I Have A Weird Phobia

My Fear Since I Was 4

Written on February 15th, 2013
I have a fear of submerged objects specifically sunken ships and rocks. I am a sailor and have been since I was 4. But my fear builds and builds as I hear about all these boats sinking or getting stuck on a reef. Just thinking about the fact that I could be sailing along and its such a nice day and all of a sudden my boat hits rocks and just stops is terrifying for me. It sends shivers down my spine. I have hit rocks a few times, nothing catastrophic, but ever since my fear just grows. I no longer sail or even swim because it has gotten so bad.

    You seem to have a fear of suffocating or having your air supply cut off. Did someone try to strangle you?
