.spiders .claustrophobia (much the same description as eeyore's, feeling there isn't enough good air to breathe) .fear of heights (my fingers get numb and cold if i even have to walk over a freeway overpass) .fear of being in/on the ocean, although i could look at it for days straight. (i got caught in the undertow in mendocino when i was 2 and almost drowned. i would only take a bath with all 3 sisters present until i was about 7 and i had to be furthest from the drain!) .fear of public speaking, although i can come up with something right off the bat if it's an unscheduled speech or i feel passionate about something or someone pisses me off about my kidlets! just don't ever assign me a public speaking job ahead of time!

my only fear that I can't rationalize and deal with is the fear of heights. Now it doesn't bother me to go up high, the coming back down part is what I can't do.

My personal nemesis isn't on any list I know of... As some of you know, I am terrified of most animatronics. Which is why I can never go into the Rainforest Cafe restaurant. I tried. Almost had a heart-attack. I'm also a basket case in wax museums etc. (That's where my phobia began when I was a kid.) Actually any museum gives me the heebie-geebies. I'm better in art galleries, but not much. Its basically not knowing what's around the next corner, and museums are usually dark. Ick. Oh yeah, not keen on the dark, but I always have a mini-flashlight with me, so in the movie-theatres, I can find my seat and not trip on the stairs, once the lights go off. Oh, and bees/wasps/ etc. Getting stung. There are others, but who cares. LOL.

Mameblanche...your first one actually is on the list. Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsly represents a sentient being.

Almost all my phobias have to do with height or depth. *heights *deep water -especially dark murky water.. I don't wade out very far at the beach. But, I will go boating and I'm fine with it. *flying *elevators And I don't know how to classify this one.. riding on a horse. I had a bad riding experience years ago.

Fear of being stung by bees, wasps, etc. Fear of heights (In the past couple of years I have been trying to overcome this one. I forced myself to go to the Stratosphere Observation Deck in Las Vegas. It was freaky - the whole thing shook as the rollercoaster went by.)

first: lol Landi, I have had a fear of birds as far back as I can remember. And thats a long, long time ago. However, I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday lol. Was down at the coast last summer with my grandson and two of my sons. We were eating something and, the seagulls started coming around. I slowly got up and told my grandson that I was going to take a little walk. Did not want him to start a fear. Well the faster I walked the faster the birds were following me, and only me, I looked around and people were laughing at me. My dear sons were throwing food after me so the birds would follow. I was just about ready to do a ten yard dash. On a serious note (and I know this post is long) I am starting to develop agoraphobia. Afraid to leave my home. I try to make myself get out almost everyday so that it will not get worse. However there are days when I just cannot go any farther than the mailbox.

I have just a touch of claustrophobia. At times small spaces don't bother me at all, other times I just get freaked out and feel like I can't breathe. It's never bad enough, though, to deter me from going in an elevator or any other small space like that. I feel bad that some many people don't like frogs. I apologize if my screen name wigs you out.
