Phobias
Does anyone here have any phobias? Or just something that they're slightly more scared of than other people?
I have pretty bad arachnophobia. Two nights ago, I found a spider in my shower after I had turned the water off, and I was beginning to dry off. It was right on the wall next to me, and I bolted out of the shower. I then grabbed a cup next to my sink, filled it with water many times, and washed it down the shower drain. I was still kind of freaking out, but I proceeded to brush my teeth. Once I was done, I looked in the shower again only to see this same spider crawl back up the drain. I don't know why, but this freaked me out A LOT. I did the same thing as the first time, but this time I kept the shower water running to make sure he stayed down. Then, I busted out the draino. That sh*t had to have killed him. Afterward, I was going to go to bed, but I spent the next hour in my bedroom freaking out. I was so insanely paranoid that there were spiders all around my room. Under my bed, on my back (which I actually feel sometimes, but it was way worse this time) in a corner, on the ceiling, anywhere. Eventually I calmed down and got to sleep, but it was such a horrible night...
All over a spider less than 2 inches long, legs and all.
How do your phobias effect your life?
