Last year I tackled mental health with the hopes of shining a different light on the subject.

This year I decided to take on our worst fears and create 31 phobias.

I kinda like this one, because the eytes are actually on the persons body, hence, they are actually looking at anything but the person. It shows the irrationality of the fear (somewhat at least, I dont know much about it).

This is so sad - swimming in the sea use to be one of my most favourite things and now I'm so scared that I can even go deeper than ankles ;( where does this fear come from?

I have this!!!!! I'm scared of when everyone vomits, whenever there is vomit I am as far away as I can get! But I'm so thankful usually I get diarrhoea instead of vomiting!

I have Pseudo Tumor Celebi..... my brain/nerves, are slowly decorating over time, and they started to affect my speech and words months ago, I stay mute now cause if I try to talk it comes out mixed up or the words will be messed, I used to be able to sing, really good too.... it took that all way...... if I do talk, to like friends, there super careful not to point out how I miss my words, even typing I mess them, you can see how online that can be horrible to someone like that

that is so sad to read :( I am so sorry. Please don't be mute..your loved ones and friends sure will understand and maybe help if you mess up your words. I often get words wrong or in the middle of a sentence just forgot the word..It's feeling weird

http://www.phobiasource.com/verbophobia-fear-of-words/ Another article also said something about psychological abuse, and that certain words/sentences could be linked to a trauma etc. (Not sure if it helps, but this is what I could find about it. Didn't know this one before)

I love words, reading them and trying to use them inwriting but I have a terrible fear of speaking them. I never learned how to use phonics so I can’t sound out a word and I am deathly afraid of mispronouncing words out loud in front of people.

That must be tough. Are these long, difficult to pronounce words that you aren’t familiar with?

WOW! People with this would hate my old spelling class. We would spell the top 10 longest words. It was a comp to see how could find the longest word
