So, I guess other than substance stuff and anxiety issues, phobias are the most common additional dx in us, or so I read. I definitely have a full-on, legit heights phobia, no doubt. I have also more recently developeda some sort of fear of leaving my apt. Not really sure what that is about. Weird.
Anyway, was wondering what phobias you may have. Thanks!!!!!! __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

Yeah, I'm with you both. I have a hard time leaving the house lately. I can do it for appointments and the such. But its hard and I have to self-coach to get out of my truck. And lately I've been in mania so much that I have to be driven places, which affects my wife's job.

I suffer from agoraphobia and claustrophobia. I need to be sedated to have a MRI and really struggle to get on a train because a train carriage feels like a metal box. I have to push myself to leave my apartment every day. If I don’t my agoraphobia only gets worse.

I found out a few years I’m scared of heights. Its a weird phenomenon. I mean, it doesn’t seem to be that extreme always but the other day I was walking across a bridge over the highway (in an area of the park) and I happened to look down and got so dizzy and light headed. My heart started racing. It was intense. It wasn’t a full on panic attack I wouldn’t say, but a very negative experience

Serious claustrophobia. I will absolutely take the stairs if I can, even if it’s three stories up. Elevators scare the crap out of me, especially since there’s no cell service. I can’t even imagine getting on an airplane at thus point, COVID or not. I’ll probably gave to be sedated with a benzo.

death (to an extent)

I had agoraphobia for a year because of a traumatic event that some people might say is silly but I didnt see it that way. Only exposure therapy worked for me to overcome it.

I have anxiety and strong dislikes but nothing that rises to the level of phobia. Tho as I became old I no longer have a head for heights. I get vertigo now. I used to love heights. But I think that's a physical thing. I hate bugs and spiders in my house but tolerate them outside. Snakes make my skin crawl but no panic despite the pranks my cousin pulled on me.
