I knew what my phobia was when the paranoia started. For this there are two situations. 1, normal and not scary, and 2, scary. I am just sitting in a not scary situation but my mind plays tricks on me and makes me feel unsafe anyway. I pretty much rock back and fourth while crying and hyperventilating. I tried to face it one time, but my body froze. I sat for 15 minutes crying and trying to do it, but I was too scared after I did it so I never tried to do it again.
I myself have a phobia of doctors and hospitals (when i was in highschool i avoided becoming part of the softball team, because i had to get a physical) and I have a phobia of snakes as well because i was traumatized in Sunday school when i was 5 or 6 trying to forget that day but i remember it like it was yesterday. In my home country the roofs have a gap on the top for ventilation, a snake got into the church and the moment the instructors said there was a snake in there I ran like my life depended on it back to my house, I got cold hands and i was shaking.
