Re: Phobias
I dislike rain to the point of phobia, but only if I am at home, it doesn't bother me elsewhere!I am phobic about rats and mice, but love spiders and snakes. I am going to buy myself another Chilian Rose tarantula spider, I have had a couple before and much prefer them to cats or dogs.

Re: Phobias
My one and only phobia is Frogs! If I am out walking at night - I am always on 'frog alert'. Everyone thinks I am barmy
. Think it goes back to when my dad put a frog down my mum's top when she was expecting me!!! She absolutely loved frogs and thought it hilarious apparently.

Yes, I don't wish them any harm - just wish they would keep away from me sometimes (especially on the patio). Maggie

I always used to have a dread of being arrested for something I didn't do and being locked in a police cell
Bit of a lost cause really.
I have been known to drive to town shopping then find I can't cope with the crowds after about ten minutes and have to come home . Motorways are a nightmare, because of my fear I grip the steering wheel so hard my arms ache. I find I am getting worse as I get older, never really thought of it as a phobia just thought I was a bit odd
.It's good to know I am not alone

I have definitely got a lot worse since my husband died nearly four years ago as he was my rock and now I am rockless. Never mind, it takes all sorts, we are obviously extremely sensitive intelligent people as that is who mostly suffer from this (so I have read) You most definitely are not alone. Pity you are so far away as we could meet up but obviously neither of us will do the journey
