Thank you internet for the diagnosis, I've got severe Astraphobia. Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of thunder and lightning", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.
I know that sound travels slower than light. So by the time thunder roars, the damage by lightning is already done. Not all phobias make sense.
I also have the following:
Aerophobia - Fear of flyingTonitrophobia - Fear of thunder (different website, different phobia name)
Mageirocophobia - Fear of cooking. Actually, I fear wasting time cooking something that is going to be gross anyway.
Verminophobia - Fear of germs. I am glad germs are not visible to the naked eye.
Coulrophobia - Fear of clowns. They are all murderers.
Ataxophobia - Fear of disorder or untidiness. If I really had this phobia I'd make my bed, but I don't.
Dystychiphobia - Fear of accidents. Who wouldn't have this phobia? I just don't want an accident right now. For me or my family. When push comes to shove, I just don't want that.
Yea!! I don't have the following:
Aichmophobia - Fear of needles or pointed objects. Look at the picture- he is so happy. That's me when I give blood. Free cookies. Wait-I am afraid of knives.
Arachnophobia - Fear of spiders. I change my mind. I do have this a little. I also fear killing spiders because of that "crunch" sound they make when I capture them and squish them.
Dentophobia - Fear of dentists. Always loved the dentist. Everyone should have straight, white teeth.
Ephebiphobia - Fear of teenagers. Teens are fantastic. They are bursting with creativity and love for life.Glossophobia - Fear of speaking in public. Practice has healed that fear. Doesn't mean that I'm good at it though.
Hemophobia - Fear of blood. Eh. Blood is necessary for life. Seeing a lot of it coming out of some one might be bothersome though.
*I looked up some of these phobias at dictionary.com and they weren't there. So - the accuracy of this post may be flawed.
