I think there should be a place for phobias on here. I have one against drowning and as a result I haven't been able to learn to swim. Anyone else have any phobias they would like to discuss?

Yah I would really find this helpful.

Maybe talking about them and if others have the same I won't feel so bad about them.

Yes! A Forum Strictly for Phobias is a great idea. I have plenty. Ocean Water being among the the worst.

I thought phobia was an extreme form of anxiety? If it is, it would fit in the anxiety forum. I don' t think ppl would make fun or anything. It's like creating a forum for both depression and dysthymia - they're both similar, just depression is more severe - but both can be discussed in the same forum. I'd think that anxiety and phobias can be discussed in the same forum too - at least that's my opinion.

Phobias are considered an anxiety disorder and is referred to as "specific phobia", something which I am well acquainted with. I have multiple phobias.

I would post in the anxiety forum.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
