      I do some. But mine isn't really your common phobia like fear of hights or spiders. I have a massive fear of hippopotamus.

      Not as bad as a phobia but the past year/year and a half I've really started getting anxious to drive in the dark and the rain. To the point where I've left early from work two different times because it was dark and we were supposed to get bad storms. I'll just take my time if I have to drive or stay home/have my fiancee drive if I can.

      I have a phobia of needles. A few months ago a nurse needlessly put a needle into my wrist and now I have tendinitis. I don’t really know how to cope, I’m alright with someone putting a needle in me but I just end up crying for whatever reason

          @lilly109876 It sure is! I find myself constantly looking up symptoms online all the time, which heightens my anxiety even further! 😅😓

          @CMTstoner It's awful. 😥 I can usually handle myself getting sick, though my anxiety goes through the roof. But, with other people, I freak. It's getting better, but- still really hard
