When I was a kid I had the same fear of smoke detectors. It began one day when my house caught on fire and the smoke detectors warned us (naturally). For years I was terrified of them and the sound. When my mom would cook and accidentally set them off, I would burst into tears and plug my ears. For the remaining years in that house (roughly 2), I would plug my ears and run through the hallway that contained them. My brothers would torment me because of it. But, I eventually grew out of it. And ironically, in my 20s, my house burned down.
I also had a slight discomfort for the red fire alarms at my school. The noise they made really freaked me out. I avoided looking at them as well. If they were to go off while I was looking at them, I would have died! But it was no
What's the name? by: Jessica
Can anyone please tell me what this phobia is called...I'll be so relieved in a way.
