the sky

So, i know this is so irrational but....is anyone else, who is agoraphobic, afraid of the sky? in any way...? i can’t describe it.

YES. I hate being outside because i feel like im going to fall into it. It's worse during the day

I am not agoraphobic, but when I was in my 20's I had an enormous fear of clouds !! Would look away, or try to cover my eyes and if I saw them lumbering through the sky I would have a full blown panic attack. I love clouds, and can't imagine why I went through about a year of hell fearing them. (my boyfriend, now my husband) one day said... do you think by shaking and trembling you will have any control over whether or not the clouds come and go ? It was like a thunderbolt ! omg. I can laugh now, but not when I was in the middle of an panic attack. Phobias are very hard to explain. We know they are irrational, and yet there they are. We mostly are sensible, highly intelligent people and yet we fall to our knees over things that are just part of life.

I'm not agrophobic now but when I was, yes I didn't like the sky or should I say the clouds !. I felt trapped when it was a cloudy day and it made my anxiety worse. But clear sunny days were ok !!.
