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.

ADHD and othersI've dealt with kids with ADHD and other disorders (working in an EBD school gives you that kind of experience) and can say that yes, these disorders do exist, but at the same time it can be brought out and used as an excuse by many parents who can't be arsed with their kids.
There are different methods for dealing with ADHD kids beyond just letting them misbehave, one such method was to give them a ball which they could squeeze (insert joke here).
Phobias? yeah, I tink they are a real issue for people. I have a total irrational fear of spiders (big ones, money spiders are ok weirdly enough), I know on an intellectual level that they can do no harm to me but try to get me close to one and I'll rip your arm off to get away from it!
So yeah, perhaps having a phobia makes you mental but it's a real issue, i read thgat it can be caused form parents showing fear when you are young? Not sure of the truth of it but my mum was alwys scared of spiders as well....
Apologies but it annoys me that people just dismiss something out of turn
