Fears and PhobiasI'll level with you. I'm really freaked out by loose buttons. I'm fine while they're doing their job, but once they're free the evil bastards are a major threat to my life. Tell us what spooks you, and how you cope. Also: church bells, doner kebab salads, death.

A good place to discover that you're claustrophobic... is definitely NOT half way into a potholing trip.
I'd happily joined up, it was something I'd always thought I'd like to try. We got kitted up, started our descent, no problems. Then, suddenly, it all went wrong, and The Fear hit me - real primal, animal terror. Not intellectual "Shit, this is a bit dangerous" kind of fear, but deep, limbic horror that can't easily be put into words.
Apparently, I smashed the record time for exiting the cave...

Hahaha. I have seen people get "the fear" when diving. It's primal and there is no reasoning with it.
