Just posted on a thread about people being scared of clowns, as my dd is.

just wonderin, does anyone else have a phobia?

i do, it's birds, am absolutely and totally terrified of them, from a budgie to an eagle, they all scare the bejeesus out of me. Can't pass a pidgeon..(yuk..fearless critters), and I will go out of my way to avoid the scary chickens at the kiddos farmyard.

Is anyone else so irrationally scared of anything, or am I the only big scaredy cat here??? BTW...birds are a hard thing to avoid, they are everywhere, and I can scan an area in seconds to make sure there are none around before I know it's safe to go in or out!!

Seriously, it's a very inhibiting thing, a phobia, and it's getting worse, not better with age!

I have a fear of vomit....yeah, nice considering I'm about to start nursing school....if anyone shares that same phobia there's a whole thread on this website about it!!

someone earlier in this thread posted a link to a book that helps with phobias....what was the name of it please? I can't get the link to open. I also have a fear of people sitting behind me. I am afraid they are going to start chewing and popping their gum (I HATE THAT!!) and I won't be able to get up and leave (ie in class or something) so I usually sit near the back. I hate movie theaters too because of all the popcorn crunching LOL!!
