Telephobia-fear of talking on the phone
This one in itself is bad. I can't do anything that involves talking on the phone. It makes my family and boyfriend so mad. Like right now the only communication I have with my brother while hes in Afghanistan is talking on the phone, but I just can't do it. I get the worst panic attacks and I can't breath, it's horrible and so bad. I've cost myself plenty of job opportunities just because I can't pick up on the phone and call about my application.
I don't know if there is a name for this fear but I fear bugs. Any kind of bug I don't care what it is I fear it. It's so bad that I can't even be the same room as one. If I see a bug or god forbid a cockroach in the room, I'll run out of the room screaming and crying. I won't go back in the room for at least a month just because I'm scared of it still being there. This fear also controls my life because I hardly go out because of it, because there are bugs everywhere.
