My Strange Phobia


In the world, there are many kinds of phobia like acrophobia or claustrophobia, but I wonder whether there are such people who suffer from the same one as mine. I don't know the name, but if I dare to name it, my phobia is collapse-phobia.


I don't know why, but at higher floors than 2nd floor in apartments or buildings, if I make a noise for example, by walking roughly or bringing big furniture into my house, I start to worry that the floor might collapse because of the impact or shock made by these. It sounds very weird to other people, but I'm truly serious. Hence I can't stay for a long time at such boisterous places with people, like shopping centers or sports gyms except when they are located on the 1st floor.


This does not mean that I dislike staying at high place. If anything, I like it, because I can see beautiful scenery and  it's kind of thrilling! Therefore my fear is not for high places, but for the acts or din people make at that place. 


On account of this funny phobia, there are a lot of  harmful influence. I can't live in apartments so now I inhabit in a two-storey house. Even though we are in my house, if my husband ever walk in the 2nd floor roughly, I always get angry, but it is okay in the case of the 1st floor. I can't attend sports gyms that are in more than 2nd floor, because there, a good many people are exercising  and dancing. 


I have no idea why I am suffering from this strange phobia. Almost all people laugh when I tell them about it. Anyway, I hope this mental condition will fade down the road.
