I have been searching all over the net for someone who also has a
MASSIVE phobia of looking at ships and boats.
As far as I know i've never had any sort of traumatic experience with
one, but ever since I was very tiny I remember being scared of looking
at them.
I went on a school trip a couple of years ago and we had to go on a
ferry. I literally had some sort of panic attack on the coach when I
saw it. I curled up into a ball on my seat and stayed put till we were
on it. Once I was on it, I was absolutly fine until a few people tried
to get me to go on the deck then I freaked out again. Even if I see a
ship on TV I go mad...It actually brings tears to my eyes if I see one.
I would be really interrested if anyone knows the name of this phobia
as my friends all think I'm stupid.
