What Is Your Phobia? Ramble On by

Since the dawn of time, humans have developed emotions to a variety of events. We all know of love, hate, happiness, and sadness. But what about fear? What is your biggest phobia?

A phobia is an anxiety disorder involving excessive and persistent fear of a situation or object. Exposure to the source of the fear triggers an immediate anxiety response.

The American Psychiatry Association identifies three different categories of phobias:

1. Social phobias: Now known as anxiety disorder, this phobia is marked by a fear of social situations in which a person might be judges or embarrassed.

2 Agoraphobia: This phobia involves an irrational and extreme fear of being in places where escape is difficult. It may involve a fear of crowded places or even leaving one’s home.

3.Specific phobias: When people talk about having a phobia of a specific object such as

spiders, snakes, or needles, they are referring to a specific phobia.

One important thing to remember is

Here is a short list of some of the more common phobias: Acrophobia: Fear of heights;

that virtually any object can become a fear object.

The name of specific phobias are often formed as nonce words, or words coined for a single occasion only.

Aerophobia: Fear of flying; Anthropophobia: Fear of society or people; Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders; Belonephobia: Fear of pins or needles; Bibliophobia: Fear of books (I know a few of

y’all); Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns; Cyberphobia: Fear of computers (Again, I know many elderly that suffer from this); Gamophobia: Fear of marriage; Glossophobia: Fear of speaking in public

While this is a very short list of the different types of phobias, treatments are available. There is exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, and finally medications.

Phobias can have a serious impact on well-being, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. They are common and treatable. If you believe that you have the symptoms of phobia, consult with a doctor for evaluation and treatment. Also, the fear of asking questions is called Rogophobia.

#QUESTIONEVERYTHING

Wow as we get ready to say bye bye to summer and hello fall, there a bunch of New Options on Streaming Platforms every where.

From our Digital Trends friends; “Before he went on to create,The Wire— another all-time great crime series — David Simon pushed network television to its limits with Homicide; Life on the Streets ; The show broke all of the rules in the 1990s by staying away from the traditional formula for cop shows. There weren’t always perfectly resolved cases, and the pressure of solving these crimes was taxing for the main characters on spiritual and mental levels.

The cast’s performances were simply incredible, especially the late Andre Braugher and Richard Belzer. This series actually shares continuity with Dick Wolf’s Law & Order franchise, as Belzer’s John Munch had a starring role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. But as a standalone series, Homicide is impeccable. This is the first time Homicide has been on streaming, and it deserves to be rediscovered by audiences.” Enjoy it Streaming NOW.

Then there’s BAD MONKEY. “Ted Lasso cocreator Bill Lawrence adapted Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey for Apple TV+, and the name is a bit of a misnomer. There is a monkey, who isn’t particularly bad … and he doesn’t even belong to the main character. Instead, the story focuses on Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), an ex-cop from Miami whose career has seen him sink from detective to restaurant inspector.

But when a severed arm shows up without the rest of the body, Yancy is roped into the investigation that exposes the seamy side

of life in Florida. And when Yancy learns who the arm belongs to, it opens up a completely different set of questions about who committed the crime and why.” Iy is also NOW STREAMING on Apple + TV.

Last but certainly not least, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (2024)

“Who murdered Andie (India Lillie Davies)? That’s a question that’s haunted Pippa Fitz-Amobi (Wednesday’s Emma Myers) in A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. Even with university life beckoning Pippa during her last year in high school, she can’t let go of her theory that Andi wasn’t killed by her late boyfriend, Sal Singh (Rahul Pattni).

To prove herself, Pippa plans to solve the murder and use it as her school project for the year. This manages to anger a lot of people in Pippa’s hometown who would rather not dig up the secrets that she’s getting uncomfortably close to. Pippa’s seen a lot of detectives on TV, and they may not have been the best role models for her as she soon finds herself in genuine danger.”
