A phobia may not exisist but then again I must say it does to much pork can cause you to have heart problems my husband cannot eat it and is terrified of it due to the fact he had a heart cath done found out his main artery to his heart was 100 per cent clogged while doing the test they ended up putting two stints in his heart and he had a heartattack while they was doing this ,he is doing a little better now but the dr told him stay away from pork so i would say the phobia  is called HEART ATTACT

Fear is about not having control. Phobias are irrational fears that are  very powerful and hard to get rid of.

Having a phobia means that the fear that you have gets in the way of doing everyday tasks. For example, if you were to avoid seeing your boyfriend or going to public places for fear of being touched, that would qualify as a phobia. Even if you don't think it's that serious, if it's really bothering you, you could always see a therapist and try to talk through it. Good luck!

Clown-o-phobia. Only kidding.\n\nIt's a pretty rational fear, though, if you think about it. You can't see what's under all the face paint, and I'm sure that quite a few other seven-year-olds are afraid of clowns, too.

I never used to have any fears when i was young.  As im getting older i seem to have loads.  I tend to be too overcautious with life nowadays!  It seems mad but crossing a bridge and looking over the wall to see the ducks in the rivers water is more of now a nail-biting experience.  The only thing i can suggest is a slow step, by step to conquer the fears.  It hasn't yet worked for me, the river that is by that bridge i dread, brings alot of insecurities for me.  A friend died near their from hypertherma and think its a case for me digging up the griefing part of things..  You never know but there could be a reason behind the lift you dread to take to fifth floor.  Theres a lot of emotional tree branches that our brain tend to keep a lock onto...!  Release the locks with the keys you hold in your hand.

That would be podophobia (although I'm not sure if the word actually exists).\nI actually knew a guy (he attended one of the courses I teach) who had fear of his own feet. Can you believe it? When we made the field trip that was part of the course (to a beautiful subtropical reservation, with lakes included) he could only go in the lake if the water was muddy enough that he could not see his feet. And he always wore socks (it was summer!!!).

From the website http://www.ihateclowns.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-639.html\n\nThe fear of midgets/dwarves/little people/persons of smaller stature or whatever the correct term is (no offense intended to anyone in this category) is, as far as I can tell, yet unnamed, but I myself have had numerous people submit this to me as one of their fears, and I saw a poster on a website suggest nanuphobia, meaning "fear of people of abnormally small size", which to me is pretty much a perfect term. There is also the longer "achondroplasiaphobia", also posted on a site, which uses the medical term indicating abnormal development of bone and cartilage which ultimately restricts and limits size and growth.

I know it might sound a little extreme, but talking to a therapist might help you to understand what causes phobias and why you feel this way, which would make it a lot easier to confront. Hypnotherapy is supposed to be very good, and a therapist would probably be able to refer you to a reputable one.\n\nThe important thing to remember not to feel stupid about your phobia, everyone feels differently about things for a reason, the best thing you can do would be to work out what that reason is, and to try and confront it.\n\nHowever, you will need to take this slowly, don't just jump in a pond full of fish as some people have suggested because this will probably just make your fear worse.Maybe start by watching some fish in a friends tank? then perhaps progress to visiting an aquariam? you wouldn't have to spend all day in there, half an hour would be enough to prove that you can face your fears. \nYou could also try looking at the fish counter at your local supermarket or grocery store, and eventually progress to buying some fish.You wouldn't have to eat the first time, just having the courage to buy the fish and take it home would be a good step.Have you considered trying to eat fish in an unrecognizable form? fishfingers neither look nor taste like fish.Tuna steaks are delicious grilled, and taste meaty, not like fish at all.I hope some of these suggestions help.\n\nSorry, have just read your update and i can see that you do like tuna.This is really good, it shows that you are already one step closer to overcoming your phobia.Just remember to believe in yourself!

Yes.  I have an irrational fear of snakes.  They terrify me.  I was in high school and in my science class, they had people from the zoo bring in animals.  They brought these snakes that are called worm snakes because they are no bigger than an earthworm.  Well, when they brought them out of their cage, I started to get a little uneasy.  My teacher noticed this and thought he would be helping me by seeing that there was nothing to be afraid of.  He went to put it in my hand and as soon as I touched it, I freaked out and ran out of the classroom.  I wound up having a panic attack because of it.  I highly doubt that I will ever get over fearing snakes.  There is just something about them that scares the living daylights out of me.

Esophobia is the fear of dawn, or daylight, so "What is esophobia the fear of?" would be a better question.  Though I do suppose vampires would all be predisposed to the disorder.

I used to have a pretty good case of arachnophobia (fear of spiders). But about ten years ago my changing religious beliefs made me become a vegetarian. So there I was trying to act like all life was sacred while still squishing spiders every chance I got. As I was feeling more and more guilty, I decided that I had to "put up or shut up" so to speak.\nOne night I saw a spider on the wall and instead of smashing it I thought I should try to catch it in something and let it go outside. Loathing getting that close to a live spider I first put on a pair of latex/rubber gloves, and then grabbed the biggest piece of tupperware with a lid that I could find (the whole time thanking God that no one was around with a camera...). Anyway, I got the spider into this two gallon container, put the lid on as fast as was humanly possible, and took it outside. When I was good and sure that the spider was at the bottom of the tupperware, I opened the lid and tipped it on it's side.\nDoing this repeatedly I became more and more used to the spiders ( I think the psychological term is "desensitized"), as each time I did this I would look at the spider through the clear plastic. Soon I was using a smaller container, and now I'm comfortable enough to scoop them up on a piece of paper. Granted I still won't touch one with my bare hands, but I can honestly say that they don't freak me out anymore.\nNot sure about the fear of the dark. Good luck.
