When I try to sleep at night, I see things. It scares me. Not so much the dark, but the things I see. I'm afriad they'll be real. I can't stand it! I'm very paranoid, I will not sleep in a dark room alone, ever.

So, ever since I could remember I've had this fear of unknown bathrooms, and would ask people if I could use to even if I'd already asked many times before. But it's not always unknown bathrooms. If the light in the bathroom is off I turn it on, even if it's broad daylight. If there's even the slightest noise of the door opening or something creeking, I almost go into this stage of panick. I think I know atleast two reasons of why I both have a fear of bathrooms and the fear of inclosed spaces.
You see, my mom told me this story that she hear me say when I was very young. Basicly the story begins when I was at my grandmothers house and I was taking a bath. Mom said I screamed and ran out of the bathroom pale as a sheet and shaking really bad. She asked me what was wrong and I told her that I saw an old lady in the bathtube with me. After trying to get me back into the bathroom many upon many times. They finally just bathed me in the sink.
The other reason as to why I have this fear, and one I can still remember,is that When I was younger I was locked in the bathroom with the lights out by my uncle, who wasn't very old, probly near the age of 13, then him and his friends would pound on the doors and walls of the room next to the bathroom. When I would beg and cry to be let out they would, laughing at me as I just slowly came out and of course told my mother what they did.

I cannot close my eyes when I am in water. Showers are the worst nowadays since i've mad the decision to avoid lakes and pools all together. I always feel like someone will drown me when my eyes are closed, or when i open my eyes something horrifying will be in front of me.

Whenever I shut off a light in my house, be it a hallway or a room, I have to run into the next lit area. I'm not afraid of the dark, as this only affects me in my home. I've been doing this for over 20 years.

I am terrified of domes and tunnels. When I drive and am coming upon a tunnel, I must put the sunvisor down and focus on the hood of my vehicle. I feel chills starting down my back when I enter the tunnel. If a building has a dome of any kind or size, forget me going in. It's a fear that literally makes me ill. I break out in a sweat and I get really sick to my stomach. It makes it difficult for me to go a lot of place. There are times when I even get fearful of looking up at the blue sky because it becomes like a giant dome. I wish I understood more where this fear originated from and why I continue to have it.

If i am in a open space then i start to faint I think that someone is going to take me or i might be lost. i think when i was 4 i was left at a farm so that may be why.

Well, since i was, like 7 years old, i've been dethly afraid of elevators. I always think they're going to lock and im not going to be able to get out or the cord might break and i'll fall down to my death. I might go into elevators, however, if there are other people in there that arent my family. I feel even more comfortable if there are people my age that are punk... like, the subculture; black clothes with mohawks, kind of punks. Im not sure why...

Not a phobia at all really, but it is strange. When I'm high up and looking down over a fence, for example, being a few floors up in a shopping centre and looking down over the edge, I suddenly feel as though I might fall down. This can either be that I'll suddenly lose balance and topple over, or that I'll throw myself off, half-accidentally, to see what it feels like. I don't actually contemplate doing this, but I feel as though I might, as I say, half-accidentally do it.
