Ok i know a lot of people who have phobia's but i have never met someone with the same phobia as mine, and it's actually getting quite annoying and i would like some advice on how to overcome it.
So don't laugh - but i have a really wierd fear of silence. I always have to have music on or a TV on in the background. It started as a dislike to silence and it's now growing. I can't sleep unless there is noise, and it can't even be a repetitive noise like a clock or things.
It is growing though, i feel physically sick and panic if there is silence - like when i walk into my flat after turning my walkman off and on the way to turn the radio on. I don't know why and it is really starting to get stupid.
Anyone else share a stupid phobia such as mine? Or have any ideas what to do about it? (Or even know if it has a name - like claustrophobia and such?)

i've had several friends that had the same thing w/ touching their neck and all they would completely flip out! Anyway i have a few phobias myself my worst one probably being of dentists, don't laugh. i get so nervous about it that i think i'm about to faint when i'm there and by time i sit in the chair i'm so tired from being nervous that i have no energy and almost fall asleep while in the chair or doze off!
i guess it's b/c i can't really see what they are doing and the bright lights and metal things and yeah everything! i'm also afraid of spiders and heights but not as much. I also think i have alittle bit of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) it's not a phobia or anything but it's another quirk. though my room and be completely spattered w/ dirty clothes but if my rug or coasters aren't exactly were they should be (like straight and all) then i freak and have to fix it, yeah that's me and my weirdness.

i have a few phobias two of which are rather common two of which arent
the first two are hieghts and spiders the heights issue isnt as bad as it used to be but the spider phobia is horrible heres an example : about a month ago i was staying at my grandmothers house and i was slepping in the living room. the only light on was the fish tank and that cast shadows on everything i was staring at the roof and i saw this thing. at the time i thawt it was a bloody mutational cockaroach so i picked up my torch and shone it at the roof . no [censored] this damn spider was about the size of me frigin forearm. i started screaming and crying hysterically. my gramma had to let me sleep in her room because the spider crawled under the couch and ther was no fuking way i was slepping in that living room.
anyways the other two arachibutyrophobia and golf buggies
arachibutyrophobia is fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. mine is sort of wierd cause its not the sticking to the roof of my mouth part of it, its the choking to death on it part. peanut butter is scary
the reason why im afraid of golf buggies is because a while ago when i was visting an island with some friends we hired out a buggy so we could drive everywhere. by the time we went to take it back we were all rather drunk anyways cutting a corner i suddenly flew out of the buggy knocking myself unconcious and injuryig me quite badly. neways the next day the doctor was driving me back home in his buggy and all of a sudden as soon as the buggy took off i started to panic i was on the edge of hyperventilation it was fuking scary i tell you ne ways this is prolly the longest post ive ever posted
i apoligise and on the freaky fears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Pink, nothing you do or say is stupid including whatever phobias or insecurities you may have. You are a lovely person and I will not tolerate this self degregation of such a sweetie.

I have to have sound too! but for me its different, cause i can sing to myself and be ok, which might be the reason im always singing nonstop. But when its not quite, as i noticed before i started typing, i was singing in my head, and i could hear it in my head so it didnt seem quite to me. Im also sorta obsesive compulsive i think. I have to have some things perfect, and sometimes i feel something wrong will happen if i dont tap the wall, or turn something over, but i have no cause to do it and i tell myself its just silly, but i still do it sometimes.
Not a phobia, or an order, but a lot of times i will read something on HOP, write up a really long reply and delete it and feel happy just saying what i said to myself.

Oh, Pink, it must be hard work being afraid of silence 
Maybe its like giving up smoking, impossible to fix until you really are ready to do it and get the tools you need to help.....
My fear is generally deep water, and specifically being inside a car which crashes into water. Think it stems from my Dad explaining to us when we were little kids what you should do if that happens, prolly never would have thought of it otherwise

I have a phobia of cracking plastic bags on television.
I have more that are just as bizarre but this will just get embarrasing.

i'm scared of the dark which i guess isn't that uncommon, but it's better since i moved in with John last year...
John has a weird one- chairs with no one in them. He says they look like they're completely self sufficiant, like they're actually crouching there and they don't need a person, so they could be alive and thinking and stuff.
Weird, but a bit freaky.
