How i experienced Dystychiphobia
Hello everyone and welcome to this new week,last week was hectic and stressful.
Hopefully this new week will be better and less stressful.
Am here to share my thoughts and experience with you.
I don't really know how right or wrong i am, but am glad am able to speak out and to share it with you all.
It's all about
Dystychiphobia
Dystychiphobia is a phobia which causes extreme fear and anxiety about accidents,
It makes someone to be extremely afraid of having an accident while driving or being inside the car.
This fear becomes intense especially when someone is exposed to such situations or something similar even if it doesn't happen.
I personally thought that some people were born with it or they might have been exposed to such incidents,hence making it traumatic for them.
Well,this afternoon i experienced something quite shocking .
While coming back from service while in the car, i felt a deep sense of fear of "what if this car crashes with another?"
Then i felt a rapid heart beat,i started sweating and i was so anxious then i knew that anxiety has set in,i tried to remain calm at least to get back home.
I quickly shifted my thoughts from it and created some positive thoughts within me.
This thought and fear dealt with me for a long time.
I battled with it for sometime before i could settle on the positive thoughts and i wish i could just be indoors through out without going out because of the fear of being in the car.
Image by me.
Then i realised that i had brooded over some stories i heard from a friend about some accidents that had happened in the past few weeks,at first it was just a harmless discussion but i wasn't conscious of the fact that my subconscious had took it in.then I realised that someone can have this phobia based on negative thoughts.
Am feeling so uncomfortable to go out but all i can do now is to try as much as possible to fix my mind on the positive.
If you have never experienced dystychiphobia then you are lucky.
Wishing you all a stress less week and hopefully,this week will end well.
