If you saw me anywhere near a dead fish then you'd know that was a phobia, but it doesn't control my life, I just go nowhere near dead fish!!!

I believe you, hun.........what I disagree with is the theory that we all have a phobia........

[Stirky]

I said I used to think everybody had a phobia lol Because I had them I used to think it was just a normal thing

[Agartha]

LOL...Yeah, it was VM that said 'normal' people hide their fears and phobias.......and you know very well you cannot hide a phobia.

[Stirky]

Some people do bury stuff deep inside them, they do not even admit things to themselves, I know this because I have done this. But when confronted by something you are truly phobic of then it is hard to hide it!!

[Agartha]

True sweety, we are all guilty of that! lol

And yes, you are correct, debilitating phobias cannot be swept under the rug!!

[Monk (in hiding)]

Some people hide well..and keep it locked and then..boom

Yeah, waiting for the 'boom' with my best so called friend. Can an extreme narcissist really care about anyone, I'm thinking NO!

[Monk (in hiding)]

No, not everybody have phobias.......just like not everybody have diabetes........not everybody is tall.........not everybody has blonde hair.

Only around 7% of populations in the West have phobias. But there's nothing embarrassing about it.....in fact 1 in 4 of us will develop a mental illness at any point in our lives, we just have to meet the ideal conditions.

I, so far have no phobias, nothing that debilitates me or prevents me from living my life to the full........but I have no guarantees that I will never develop one.

So now having a phobia is mental illness. lol

Like sweating, heart racing and thinking you may pass out while being in the supermarket.

Yes, some people have such strong panic attacks they think they are literally going to die

VM, phobias are the most common mental disorder, but my point was that to me mental disorders are not taboo....they happen all the time and they can happen to anybody.

You just answered and I bet you are FULL of hang ups.

[Stirky]

We all have hang ups, it's just the way we are. Anybody can have a mental issue, some people obviously get them much worse that others (ending up in hospital etc). It is a subject that people do not like to discuss, but talking about it makes it better and makes people understand what a struggle some people have on a daily basis.

Only good discussing if all parties reveal their true inner selves.

[Stirky]

It's all down to the individual, they are the only one that can get to the point where they want to get better and allow the help in
