NOTE: This may be appropriate for the spam page, but I don't know. Anyways. If you have a phobia, then post it, and share your thoughts about it with each other. Name your phobia, and define it. You can use google or use wikipedia for help.
Aquaphobia
Aquaphobia is a kind of specific phobia, an abnormal and persistent fear of water. It involves a level of fear that is beyond control or that may interfere with daily life. Specifically, people suffering from aquaphobia may experience anxiety even though they realize the water in an ocean, a river, a lake, a creek or even a bathtub may pose no imminent threat. They may avoid such activities as boating and swimming, or they may avoid swimming in the deep ocean despite having mastered basic swimming skills. At home, they may even be afraid to take baths or showers.
My situation is really worse. I've nearly drowned twice. Once, at age 5, I was dipped in a pool for no apparent reason at all. At age 12, someone tripped me while I was walking near the edge of the pool. Now, I can't take showers or join my friends because of my phobia. I rarely take showers, but if I do, I try to take long showers with hot water (So the temperature can feel like as if it were at room temperature). I'm afraid of looking at large bodies of water, any blue pigment that depicts the ocean, wierd and just regular sea creatures, and I'm afraid of looking at underwater pictures. [/color]
Do you have a phobia? If not, you can discuss mines, and/or anybody else's phobia.
