a list of the phobias i struggle with:

agoraphobia - fear of open spaces, public spaces, in areas with no exits, etc.. altocelarophobia - fear of high ceilings acrophobia - fear of heights batophobia - fear of tall buildings emetophobia - fear of vomit pseudodysphagia - fear of choking when eating or getting choked deipnophobia - fear of eating in front of others/fear of eating in public megalophobia - fear of large objects (similiar to batophobia imo) monophobia - fear of being alone thanatophobia - fear of death xenophobia - fear of the unknown gerascophobia - fear of growing up

i'm a complex person. i feel so alone in this.

God i wish i could play motorslice so badly, it’s so cool but i’m holding off on it due to a mix of wanting to save my funds (+not being able to add apple cash to steam from what i know) and knowing that those environments would set off my altocelarophobia (i think also a mix of batophobia and mayybe megalophobia but i’m unsure) BAAADLY. Ig i’ll just have to resort to making slicer-p fanart bc she’s cute

agoraphobia and altacelarophobia

i've been noticing (actually for a long time) that my panic attacks are typically in open spaces (e.g. walmart, kroger, malls, parking lots, middle of no where), fluorescent lighting, and high ceiling enclosed places (e.g. arenas, gym, walmart, malls, etc..) which is interesting. i mean, i know that i have agoraphobia, but i'm starting to wonder if i also have altacelarophobia (fear of high ceilings) even though, i don't really have a fear of high ceilings itself, but they're definitely a trigger in some cases? but in some cases, that's not the case. i just like to be in places that are cozy and make me feel like i'm at home?? so whenever i'm at these HUGE stores with such openness and highness - i feel so exposed, i feel small, i feel unsafe, i feel attacked, and i feel like my comfort zone is being threatened. it's really a weird thing to explain. i know that it's hard to explain the sensations in these situations because describing personal emotions/feelings can be hard. i don't even understand why agoraphobia overthrows me. i used to be able to go anywhere or do anything.

As somebody who has had a profound phobia to tall buildings and cathedrals in particular (a phobia that has gotten better but will probably never go completely away), I’m finding the pictures of Notre Dame to be triggering in ways that are hard to explain.

Altocelarophobia is an unusual vertigo-like feelingthat happens while being in places with high ceilings or while being close to very tall buildings. I have dealt with this since I was small and it wasn't until some years ago people around me started to understand it. Fortunately I can control it enough so I don’t get paralyzed of fear in the middle of a church or mall.

Altocelarophobia

Apparently the fear of getting sucked into high ceilings is an actual phobia. I have moments of intense vertigo but I can typically deal with it. Unless the floors are smooth and glossy.

Good luck getting me into an extremely clean and fancy Costco.
