Necrophobia,
is
also known as Fear of Death and Fear of Dead Things.
It is a surprisingly common phobia. If you have this phobia,
you can suffer from panic attacks, and it may cause you to isolate
yourself from your family and friends. Symptoms include:
shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating,
nausea and an overall feeling of dread. Your
fear of dead things is created by your subconscious mind, and it is
a defense mechanism that makes you avoid certain situations.
Probably, sometime in your past, you experienced a moment when a
death or seeing a dead thing caused you lots of emotional
trauma. In other words, you probably had the stuffing scared
out of you by some real-life brush with death or something
dead! This may not always be the case, though, as some people
experience this phobia after seeing something really grisly on TV or
in a movie. You
may suffer from this phobia all the time, or you may only suffer if
something triggers your fear, like a close call with a dead animal
or the funeral of a loved one or friend. In any case, if this
fear is getting in the way of your daily life, please seek
professional help and/or counseling. |
