Insanely Abstract

I am terrified of escalators. Down's not too bad, once i'm over the top of it, and i've only had to sit down once. But up is so bad I have to lean forwards straddling a couple of stairs, shut my eyes and hold on with both hands, counting the whole way up. I don't know where the fear has come from but I plan journeys around the fewest escalators. The big London Underground ones are the worst - they're steep and it's an awfully long way down, i almost want to throw myself down to get it over with.

I used to get so freaked out by public service ads on TV or radio, especially the ones about saying no to drugs or somebody got killed by a drunk driver or any of those types of ads. It would get so bad that I would either flip the channel as fast as I could or cover my ears and curl up in a ball whenever one would come on. The worst ones were the ones that told a story. The worst part is that they get stuck in my head like a bad song. I have recently started watching some of the PSA's on YouTube to see if I could see them without freaking out, and I am now to the point where I either laugh at them or they have the same effect on me that watching a scary movie has on most people, but there are a couple that I don't know if I could see again because they traumatized me so bad that even to think about them gives me the willies.

My phobia is broken glass. Not the kind when you drop a glass on the floor and it shatters everywhere, but the kind when a stone or something is thrown at a window pane and it shatters the glass and makes it look all splintery. I'm shuddering just thinking about it. I think it might have stemmed from when i threw stones at a window one time and then the window shattered and as i got closer to it, i could hear the glass making this sort of crunching sound before it all fell out in little bits. Ugh, i feel all disgusting now

When I was small I used to have recurring dreams that I was holding an extremely large pencil, bigger than me and my hand, and I would be colouring in a tiny tiny picture. Now if something really big is next to something really tiny, or if I even think about it, I feel really sick. Even typing this is giving me the heebie jeebies!!

i cant abide anything swinging!! if there is someone with a carrier bag with a small item in it then i would avoid them. i cant have those air freshners hanging in cars. i will always check my friends and family with what they are carrying and if i am not happy with this i would offer to carry the bags. this has got so bad i have attended hypnotherepy, but wait i hear you ask does that not involve a pocket watch to swing....? the watches are not used anymore, the hypnotherepy has taken the edge off my phobia but i know its still there in the back of my mind. its got to the stage where it is affecting my work as i have constantly asked my colleagues not to hang anything that swings....!!

Triangles are scarey. Don't ask why they just are.
