Motorbikes, scare the crap out of me, I had an accident with one years ago (wasn't my fault) but since then I get the shakes every time one goes past.

And bridges, ones with cars going underneath scare me to death

Its not a fear, because I don't really have a fear, but if I look over the edge and it's high, I get an urge to jump. I'm convinced I wouldn't die, that I'd land and walk away. Like some kind of super power.

So far I've withheld the urge.

I can't swim I've had a real phobia of it since I was a small child, when I a child, about 3 or 4 my dad decided the best way to learn me to swim was just throw me in, I remember quite vividly struggling for my life to get out and looking up at him just stood laughing at me flapping about, some random woman jumped in to save me, I have never been near a pool since, I actually get cold sweats when I see a pool or any big areas of water

I just cannot cope with mice because of how they move. We lived in the country for a whole and I would retreat upstairs screaming and refuse to come down until my daughter (I think she was about 8) pointed the cat at them. The cat just played with any mouse until it was exhausted or petrified and then my daughter would pick it up by its tail, tell the cat off and hide the mouse outside somewhere. Then, and only then, would I come downstairs. I think the cats did it to wind me up - bring them into the house in the first place. We didn't live too long in the country

For the people with actual phobias, have you ever looked into getting help for them? There's a lot of information online about different ways of tackling them. It's worthwhile giving it a go. You can even do some things yourself. It can work and you can regain control.

"I have megalohydrothalassophobia.

It's a fear of huge objects submerged deep underwater. Specifically in the sea. Shipwrecks in particular.

I had no idea it had a name, thank you For me this also includes the underside of boats

Oh yes, I can relate to that. The bit where the water laps against it, shudder...."

My OH is scared of things you can't see the bottom of or where you can't see where your feet are going, so the sea, canals, rivers, dark areas at night, long grass ...

I'm not great with heights but love stuff like abseiling and always go beyond the barriers, if they start to crop up, if I'm climbing high. I've got a bit of a funny streak, so when I feel held back I go out of my way to, sometimes sheepishly, beat it.

Other than that touching slugs I find rather distasteful. (I prefer ahow-ers to growers).

"Rats. absolutely detest them

You wouldn't want to visit me then ... I have 4 pet rats "

Rats kick ass!

I came home aged 14 with 2 pet rats that I got in some misplaced attempt to shock my parents.

They're soooo delightful - much more interesting than hamsters or gerbils and you can teach them to do tricks and they sit on yr shoulders lol

I kept rats for 11 years.

"Feeling, hearing, seeing and being sick

(Vomit)

Emetophobia I have that as well.

That's the word for it! The panic attacks around I get are just as bad

I've only had it for a couple of years. I didn't develop it until I left school and spent my first day at a new course having my first panic attacks and strong sense of nausea and passing out. But i'm employed and calm now but still wary of what i'm eating and being really clean to avoid it coming on

I feel for you, I really do.

Iv had mine nearly 17 years.

Wow almost as long as I've been alive. Hope one day it just vanishes for you.

I won't

I was wanting to get over mine but apparently the only way is exposure therapy. Definitely not doing that

No!!! A counsellor/therapist told me she could induce it if I wanted to try and get over it! "

Back where I belong

My phobia is really bad, I feel physically sick just saying or seeing the word, but they have 8 legs.

I was on a date at home the other week and a huge one decided to run across the living room floor - there I am shaking, terrified and almost throwing up, curled into a ball, while the guy caught it and got rid of it.

Scared of spiders ... I can cope with tiny ones but if a big one was to appear in my flat then I'd leave until a neighbour could get it...oh I wonder if a hunky fireman would rescue me (I have a fireman craving recently )

Also I'm scared of piers, or stairs that have no back step on them. I hate being able to see the ground or sea below

I used to be scared of crowds and confined places. Nearly had meltdowns before just because I was in a lift, even though it was empty. I've since been stuck in London underground, Tokyo underground, and various other places during rush hour, and now I can tolerate even if I'm not happy about it
