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.

The difference between a common fear and a phobia is that a phobia interferes with your ability to live a normal life. For instance - I definitely am disgusted by closely packed holes and this sketch made me nauseous, but I am able to look at it (quickly) and just go 'blech!' So - a common fear. If I had been phobic, this image would have triggered a panic attack, or caused me to lose control of my bodily functions or something similar. I squeal like a girl when I see a spider, but can catch them in a glass no problem (common fear) my mom wets herself and faints if she sees one (phobia). You are normal, don't worry :)

Yes I think it's an inborn disgust of stuff that looks like skin disease or similar stuff, sponges don't bother me either.

Is it different when you have this fear except with bumps rather than holes?

I have it too. But, a noticeable thing here is that one will not know that he/she has this phobia unless they see an image/object that triggers it. It's not the deadliest but it's scary enough and it's worse when it's on the human skin.

I wasn't prepared for this one... I have this severely, so much so that certain things make me physically sick. And then I think of holes on the skin with bugs or seeds and I swear I just sent myself into a panic. This one is awful to have.

Seeing some of the images that are associated with this fear make my skin feel as though it's crawling. I really, really don't like it O.o
