    Phobias are the most common anxiety disorder and it estimated that 8.7% and 18.1% of Americans suffer from this disorder though few ever seek treatment.

    The most common phobias include:

    * Achluophobia - fear of being in darkness
    * Acrophobia - fear of heights
    * Agoraphobia - fear of open spaces or fear of leaving home
    * Claustrophobia - fear of being in closed spaces
    * Demophobia - fear of being in crowded places
    * Mysophobia - fear of germs or dirt
    * Social phobia - fear of being around unfamiliar people in social situations
    * Xenophobia - fear of strangers


    And there is panophobia which is a fear of everything.

    I don't like going on the Tube, I don't like walking over walkways where you can see through the bottom like the bridges you get over busy roads

    I hate spiders.

    I don't like heights either, but only when I'm on something that moves. Ie escalators or glass lifts.

    But I'm a bit crazy atm so I have moments I'm scared of everything
