What are the names of strange phobias out there and tell me if you have one, and describe it, please. Or if you have one that you don't know the name of. I have a phobia of swimming in open waters, e.g the lakes, rivers or the ocean. And I absolutely can never swim in the dark, even in the security of a swimming pool. I could get a panic attack and drown. And I'm a very good swimmer! Does anyone know the name of this phobia?

I have the phobia of height, If I am on a very high place(with respect to the height of the place) I feel like jumping from that place, so I avoid looking down from a place which is at a very high attitude.

Yours is strange. I have that too but the vertigo makes me nautious and I want to get to lower ground. But not by jumping down from there! Stay off the high places, pal. We don't wanna lose you yet. You have an impact to make in this world, and not a dent on the pavement! Cheers!
