Re: Irrational Fears

Omg, I had the same thing with toilets?? It wasn't specifically about a monster but I was afraid of flushing the toilet. I still get a bit anxious when I do it as an adult sometimes but I can rationally calm myself. My fear also extends to all drains, I have a general phobia of... plumbing? I have something adjacent to submechanophobia, idk how to describe it, but I can relate to people who are scared of that type of thing. I have ended up coping with it by learning about hydraulics and water related infrastructure, cause my fear-fascination was so bad that learning more about how the things I'm scared of work helped me see them in a more rational light. Plus working jobs where I had to take care of blocked drains now and again. If I'm actually around a big drain though my heart races...

I think for me part of this fear is related to childhood associations with bad experiences that my kid brain distorted into a phobia, but part of it is just a fear from nowhere. It's odd.
