Chronophobia - day 20 of #inktober / #feartober . 🕕Amnclothing.com🕕 book release Nov. 1! -------- Chronophobia is a specific psychological phobia which manifests itself as a persistent, abnormal and unwarranted fear of time or of the passing of time. A related but much rarer phobia is chronomentrophobia, the irrational fear of clocks and watches. Like many other phobias, the main symptoms include panic, unease, depression, anxiety, and often a feeling of claustrophobia (of being closed in, with no escape). In some more serious cases, individuals may experience shaking, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, irregular heartbeats, even sickening states of mind, inability to articulate words, tunnel vision and overwhelmingly haunting thoughts. Sufferers may be aware of a vague feeling that events are moving too fast and running away with themselves, and that it is difficult to make sense of the way events are unfolding. Chronophobia is often marked by a sense of derealization in which time seems to speed up or slow down, and some people may develop circular thought patterns, racing thoughts and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. #inktober #feartober #inktoberphobias #shawncossart #jakeparker #creepyart #whatsyourfear #inkart #inktober2017 #popeofhell_art #chronophobia

Athazagoraphobia - day 7 of #inktober / #feartober . All month I'm creating art depicting a new phobia. Athazagoraphobia is the fear of being forgotten or ignored and fear of forgetting. Athazagoraphobia is considered to be a specific phobia, which is discussed on the home page. Athazagoraphobia is a surprisingly common phobia. It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and internal predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of phobias. #inktober #feartober #inktoberphobias #shawncossart #jakeparker #creepyart #whatsyourfear #inkart #popeofhell_art

Verbophobia - day 23 of #inktober / #feartober . ⚰️Amnclothing.com⚰️ FearTober book release Nov. 1! Join the mailing list to get early Access! Verbophobia is defined as the profound fear of words of which there are several causes. One is that a person might never had the chance to learn how to read. This is more common in third world countries and they fear it because they know that they do not know. They cannot understand words when they see them and they are embarrassed about it. Another reason is they might be held responsible if they have read something that they were not supposed to read that have led to an unpleasant event. One example might be accidentally reading from a medical chart that one is afflicted with a terminal disease and accidentally telling this to that person when family members have done their best to keep the truth from him or her and as a result caused them to blame you for telling. This can lead a person to fear reading so that the less then know, the safer they feel. This can be a learned behavior or could have been passed on from one generation to another, or could have been observed through other people. People with this fear will try their best not to read books, newspapers, magazines, or even feel uneasy when watching a movie that has subtitles in them. They can manifest as trembling, palpitations, restlessness, shortness of breath, or even sometimes uncontrollable panic attacks. #inktober #feartober #inktoberphobias #shawncossart #jakeparker #creepyart #whatsyourfear #inkart #inktober2017 #verbophobia #popeofhell_art

Claustrophobia - day 4 of #inktober / #feartober . All month I'm creating art depicting a new phobia. Claustrophobia is the fear of being enclosed in a small space or room and unable to escape.[1] It can be triggered by many situations or stimuli, including elevators crowded to capacity, windowless rooms, small cars and even tight-necked clothing.[2] It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder, which often results in panic attacks. The onset of claustrophobia has been attributed to many factors, including a reduction in the size of the amygdala, classical conditioning, or a genetic predisposition to fear small spaces. #inktober #feartober #inktoberphobias #shawncossart #jakeparker #creepyart #whatsyourfear #inkart #popeofhell_art #crushed #claustrophobia
