I'm actually quite fond of snakes, they are quite cuddly. However, spiders..no.

My phobia is water. Especially bodies of water. But, I get severe anxiety when I have to get in the shower.

Snakes definitely on the top of my list...  Spiders, heights, claustrophobic spaces...  Also hate scary movies where there's any kind of devil possession.  Scares the crap out of me!

They think when I was an infant a family member may have tried to drown me or may have hurt me in the bath tub. My fear happened over night while I was being baby sat by a certain someone. After that, my mother had to actually get in the tub with me. Weird enough, I know how to swim because I forced myself to learn as I got older. But being wet just makes my skin crawl and it makes me panic.

I'm not sure if it's a phobia, but when I was a kid I had this terrible fear of these puppets from a show that my 'rents used to watch called 'Spitting Image'... these things makes me sick to my stomach. And now they've started putting re-runs on cable, so every now & then I'll be flicking channels and I'll catch it, it turns my stomach. 

 I don't know how to post pcitures but here they are...

Sorry to hear that...it must become frusturating to deal with.

Yeah, it is really bothersome because it's something I have to deal with everyday. I can't avoid bathing (well I suppose I could but I'd smell a little funky)  ..On a brighter note, I deal with it a lot better then I use to.

Well lets see...I alerady posted my biggest fear...

But right behind it is stagefright of course... although thats strange seeing as how I love to play music for others...

And along the lines of everyone else... Spiders...

But I have improved along it because of a kind of therapy that is a bit unorthodox...

I have a spider tattoo on my right shoulder (soon to be touched up with a caffeinated spiderweb behind it).

Odd as it sounds... where I was scared sh*tless from them before... it's not quite as bad as it used to be before the tattoo... now hopefully getting the web added onto it will help me from walking/brushing into spiderwebs, and doing the heebeejeebee dance... nothing worse that feeling the web in your hair/on your skin...

i've actually seen this thread for a while. but i am so phobic of this i can't even talk about it. to be honest. i start to get anxiety and visions. ok yes, i'm f'd up. hahaha. but i've been afraid since a child dont' know why. and have had panic attacks over it as well. it really does suck to have a phobia. it makes u go to the brink of insanity when you come across it. ok see i i'm already getting wigged out. maybe some day when i'm strong enough i can tell what it is. but right now gotta go. peace..

I totally understand that^^

so if i invited you on a dive amongst shark filled water to go ghost hunting with a large group of people you'd say no?
