Phobias
What 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.

The sound of my own heart beating
No, really.
And not just in an eww-that's-not-nice way - more of an end-up-lying-in-hospital-connected-up-to-ECG-machine-convinced-I-was-dying kind of thing.
Twice.
Along with blood tests, nearly being prescribed beta-blockers, requiring regular check-ups etc...
If someone had taken the time to explain to me (a) what a panic attack was, and (b) healthy hearts don't beat particularly regularly anyway, especially when dosed up on adrenaline, things wouldn't have been nearly so bad - and wouldn't have gone on for as long as they did.
I'm better now, honest. My panic attacks are caused by entirely different things these days...

My pulse
goes up to about 130 when I have panic attacks. Sitting down.
