What are your phobias?

Yeah, heights is a bad one for me as well. I did Go Ape at Cannock Chase stupidly thinking it would cure me...................it didn't and I found myself stuck up on some treeline boardwalk frozen with fear and there's no easy escape to the ground!! Horrible

We went there on a staff team building thing a few years ago - I was wise and stayed firmly on the ground! There is no way down other than by moving forward and coming down the zip wires, and there is no way on earth I could have gone down those...

On your own, in this pool, with a load of water spiders?

Thats exactly waht happnes. Once up the only way down is by going up and across the course- truly terrifying :( At one point I had an 11 yr old checking on me and telling me where to move as I was so rigid wiht fear, I was literally frozin in fear.

Heights. Have great difficulty much above the fifth floor in buildings if I can see out, can't cope with London Eye type big wheels, being in the circle in theatres or cinemas if I can see the seats below, nearly freaked out going up the Monument in London. But it is only with man made structures, I can stand on the edge of high cliffs & look down happily and never had problems with trees in the days when I could climb them.

After reading all of your Phobia, I've realised I'm scared or worried (but not phobic) about LOTS of things.....

Open water - not sure why as I can swim perfectly well.

Things in the sea.

Things touching me in the sea.

The dark.

Heights - same as @Noah , only man made heights. I get the horrible feeling that I will just throw myself of the top of castles etc.....is that just me?

Crowds of people.

Motorways.

Balloons.

Not being near, or knowing where a toilet is....


Jeez, its a wonder I leave the house!

All of those make sense to me, Littleme. I would also say walking over bridges in case they fall through. Oh, I am normal weight, by the way!
