144 PHOBİAS fobiler

Three people talk about their experiences of “phobias”.
The phone rang at midnight. There was a frantic voice on the other end. “I know it’s late. But it’s urgent. Please come round.” My friend was standing miserably in the hallwa of her flat, pointing towards a closed door. “It’s in there, please do something, but be careful, it’s really large.” I opened the bathroom door carefully not knowing what to expect, and there was a peaceful little spider in her bath.

"Going up in the lift doesn't worry me, but some of our offices have large windows and I feel as if the ground is coming up towards me, making me want to jump. I tried explaining my fear of height to another girl in the office, but she laughed at me and told me not to be so silly. I know it's silly but I can't help it. I'll do anything to avoid going into those offices - I even stayed at home once because I didn't want to go to a meeting in there."

"I wasn't at all afraid of flying at that age, but I remember that it was a very bad flight. There was lots of turbulence; even the cabin crew were falling about. I was frightened for the whole journey. If I look up and see a plane and think about flying, my heart starts beating faster. When I'm actually on a plane, I feel sick and physically stop myself from standing up and screaming. The only way I can cope with it is to pretend it's not happening to me. I sit rigid, next to the aisle, staring at the seat in front. I can't look out of the window. I count the number of seats - anything to avoid acknowledging the fact that I^tm flying. It's so unnatural to be thousands of metres up with all that open space around you.”
