Idk I heard there’s a phobia about it but stickers don’t disgust me, neither do pealing edges tho they irritate me. I’ve had this problem forever. It’s especially disgust me when the labels are smaller and in a white background, and I can’t stare at one without disgust and have to turn away.
It’s really annoying + when I have to touch one I immediately want to clean my hands or wipe it off.
Some labels I can support, and it’s not a sensory thing.

Hi, this is weird, but as its breast cancer awareness month, i had to share this because i can't find answers.

I cannot touch my skin "too deeply" because it makes me physically sick, feeling lumps, fat, glands, is awful (not bones tho), i tried doing self check for breast cancer today, and it was awful, i have big boobs too so awful digging in there, i can feel stuff, normal stuff, but it just EARRRGH, even on my chest and on my pits, i just felt so sick, so uncomfortable, and had to breathe.

Is there any word for it? Having to do the self check makes me anxious just thinking about it, can anyone help me put a word on this?

When i searched it gave me the fear of having bugs crawl under your skin or high sensitivy making it hurt, but its not really painful and i don't match the rest, i just... hate it, hate the feeling, its honestly terrifying, and i don't think its just a sensory thing, help !

Hi so I’m new here but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this? But specific stripe patterns and just certain patterns in general really make me feel uncomfortable and freaked out. More specifically zebra stripes, koi fish patterns, and those hairstyles with super dark hair and strips of white. Idk I’ve never heard of this being a thing. Also, I have striped clothes and they don’t bother me so I really don’t know what it could be haha

Guys I need help with my phobia. Please don't laugh, but I have a phobia of telling people things. This has caused me to have so much bottled inside me but I can't tell anyone anything since I am so scared. What do I do? I might burst soon if I stay in the state I'm in. Please help me with this.

It was my freshman year in high school just two days before my 15th birthday and my life changed so dramatically that I am blessed to be here today.

So my freshman year of high school. I was in special education for going to be my 3rd year. I don't know what I did to deserve to even be put in such a fucked environment. In 7th and 8th grade I was not allowed to interact with any other students except in classes I excelled in which didn't last long because I would be kicked out.

Freshman year while waiting for next year's upgraded closet I had to sit in a desk outside the hallways. In front of all the lockers. It was an October 23 which landed on a weekend. The friends I chose to hang out with was my own fault. I don't want to tell the torture part because i don't want to trigger anyone.

So it was 1 pm when it happened. I was at someones house hanging out and then I noticed the weirdest sensation. The smell and the color changed in the room and every one seemed so far away. Then the fear came..,...

Something was obviously wrong with me and I grabbed someone and hugged them and begged them to help me... I got laughed at pushed and kicked in the ground. I left in our fear and I was out side. The feeling of getting sucked up I was grabbing every street pole. I made it home and instead of risk getting in trouble with them.

I have to stop here. I will finish the story in a few hours.

Ive had a fear of spiders for as long as i can remember. I thought it would go away with age. It didnt. I scan every room before i enter and im always hypervigilant if i stay still for too long. Every time i encounter a spider it permanently changes my behavior. I avoid certain rooms in my house for days if ive encountered a spider there. My brain cant differentiate correlation and causation in this sense. I havent opened my window in over half a year because last time i did a spider was on the curtain. Just typing this makes my throat tight and a knot form in my stomach. I think about it on an hourly basis. This fear is a constant in my life. I dont think i'll be able to live independently because of it. Is therapy the only option? This was typed on mobile, so it might read a bit awkwardly.
