I haven't researched any of my phobias and am unsure if they are qualified to be considered phobias, but they definitely disrupt my day to day routine. My biggest fear is of this that swing and sometimes things that move constantly in very repetitive motion. Logically, it makes no sense. But something like a pendulum triggers panic, instant and severe. The obvious solution is that I just avoid all of that stuff, hoping to avoid an accidental encounter.. wouldn't consider it coping though. My other very prominent phobia is of dust. I clean my home incessantly to prevent it from being able to begin accumulating. But this almost feels like an ocd tendency? I waste way too much time cleaning and am terrified doing it. Usually suited up to prevent a spec of dust from landing anywhere on me. My last is most embarrassing and I never really learned how to cope. Toilets freak me out. I don't like the look or sound of them and a lot of the time I can't go because sitting on it makes me extremely anxious. Again, logically makes no sense. I'm in no danger, yet my body thinks otherwise.
