for years my bufonophobia was misdiagnsed but finally with the help of a good therapist who recognised it as ranidaphobia together with a proper course of pharmacuticals I am in remission (one is never cured)
Unfortunately... as I hit my mid 50's I have come down with auroraphobia
Heights -
Ironic after a thousand hours in helicopters.
Didn't come on until I hit my thirties & too active an imagination. Now high buildings & cliff edges scare the heck out of me.
Black helicopters rising over a ridge. I love Helis and have flown a few but when the're popping up over a ridge or just hovering nearby it gives me the willys.
Go Figure!
Now that's funny.I saw a guy do that once.Well a good samaritan(let's call him "Drunk Mark")offered to climb down there and get his keys,for a six/pac.Stupid found the keys and handed them to the guy before he got out of the drain and the guy walked over to his "Yuppy Ride"and took off.HaHaHaaa!!!!
I bought him some beer just for the show.
Man that guy stunk.
Heights. When I look down a stairwell that's even a few stories high, I get a weird tingle/ache in my whole body.
I've been driving over this one overpass (where the road leaves the freeway, then crosses over it again to head 90 degrees) as long as I've been driving. Then a couple of weeks ago, as I'm approaching it, I get that same queasy feeling of being afriad of the height/bridge I'm approaching.
Other than a fear of revealing my phobia, I have an abiding hatred of telephones and talking on them. I have yet to shoot the danged thing when it rings but have surely considered it.
