Phobias Options

[Raijinili]

Ever since my near death experience, I have a fear of not being able to breathe suddenly.

Rejection :D

IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN BEING IGNORED.

[Raijinili]

OH NO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE

[Raijinili]

Eh, I'll take the being ignored.

[Raijinili]

I don't think I'll ever get that way of thinking.

 My emetophobia actually vanished a few years ago, but despite that, I still feel anxiety going out, suffer from occasional panic attacks, and generally carry over many of these symptoms, despite no longer being scared of anything in particular.
 The very moment I read about it the first time, I knew this was agoraphobia, however. Agoraphobia is the fear of not being able to escape from a place or situation in case of a panic attack (or something similar), or at least not without major embarrassment or complications. The result is the avoidance of anything where a quick and easy flight is not guaranteed—such as distant locations returning from which would take very long, public transport, open spaces (where the nearest safe spot is visibly far away), crowded places, or solemn/obligatory events where leaving untimely would raise eyebrows.
 Agoraphobia is less of a phobia than an anxiety problem though, usually arising in people with a history of panic attacks (such as myself). What makes it so sneaky is that the subconscious fear of not being able to flee if it becomes necessary triggers various stress responses, which are then interpreted as a reason to flee, thus exacerbate themselves, and eventually result in either a panic attack, or flight—and in the end, avoidance of the situation in the future.

 These are all things I am all too familiar with. My movement is extremely limited; I reply on my parents to get to other places, can't do into stores alone, and, until recently, I couldn't even go into the city core some 200 m down the street because I considered it “too far away”.
 Once I learned about agoraphobia and identified it as my problem however, I started to try and cure myself, exploiting the good weather (temperatures of -15 °C to 10 °C, clear, blue sky, no hay fever) to take one or two walks each day, always exploring new routes and corners of the city I have not been to before, lengthening my walks, and testing my limits. This worked very well actually, and I was able to vastly expand my movement radius, now easily covering distances and crossing places I was dead afraid of not long ago.
Alas, this regimen ended once the weather changed. It got warmer, the latent grey cloud cover returned, and so did my hay fever. I'll have to see how I am going to continue dealing with this.

Maybe not so much a fear but an anxiety about a certain waffle maker in a certain cafeteria on campus that I expect to explode and send red hot pieces of shrapnel into my face.

I still get waffles though.

I dont have many tips but I want to share something with you. I had a fear of height basically a common height phobia. Secondly, I want to say that one should not take these phobias lightly. As long as you get some mild phobia Take care of it at once because it may become severe in the future. Mental health is very important and should be taken care as soon as it feels. There is very less trend of life coaching instead people prefer psychiatrists more. A psychiatrist deals with your depression and mental disease. However, a life coach helps you to deal with your life problems i.e mental, physical, emotional and social through every stage of your life with strong spirituality. If you know that how can you live your life against hurdles and problems you can improve your life quality and leads to prosperity with strong spiritual mindset and strong emotional intelligence. Life coaching is the natural treatment of depression according to me.
