What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
I hate when you near the edge of a parking structure, even if you’re only three levels up and are protected from the edge by a massive concrete wall, and you can feel your body turning into slow, electrified Jell-O simply because that edge is even there. I swear I can tell how high I am inside tall buildings just by how the floor feels.
