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 :o
