Phobias
Phobias are an irrational fear about something. Some conditions such as fear of flying can be perfectly understandable. However, other phobias like the fear of clowns or of seemingly harmless items that wouldn’t bother most people can be much more difficult to understand and manage.
Fear
Fear can scare you, it can motivate you, or it might even cause you to become paralyzed. Some refer to fear as nothing more than false evidence appearing real. But if you are in the grips of fear it is very real and it is important to understand fear as well as to come up with some tools and coping mechanisms for when it visits itself upon you.
