I felt the need to speak about two of my fears that I don't believe that I've ever mentioned before. The fist one I wanted to talked about because it's rather ironic. Obviously if you've read some of my other blogs then you know that I love Cirque Du Soleil. I don't even know how many of the shows that I've seen (mostly on DVD but still). The point is that I'm familiar with the shows and they bring me a lot of joy. But here's the thing I have a rather...well I don't want to say severe...more like just a really bad case of Coulrophobia, which is the fear of........clowns....yeah I know. It used to be a really mild case, but then I saw the movie "IT" and now I can't even watch Bozo without my heart rate raising. and I'm fine as long as their not in my personal space. Like I've gone to the circus and there are clowns running around, but I'm always far enough away that it doesn't bother me. But I don't know it just seemed rather ironic to me.

Second one is a fear that most people have as a small child but they then grow out of it or it gets better and mine just got worse. Trypanophobia, which is the fear of needles. I'm fine around needles as long as I know for sure that they are not going into me. I mean I sew by machine and by hand all the time and the needles don't bother me. but going to the doctor's office can be terrifying for me. The one time I've come close to fainting was in a doctor's office. They were testing for like H1N1 or something and instead of taking blood from my main vein I took the slightly less terrifying choice of having it drawn from my finger. Mostly because when they do your finger then you can't see the needle because it's in this little spring loaded box. I was sitting on the table-bed and I started swaying and the nurse-guy had to lower me to the bed. He said that he saw me turning green. and that was just from a small prick on my finger. So would say that over all my fear of needles if much greater than my fear of clowns.

another random phobia of mine is:
*Atychiphobia: fear of failure (yep the fear of being wrong...I know, lame right?)


I definitely do NOT have this
*Dementophobia- Fear of insanity (also called Agateophobia)

Here's where you can find a list of a bunch of phobias...some of them are really weird: [link]

Do you have any phobias?
