Change in phobias | Arthritis Information

 

You know how when you go to sleep and you get little muscles spasms and it feels like something is under the blanket. You would think you would get used to it after a hundred or so years but not. I freak out and have to lift up the whole blanket sometimes and check and then wrap myself up in it like a pig in blanket. I mean i did not have mice in Ill maybe once or twice in my life time one snuck in and was quickly no longer a problem. So i know it is unwarrented and silly busness but still what can i say it is a phobia. Well there was a gieco under my desk last week. SO now instead of mouse phobia i have gieco phobia. My sister saw me freak out like this a few years ago. I just jumped up out of bed and was shaking out the blankets. I probably was like kicking my legs around first and jumping around. She's like what? what? I said pay no attention it is a personel problem. That's not a phobia - that's a real fear!  You experienced the mouse and the gecko!  I, however, will develop a phobia about it as its just yucky!

Well alright. When i was a kid i told my mom there was a mouse in my room. My parents must have been ummmm preoccupied at the time. Mom hollered well go sleep on the couch. Well i was on the couch and the mouse ran across the top of the couch. That was my first mouse experience. And my parents door was locked. That was the first time i ever noticed my parents door was locked also. I should have just started screaming and banging on the door but instead i went in to a panic attack and was just probably four years old. So thats what it is all about. So everytime my muscles start twitching i think something is under my blanket.Milly, you're making me think of my daughter when she was little.  I'd have to practically strip her bed every night so she could see there were no spiders.When I was a teenager I had a hamster that used to escape it's cage at night and run across me while I was sleeping but I thought I was imagining something. Every morning it was snug back in the habitrail. Yes Link thats me. I have to take everything off totally inspect every inch of bedding and the bed. Then i roll myself up in the blanket so nothing can get me. LOL I am not afraid of little creatures while i am awake it's just a sleeping thing.[QUOTE=Linncn]Milly, you're making me think of my daughter when she was little.  I'd have to practically strip her bed every night so she could see there were no spiders.[/QUOTE]
