My phobia is fear of bridges.... I still cant ride my bike over the thru way bridge. some i can but i do get anxious and it's difficult if a car passes by

I hate bridges because when I was 6 my little hometown had one of the biggest bridge disasters in US history. I still don't trust them and hate to get stuck in traffic sitting on an overpass. Makes me nervous. It's not a phobia, really, just leftover fear from my childhood.

My big phobia is kind of weird. I can't go into those big warehouse stores like Costco or Home Depot. I get so uptight I can't breathe and have to leave. All that stuff stacked up on either side of me looks like it's falling in toward the center and going to crush me. I even get vertigo because I have no peripheral frame of reference outside the aisle I'm in.

Claustrophobia. Yes, I know, pretty common. Mine goes pretty far. When I watch tv, anything on it that’s set in a tight space (movies like The Descent, 47 Meters Down 2) really get my lungs constricting. When my husband wrestles me, rolling me in the blankets or hugging me too hard, I panic! Ideas like spelunking give me nightmares!
