A phobia (from Greek: φόβος, phobos, "fear"), is an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or people. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. - wikipedia.org

Potential, similiar phobias. Nothing serious.

Amaxophobia- Fear of riding in a car

Febriphobia or Fibriphobia or Fibriophobia- Fear of fever

I found two phobias I would have if my fears got to out of control. I wanted to research phobias because it's truly amazing how many crazy phobias their are out there. I found fear's of gold, fish, sermons, gays and fear of the color red. I cant imagine living with a phobia. The things youd have to do to avoid and do..
I have a small fear of riding in cars. Only because I always think an on coming car is going to hit us. When I'm in a car i cant sleep or look out the window without watching the cars pass by. I don't trust any drivers judgement. This has been going on since I was about 13. There was no car accident i was involved in too make me feel this way. All of sudden one day in the car I just got paranoid. In long car rides I cant fall asleep in a moving car because I'm too busy watching the on coming traffic. I guess its not that big of deal but it's still nerve racking and annoying sometimes.
My second fear I found was 'fear of fever'. I have a fear of the flu but only around flu season. I used to get the flu every winter for as long as i can remember. The stomach pains I get are literally unbareable. I remember one year they were so bad I wanted to get a kitchen knife and stab my stomach so it would stop. I fear those stomach pains so much. I haven't had the flu for two years now So i know its right around the corner which is terrifying.

Imagery desensitizing seems to be the only treatment for phobias.


I wish i was born with antlers.
