Another newbie

[mizzninja]

Hi everyone,

I just found this site a couple of weeks ago - I am truly amazed - I thought I was just a freak. and to find out this is the fifth most common phobia...

Well my name is Mel and I'm from Australia... I am not sure how long I have been suffering from this damned phobia for... at least ten years I think.

From reading up on all the information on this site I think I am actually pretty lucky - it's only the *other* people doing it that really bothers me... though it's so rare that I feel unwell, I do freak out a lot if I do feel a bit unwell.

Anyway, I just thought I'd say hi - I am so glad to have found this site, and having read through some of the posts here it is great to see the amount of support you people are giving to others.

I just can't believe I am not alone.

Cheers!
Mel

Welcome, and I completely agree. Since finding this site I no longer feel like a freak, and have found it such a relief to realize that I am not alone.

Hi Mel and welcome to the site. I was also amazed at how many people suffer from this. Doesnt make it any easier to deal with but its comforting to know that I am not the ONLY one. This is a great site and everyone is real supportive. [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]
