Embarrassing much?

Ok here goes nothing...

i have a strange phobia. i fear that when i sit down to go to the restroom some type of creature is going to eat me...

this started when i was about three, my brother told me about a 'toilet monster' and i still believe him..

idk i get made fun of alot for it but i want to know if anyone has a simialar fear.
and if so how do you deal with the horrible panic attacks?

Well ... im not scared of sitting on the toliet ..but i am afraid of the dark.. and im 16 almost 17.... ever since i watched the Exorcism, im afraid that somethings going to come and get me. =/

^ To origional poster. I used to be afraid of the 'toilet monster' when I was a wee lad. My dad always told me never to sit down and flush or a serpent would climp up my butt and eat me from the inside. o.O Damn my dad was an ass hole. Lol

Lol that just sounds funny reading it.. im sorry.

*sigh* lols My cousions told me all the time when I was really little that if I swallowed my watermelon seeds that a watermelon plant would start growing in my stomach and come out my nose and ears lols I was terrifided of swallowing them most of my life and although I know better now i still refuse to swallow them because of those old fears lols And I'm 17! =P

Hmm sorry i never had a simialr.. but i sue to be afraid of pool drains and would never swim near them because i ehard the story of the kids intestines being sucked out of them o.o

Gross X.x where did you hear that from?

K.. I had a similar fear.
Like I thought that if I sat on the toilet too long a crocodile would come up from his sewer home and bite my bum.
But as I grew up and I realized how impossible it is I got over it a little.
Lol. Im still known for how fast I can pee =P

( It's crazy what we can believe or our imaginations create)

I had a similar. lol.
after i watched the "dream catcher" and "it".
i'm afraid of the toliet and the drains and sewwers...
haha.

haha. :)

Can't really say I've had similiar experience with the fear factor. Though I do remember after watching "snakes on a plane", one of the most boring movies ever, I checked the bathroom for any stray snakes, better be safe that have a snake bite me in the ...... while i'm taking a piss. ;p

Atleast you can sleep and you don't have horrible nightmares....from meds perscription meds. yea cuz now i got anxiety and they gave me th e wrong shit ughh i stopped taking them and im all good.

HaHa, i myself often look down the toilet before using it , because i think that a 'Rat' is going to bite my privates lmao.

Much Love_____Jady Lauren x

I've always had the irrational fear that if I put a lighter in my pocket and accidently bumped into something or leaned on it, my pants would explode.

And I was scared of tarantulas coming out of the toilet from age 6 to age 11. I still get scared when I go camping.

I saw a tv segment when I was younger about a woman whose little boy found a boa constructer in their toilet. He closed the lid and ran for his mom and the snake went back up the pipes.

I'm still terrified of finding a snake in the toilet every single day. And I'm 18 and I live in Canada loll

I can't say I'm afraid of using the toilet but I can't be alone in a room with a TV, specially an old one.
The Ring has traumatized me o.O
Nor can I look at the mirror at night....

I was always afraid to flush when i was little, because i watched what was it, dogma? with the poop monster? and so i would either not flush at all, or flush and run like the wind.

I am afriad to be in my pool alone b cuz idk its like i see this swirling black thing and i think its going to be a voldemort type character that will come out of the water and drown me and i am 14

^
i agree..
ii;;m terrified of squirels. i swear there gonna take over the world.

Okay here goes:
My brother was talkinga bout how he hid in the shower once when we were playing hide and seek and my dad went into the bathroom and took a crap while my bro was hiding in the shower! I was told this when I was 8. Not I am 13 and 5 years later, I STILL look behind the curtain EVERY time i use the bathroom. On youtube, I watched a video with a clown behind the cutain. I get so scared if I don't look that I'll freeze up and start silently crying. It's not so hard on me now that I have a clear shower curtain. *smile* Also, I can't stand dark spaces. I can be in one but I imagine hands or beetles touching me. *shudders* Eeeuuuuggghh. I terrify myself to the extream.

Oh and I agree with the pool drain kid. This falls under the dark-spaces thing. ANY black hold I can't see into scares the living day lights out of me. Drains, EMPTY LIGHT SOCKETS IN THE POOL, at the caves, closets, windows. Anything that has the it-can-see-you-but-you-can't-see-it status. Eeeeee..... *shiverssssss*
