Hello all,
Not sure if this fits into this this thread, but if left untreated could become a life controlling Paranoid delusion. Dees anyone else suffer from extreme phobias? I suffer from Kinemortophobia, a fear of the Zombie Apocalypse. Right now it is more of an embarrassment then a delusion but I have noticed that if I discuss it for more than say 10 minutes I start to believe it. I used to love cemeteries, now I won’t go near one, and I watch them like a hawk when I have to drive past one or stop near one at a red light. I have a real physical plan for stockpiling arms and food, plans for a bio dome and a home tunneled into a section of the WY Rocky Mountain range- though an old missile silo or site would do nicely as well.
My phobia began when I mixed a movie genre I loved and still love with extreme PPD (post-partum Depression). It began in 2004 after the birth of my oldest, her dad rented me a copy of the, at the time new, Dawn of the Dead which I had been wanting to see- I have been a Kinemortophobe ever since. My husband and I are really afraid that one Halloween joke gone wrong will turn what I know is a stupid phobia of a scientific improbability into a real delusion.
While I know many if not most will not have the exact phobia I have- knowing how other beat their phobias would be most welcomed.
