I don't know if this counts as a phobia, or some kind of ridiculous OCD, but I have a fear that all my teeth are gonna be knocked or ripped out. Like - I might be able to go on a rollercoaster, and something in my brain says "NOPE! you might rattle around too much and lose all your teeth!" or I might avoid an uneven floor in case I trip and land on my mouth, or I might not go into the club in case someone's bad dancing makes them slam into me ... this doesn't happen every time I would have walked across a wonky floor or be about to go into a club, weeks can go by without the thought crossing my mind, but when it does then that's that, it's like a physical barrier.

I used to have a phobia of needles (to the point where pins on a birthday badge mad me nervous) but in the past few years I've had a tumour removed and heart surgery, so about a zillion blood tests, biopsies, fluids put in my arm to show up during scans, and god knows what else so I'm just used to them now ... every cloud ...
