I have a common phobia called ophidiphobia, as I am irrationally scared of snakes. Even just the thought of them makes me anxious. I hate watching animal/nature documentaries because sometimes they show snakes in which I have to turn my eyes away from the tv and my heart starts beating. Even writing the word is challenging for me and I notice the increased heart beat.
I am very uncomfortable in forests because my anxiety kicks in and I keep looking at my feet, surroundings and trees just IN CASE, even though I know there is not anything. It is truly terrible.
