I've developed a phobia of things exploding. Like, putting gas in my car will by terrifying because I'm afraid the gas station is going to blow up. Or if someone drops a lit cigarette I'll be terrified of it because I'm afraid the stupid cigarette is going to explode. It's not all the time, but when I'm feeling especially bad. My fear of heights, which I've always had, gets worse when then too.

I have a problem. Since I was involved in an accident beginning of december (not intentional, but at least a large part my fault or me being what set it in motion), I can't pass the street anymore, I can't go for a break at work, I'm scanning for a guy who chased me, & I'm dreading further fall out.
Does anyone know what to do? :(

I used to be terrified of spiders... like I would have a panic attack and had passed out from seeing one before
I still don't like them, but they don't seem so scary anymore

I have all kinds of phobias which are related to what happened to me.
One is knives. For a long time I couldn't stand seeing knives sitting in the knife holder on the countertop. That's better now yet I still hate touching knives. My father used different types of knives to do awful things to children. I wont go into details here. He had wood-carving, hunting, and fishing knives.
Fear of open water and riding in a boat over it. Relates directly to what I saw my father do on his boat.
Paper cuts. Relates to being abused with paper. Just mentioning it now makes me cringe.
Bugs, spiders, etc. crawling on me. My father used to bury me underground and pour live things on top of me. Now though my husband got me a special weapon to take care of creepy crawlies. It's called an A-Salt-Gun. You load it with salt and fire it at the bugs.
Lot's of other phobias too numerous to list which relate directly to the abuse by my father.

I have several phobias now- some related, and most not (as least not in my understanding). Many are related to high-frequency or loud sounds, causing my sensitive hearing to make my brain shut down in fear.

I'm scared of getting wet now. I only shower when absolutely necessary and I dread it til I'm in it then I'm fine. I can't take my kids swimming. No reason I can identify.

I don't think I've ever had any phobias?
