PhobiasWhat gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

BIG THINGS!!!!!!This phobia about big things mainly manifests itself with a fear of dinasaurs. I cannot go into the British Museum because of the life size replicas and even the skeletons of them make me scream like a girl. I went to see Jurrasic park at the cinema and felt very uneasy.
Also mountains, there's a mountain that appears out of nowhere as your travel up the motorway out of Cumbria to Scotland and it scares me silly. I feel like it's going to squish me. This is strange as I went to the Blue Ridge mountains in America and felt ok.
I don't like stuffed animals and I'm not keen of shops that sell tropical fish with all those aquariums along the walls. So basically anthing big and foreboding and likely to eat me is not good. Or anything that feels like it's closing in on me.
I suffered with panic attack for a good few years everytime I felt trapped and now I only have to worry when I'm on a plane or coach as I can't get off. In fact I won't travel on a coach unless there's a loo I can hide in if the need arises.
I think that's it!
Oh! I didn't go swimming for many years as I was scared of sharks. This included the local swimming pool.

Plane or coachMe too. Tramadol and Diazepam help. Oh yes, do they help. Rubberised humans know no fear.

I take betablockers...They stop the adrenaline from pumping so it stops the panic attacks from getting a hold.

SharksAfter seeing Jaws for the first time, my cousin hated going to the toilet for months, because she was convinced that he was going to pop up and bite her arse.

BIG THINGS EH??I hope this isn't a sly remark regarding the time Captain Placid and I invaded your part of the world...
And of course, when I say 'Big things' I am implying the size of our beer bellies.
