Hmm, perhaps it is. Worst of all is being sandwiched between the barrier and a huge evil truck.

Well, I've already confessed this, but I am definitely agoraphobic. This seems like a more appropriate place to talk about it. "Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder which primarily consists of the fear of experiencing a difficult or embarrassing situation from which the sufferer cannot escape." Basically, what it comes down to, is I'm afraid of leaving the house. And I get exceedingly nervous if I know I'm going to have to. When I go to school, the first few weeks of each semester are horrendous, but once I get into a pattern, I'm okay. Anything out of the norm seriously sends me for a loop. The first few days of my senior year of high school, I broke down crying every morning because I was terrified to go to school. I refused to leave my chair, and curled up, shaking and crying and completely incoherent. It was the lowest point of my life, honestly. I didn't know what was wrong with me, because I'd always been nervous about doing new things, but I'd never started crying about going to SCHOOL. Every semester now, I worry that this will happen to me again. Apart from that, I am terrified of the dark. When I sleep at home alone, I have to have a light on, or I freak the hell out. When there's someone else in the room with me, I'm usually okay. Like at school, I have a roommate. I am so pathetic. Hah.

I'm nearly sick if i ever touch crusty socks. Clean or dirty it just makes me cringe and for some reason if i touch them i can just feel them in my mouth. I'm also freaked out by gherkins and i'm scaired of lifts.
I think i'm pretty lucky with only 3 major phobias cause my family all have really weird ones and loads of them. I got off lightly though. No doubt i'll find alot more of them as the years go on.

I have to face my needle phobia in exactly one week. I think that is enough time to mentally prepare, though I don't know.

I wish I was scared of normal things, like needles.
Though, when I was little, I had to get shots for something or other, and I cried and threw a fit for nearly an hour before the doctor could get me still enough to give them to me. Nowadays I don't mind so much. Then again, I don't often have needles near me..
