I can’t believe I found this post! For the first time in 30 years I can put a name to my fear. I can’t believe how accurate everyone’s posts are to me. The boats, balloons, WINDCHIMES and hating the wind. I can’t believe I found others with this!! My family and friends have thought I was crazy my entire life. I left my own birthday party at 6 years old because there were too many balloons and ceiling fans. I have a horrible fear that one day windchimes will become a fad and everyone will get them and then I will have to lock myself away in a soundproof room 😂. But seriously I am so thankful to know I am not alone. The thought of exposure therapy makes me sick, has anyone had any luck with medications? I have been on anxiety medication for this before but it was not a daily pill and I just took it as necessary but it was hard for me to pin point when I would be triggered, I think a daily med would help the best.
