a lot of friends and my sister who were involved in the bridge collapse we had. Now I'm a bit freaked out it. Ok, a lot freaked about it. I've started changed my routes to avoid big bridges.

I hate travelling on buses because I am terrified I will either vomit, wet myself or poo myself. It's never happened and I have no idea why I have this phobia but I have done since I was a child. I very very rarely travel on a bus - when I do I tend to hyperventiate and sweat and have to stop myself from running off.

My dad's a bus driver lol!

I have a phobia of spiders too! I get all shaky and light-headed when I see one. And I can't be in the room at all until that horrible little creature with the too-many-legs is gone!
