Are You Phobophobic?

phobia [foh-bee-uh] noun - a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.

We're sharing phobias this week on The Spin Cycle.

Oh yes. That would be my mother-in-law Mommy. Phobia = Mommy. Mommy = Phobia. One big, loveable bundle of persistent, irrational fear that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.

A few of Mommy's many, many...many phobias - spiders, lightning, elevators, heights, choking, pills, germs, airplanes, the unknown, strangers, the dark, carbon monoxide, crowds, disasters. The list goes on and on. I suspect that Mommy might not just have panophobia, the fear of everything, but also phobophobia, which is the fear of phobias. Sigh...

Do you have a phobia? A gripping irrational fear that makes your palms sweat, your heart beat wildly, your breath catch? Do you freeze in place? Hide in the closet? Avoid the world?

Spin it up here. Sharing is healthy. No one will make fun of you. Oh no, we won't.

Please visit all of our brave spinners!
