I'm Currently Feeling: | Veins. The inside of my wrist is the worst.. I can't touch it. If a doctor tries to feel my pulse, I go crazy. If I see someone touching their wrist or with a tattoo there, I go really dizzy and sick. If someone does touch my wrist and presses it lightly, I completely freak out and panic and within about 30 secs I've fainted lol. I really struggle with blood tests because of my phobia of veins, it makes me feel soo ill, I go white as a sheet lol.
I also can't stand the backs of my knees or the back of my heels being touched, I freak out.
And I can't stand the feeling of rubbing cotton wool together or people flicking their nails *shudders* |

When I was younger I sometimes used to set off walking up the stairs & Id suddenly think 'OMG! I didnt count the stairs' so I had to go backwards (to undo the steps Id already taken)  and start again to make sure I took an even number of steps
I eventually grew out of it thank god! but even to this day I have to make sure the volume on the TV is an even number or I start to panic! Crazy eh?!!  xx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I HATE fabric across my fingers. It drives me batty! It's very hard to rub someones back unless it's under their clothes which sucks when I want to rub Damien's back. But I can't even rub my own clothes.
I also have a fear of telephones. Well calling people on them. I can answer them no problem but I have anxiety attacks whenever I have to call anybody not in my immediate family. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I also have a weird issue with odd and even numbers. The volume always has to be on an even number, I count lots of stuff (so does DH). I also HATE feet. I cant stand looking at feet, and there is no way they would be coming near me. YUCK! Also, when someone burps I have to like blow it away from me. I've been doing it as long as I can remember. My guy friends used to always turn the volume on odd and hold me down and burp near me! I know they were teasing me, but it was awful! I hated it. I'm really weird... Oh! When DH is putting water or soda or any beverage in the fridge, he has to turn them all perfectly so that the labels are perfectly straight forward. He's weird too. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I have a real phobia of cows  People think I'm nuts but I freak out just driving past a field that they're in. We used to live in rural Devon and the farmer used to take his cows down the lane for milking, I used to hide in my bedroom with the door locked til he'd gone so they couldn't get in  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i have a really bad phobia of fish, and to make it worse we have a big pond full of huge ones in my back garden ! I used to have nightmares when i was little of me running and jumping into this *pond* thinking it was apool then feel all these fish swimming around me like they are getting me, and i would try my hardest to swim to the edge but i could never make it, it just got bigger and bgger untill id finally wake up LOL !
Also feet, i cant stand feet. i cant stand looking at or touching anyone elses feet, and i cant stand people touching mine, it makes me shivver eek !
And sick, urghhhh. I hate it when i feel/am sick as it is ( god knows how id cope if i was actually sick with my m/s !) But worst of all when people feel or are sick, if someone feels sick i cant go by them at all untill they feel better, including my family ! and if someone has been sick, i dont speak to go near them for the day ! Its so weird ! That is my worst fear of my life !
Now everyones like well your gonna have alott of sick to be cleaning when baby comes, uh ohh lol ! i guess its different when its your own though, its got to be done ! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Shopping centre or shops in general door handles - you know the big silver handles that are all fingerprints and grease!!!! YYYYYYUUUURRRRRRGGGH I HATE IT!!!
I refuse to use public toilets and if i really really have to i just hover over the loo
I am germ phobic, I wash my hands like a zillion times a day.
Im also a bit obsessive compulsive!!
Oh and if i have a bath i have to then have a shower as well cos i dont feel completely clean!
And I dont use moisturiser on my body or hands because it gives me the creeps!!
I also have to clean the same thing in the same order each time i do housework - ie clean bath, sink toilet, hoover all rooms, wash floor in bathroom, kitchen, hall, livingroom - never in a different order!!
Clothes pegs - i use red, yellow, green, blue in that order and i never hang a garment out using different colour pegs, they have to be the same. OH thinks this one is the weirdest!!
I could go on but i wont  |

Think its because my dad was really loud when he was sick!! |
