Weird Phobias

2

I have always hated mould but in the past couple of years (5 i have developed a real phobia of it, i don't know how but i hear there are ways of conquering phobia's, Lots of people say they have phobia's when really they are just a bit scared but mine is a PHOBIA. I was at home a while ago and my sister found some mouldy bread, she came to me and said look at this, i turned, looked at it and burst into tears after screaming loudly. i was also in morrisons once and my sis found some mouldy naan bread and showed it me and i screamed in the middle of the shop.

I never realised how bad my phobia was until today because i was at college and in the kitchen in the common room someone had found a lunchbox that was growing mould and decided to come and show me (stupidly not thinking i would react in the way i did) i screamed and started panicing (heart beating really fast and breathing fast) but lads being lads thought it was highly amusing that i was afraid of mould and started chasing me with it. OMG i was so petrified, i was opening all the windows, screaming at people, they thought i was trying to climb out lol, but then i went to the other side of the room and sat in a corner and they went and brought it near me and i just started to cry, (must have looked like such a moose lol) i was sooooooooooo scared :frown:

Everyone was laughing at me though, but it really wasn't funny at the time although i can see the funny side now it would not be funny if they try it again.

just strange how my phobia has developed i think. I never knew i was scared of it that much until today,

Just wondering what everyone elses phobia's (excluding the obvious like spiders) and how they react when faced by them, is anyone else scraed of mould like me?

Foam/anything foam-like (stuff like chair-padding). I shake uncontrollably when I'm forced to touch it. Something about the texture just creeps me out!!

I have a phobia of dentists... :frown:

Someone I went to uni with used to have a phobia of sauces - any kind of sauces. We used to freak him out at lunchtime with sachets of ketchup and mayonnaise. The poor boy! :biggrin:

I'm self-diagnosed with Coulrophobia and Consecotaleophobia... That's clowns and chopsticks. My worst nightmare involves a clown running towards me brandishing chopsticks.

Wrists! Arghhhhhhhh!
Actually, it probably doesn't reach phobia status, or maybe it does because it's a very irrational thing to not like.

I've met a couple of who won't go near cotton-wool, and my nan will avoid blutack like the plague. A phobia of weird textures it seems.

All flying insects. Especially wasps. Ever since I woke up to find a wasp flying just above my head.

Wasps, although it's more like somthing which I just run away from rather than scream and cry and stuff =/ So more like a fear than a full on phobia.

Another one- pigeons. They freak me out so bad, anything to do with them, even dead ones, which I can't even walk past. I have to cross the road. That topic about the pelican eating the pigeon and the picture- *wigs*

Even worse- pigeon sex. I've seen this twice in my life and I feel physically sick. I saw it again today.

Anyone who can get rid of the entire pigeon population I owe my entire life to.
