Phobias that you have?
-
Cockroach! I'm horribly terrified of them. It started when I was 5 or 6. Still remember it. I was asleep on the floor because I was tired and when I woke up, a cockroach crawled near my left ear. It almost entered my ear!
-
Fear of wasps and bees!

Not sure what it's called but I'm afraid of falling off of a cliff :afr: :afr: :afr:

i can help you there ,psychology is my field of work.
If it's just cliffs and mountains and nothing else its called Acrophobia SMDD ( Space and Motion discomfort Disorder)
but Acrophobia does not just apply to extreme heights , the flight or fight response applies normally in these conditions
acrophobia applies even to heights that would not be deemed dangerous in normal circumstances .if you are phobic of falling in general , it's just called "FOF" fear of falling and is a normal human response .

Cockroach! :cry2:

sorry but that is incorrect and an old wives tale , Cockroaches are only dirty if you keep a dirty house
there are umpteen tests conducted on cockroaches and on humans that are evidence based and all concluded that the cockroach has less germ transmittance on it than swabs from humans.they are creepy looking fuckers though.

I always thought the term was Bathmophobia but it turns out I have Climacophobia not that I can pronounce either one. The long and the short of it is if your in a rush don't get behind me when I am going down stairs. I have been known to sit and wait for the fear to pass.

bathophobia without the M , is a fear of depth , be it hallways stairs lakes deep pools etc , i have a client right now with climacophobia , we spent the whole day today overcoming the anxiety to go down escalators.

And with the M bathmophobia is specifically a fear of stairs or slopes which I was led to believe my issue was but looking it up on my own I found Climacophobia. For me it's really just about going down stairs and I know exactly why, when we were younger my brother fell. The goose egg he got on his head was so alien and weird to me it's left me with this fear. It's manageable especially when I am alone or stairs I am familiar with but if there are randoms going on around me the panic can set in. Escalators not an issue, in fact I get incensed with the people who "stop walking because the stairs are moving".

i know of Bathmophobia ( hope i do ..lol or i wasted 8 years of study )
so do you engage in C.B.T Semtex ? helping ease Bathmophobia is really successful with cognitive based therapy . -

Tale or not seems to have most of us convinced..

I don't think I'm truly irrationally afraid of patterns of holes, but trypophobia gives me the wigs. ick, I got grossed out just googling how to spell it properly lol.

This…
If you have a shiver looking at that picture (not disgust) than unconsciously you have Trypophobia.
Yeah. And do not Google it. It's not a friendly experience…...

_Aren't you satisfied with Google?

Rarely use it… Better alternatives for me

I meant it's not a friendly experience googling for Trypophobia images

acrophobia applies even to heights that would not be deemed dangerous in normal circumstances .
I guess that's me then, I've been known to struggle to walk over bridges (as in 4 lane iron road bridges not some rope and wood thing) depending on how close to the side I have to be. Another time on a school residential I was persuaded to give rock climbing a try (artificial wall in a big warehouse type thing, fully harnessed and everything), once I'd got about 4-5 feet off the ground I became absolutely terrified and started yelling at the teacher to get me down, I believe that was the only time I ever got away with swearing at a teacher, certainly can't go anywhere near cliff tops and things.
