Sometimes Fears can be more broad concepts such as Fear of Getting Sick, or something like Fear of Heights.

Fear of Long Road Trips
If you are someone with a Fear of Long Road Trips you might want to avert your eyes for the next few paragraphs. Picture this: you have been in a car travelling for almost four hours. You are with two people you know and one of their friends you’ve just met earlier that morning. Outside, […]
Fear of What Is Under the Bed
Having a Fear of What is Under the Bed can originate from so many causes and circumstances. For example, you know when it’s late at night, you’re tired, and all you want to do is go to bed? So you find the strength to get up off of the couch, check that the front door […]
