A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder. It is a strong, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. There are many specific phobias. Acrophobia is a fear of heights. You may be able to ski the world's tallest mountains but be unable to go above the 5th floor of an office building. Agoraphobia is a fear of public places, and claustrophobia is a fear of closed-in places. If you become anxious and extremely self-conscious in everyday social situations, you could have a social phobia. Other common phobias involve tunnels, highway driving, water, flying, animals and blood.

People with phobias try to avoid what they are afraid of. If they cannot, they may experience

Panic and fear
Rapid heartbeat
Shortness of breath
Trembling
A strong desire to get away

Treatment helps most people with phobias. Options include medicines, therapy or both.

Resolved Question: I have to get over my fear of blood tests. How? (Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:42:21 GMT)
Enough is enough. After 25 years of being teriffied of needles I MUST conquer this! It is a real phobia of mine, and unfortunately I have to have blood tests fairly frequently due to several health problems. Today I was so anxious that they couldn't get blood from my veins, not enough for a full sample anyway. Two different nurses tried, they ended up sticking me four times in two arms. Blood actually spurted out of one at the end (the one that actually gave them a bit). I have had blood ta

Even though I'm an atheist, i'm starting to see that something is wrong with many atheists because for some reason, they HATE for anyone to mention the truth about gays..if not, they are most definetely BIAS against any information that puts gays in a negative light regardless of how truth it is 1.

Currently I'm studying fashion design; I'm in the end of my 2nd year and would be going into my 3rd year in a few months.

Even before that I'd noticed a change in her;

Resolved Question: Why did God make me so pathetic? (Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:21:58 GMT)
My earliest years were really shaky as my mum was an alcoholic and my parents divorced when I was 1/2. I was in foster care for a couple of years then mum died and my dad took us in, then he neglected and hit us. My aunt took me in and I felt relatively normal. I did OK and got into a decent school. But as a child I always took myself and life far too seriously. I'm not sure if that is just the way I am or if it was a survival mechanism. As I went through secondary school (11+) I didn't really

Resolved Question: What IS intelligence? (Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:50:49 GMT)
I believe that true intelligence will always be impossible to measure. IQ tests measure only a person's processing ability and problem-solving skills, which is a limited measure of overall intelligence. A person may be slightly slower than another, but that doesn't mean that if he focuses his energies he cannot achieve more than the person who is considered to be smarter. IQ is like a processor inside of a computer... our brains run at different speeds but can perform the same tasks given time
