Do you have any phobias?

I have Galeophobia whether I am in the ocean, swimming pool, or shower. I never take long showers because I freak myself out thinking a shark is going to come through the drain and eat me.
I have Thalassophobia as well which would make sense because sharks are in there and so are a lot of other things in there that are scary.
Also Bathophobia... deep dark waters freak me out and then I think of sharks eating me again.
I have a problem with water in general. I can't go to aquariums because of the sharks and because I don't like the idea of being surround by water. Even being around a lot of fish tanks and hearing the bubbling makes me nerves.
I don't have a fear of drowning, though.

Yea it would be. I know it can't happen but the mind can make you believe anything. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't freak myself out about it.

Nope. No phobias. Been there. Done there. Don't want to do it again! It was a bad experience. Glad I got over it!

I would never go on a cruise. Even the thought of being in the middle of the ocean like that makes me panic. haha

Bodies of water also freak me out. I worked at a pet store for a while but could continue because I could walk down the isle with the fish tanks because the sounds of the bubbles made me panic. The sounds made me feel like I was being surround by water and when I think of that I think of sharks.

I fear of water especially getting drowned. I can't even swim in the water or swimming pool. I'm afraid of crossing the streets as I might die from being hit buy a car. Lastly I am so afraid of dogs as they might bite me. It's irrational fears but I can't help it.
