Too many if these are just fears. Not phobias. Anyway, I have a phobia of blood tests. I can't even say the words without bending my arms in protection. I'm working on it because I'm technically supposed to get one every year, but as I've grown older, my fear has gotten worse, and I was unable to get one last year. The year before, I had a panic attack during my checkup at the thought of getting one and had to go home and return to get it the next day. I didn't freak out the next day; I worked all evening on trying to keep calm, but when it was done I freaked out and they spent about ten minutes reviving me. I didn't pass out, but I did finally vomit. I'm going to visit a therapist to get help because it's a terrible phobia that really affects my health.
