I have a phobia of ANXIETY!

When I see anyone with symptoms of ANXIETY, especially HIGH ANXIETY, I become apprehensive, and seek a SAFE PLACE...

 

 

Anxiety is a KILLER...

For SURE...

Lesser of Evils becomes The Favorite... 

 

Simple concept. 

Easy to grasp... 

 

This is just Psych 101...

That's why I posted this thread on a Sunday.

Sundays are good days for threads such as these.

You can kick back, and think about your phobias...

At your leisure.

 

Nobody has time for phobias, Mondays through Saturdays...

 

But it won't be a Sunday thread tomorrow...

My fear is of violence towards me or anybody.

 

A product of my very disturbing experiences in Vietnam.

No worries. 

Trolls are mythical entities, and do not exist. 

 

Everybody knows trolls don't exist. 

 

Therefore, your fear is irrational. 

 

Anyone who believes in trolls needs to see a Shrink, PDQ.

My Phellow Phobics:

 

How many of you fear being buried alive?  There must be at least one or two members here who suffer with me concerning this rational fear.

 

 

Reading the above paragraph from Wikipedia, fear of being buried alive is actually not completely irrational.  And this is what I have been telling people…For YEARS!

 

 

Even Edgar Poe wrote about this problem, and maybe this is why Poe was so into drugs, etc.

 

It seems that many people from Philly suffer this fear, and who can blame them?

 

This is why, when I die, I just hope I have a cask of Amontillado buried with me:

Or, if not a cask, the equivalent volume of a cask, but stored in bottles, instead.

 

But we digress from the actual thrust of the OP:

 

What are your phobias?

How do you cope with them?

Wine?

Women?

Prescription meds?

Therapy using newer techniques, such as the use of Beta Blockers, etc.?

 

Do you have a phobia of sharing the name of your phobia with others?

 

And, even if you do not have a favorite phobia, then what phobia would you imagine might be the most unbearable phobia of all?

 

Now I’m getting scared.

 

Regards, and,...

Horror?

Or...

Horrible Actor?

 

Bad Actor Above...

 

And, Good Band below....

 

I swear...the guy in this video doing the digging and the singing...

MUST be from Philly.

Philly was, and probably still is, the Land of Taphophobics, and not just the City of Brotherly Love...as everyone originally thought.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why not visit a shrink ASAP?

I have...Many Times.

Lost Cause, I was told....

 

"The best you can hope for", the Shrink told me, "is to just wait it out, and hope to not embarrass yourself too much before you die."

 

Sure, it was the best advice, given the circumstances....

But I still can't believe I was paying USD100.00 per hour for such drivel, back in the days of "Last Summer", 1969...

 

Those were the days...

The bodily fluids were flowing...

And it was de rigueur to have one's own personal shrink...

 

I mean, I don't mind talking about it.

It was the thing to do...

Many guys at my school spent hours, and hours, on the couch.

 

What is the the Last Summer?:

 

And don't you just wish you were there!

It was a BLAST, Man!

or maybe you can get some (free, inadvertent) psychological help by posting on online forums.
