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?

Injections...
I have an abject terror of injections, to the point that I have refused medication that could have stopped me violently throwing up after an incident of food poisining .
There have been few occasions when, unable to avoid an injection, I have not started to feel like a TV not tuned to a station - white noise gets louder, picture gets fuzzy until its just random black and white dots, and over I keel.
It happened in a doctor's surgery once. When I came round, the doc was very sympathetic, but rather spoiled it by asking me if he could take a blood sample to help pin down the problem...
We decided to agree that it was purely psychosomatic.
