Astraphobia

I have a terrible astraphobia, fear of thunderstorms. My whole family thinks I'm retarded and that I'm completely irrational. I can't help that when I see a thunderstorm on the horizon I start to twitch.

One time is was so bad that I started to be physically sick. I wish my family wounld understand my fear but they just want to call me crazy.
