This is a question Irrational Fears

My mate Dan is afraid of turning his back on a flushing toilet. "It'll suck me in", he says. Can you beat him with your own true story of an irrational fear?

Death
Perhaps not irrational, but I developed a rare condition in my middle teens where
you constantly feel your own heart beating. This sort of focused my mind on my mortality, and I once went three days without sleep, feeling my heart beating, convinced that each beat would be the last.

This led to a continual fear of dying, until finally when I was 30 I realised that I would never actually experience death (as I would be dead at the time).
