i've never heard of this kind of phobia but if your parents wont take you to the doctor or dont take you seriously the visit your counceler at school and tell them about then maybe they might make a phone call to your parents or send you home with a note saying your serious or to take you to the doctors.if your (i dont know um... scared for some reason to go to the councelers) trust me its ok to go to the councelers i went to the councelers recently but i hadnt done that before but now i'm totaly fine with it.

I've never heard of this phobia but there are so many. I'm sure there are people you know who have phobias, they may just not say anything about it.
It doesn't sound like OCD as you don't seem to have a compulsion to do things. Phobias are very real, very frightening and very hard to deal with. It is very sad that your parents are not taking you seriously, unfortunately, in most phobia cases, unless someone has personal experience of one, it seems very hard for them to be sympathetic.
It sounds as though, when you were too young to remember, something happened to alarm you, probably something so slight that to an adult, there was nothing to be scared of and it was forgotten. However, with your limited knowledge at that point, of what was safe and what was not, that fear turned inwards and grew, leaving you with a distressing fear.
You don't say how old you are, but is there a teacher or a school councillor you could ask for help? Tell them you have tried to talk to your parents with no success but you really want help to overcome this before it starts to rule your life. Perhaps you could go to the doctors on your own?
The problem with phobias is that if they are not tackled early on, they do grow and they become so much harder to get rid of.
Hope that helps and the best of luck to you.

Phobias and OCD both are types of an anxiety disorder, which sounds like something you certainly have. It's a genuine illness, and just like any other time you are ill, you need to see a doctor. If your parents won't get serious about this and take you to see a psychologist, then tell your regular codtor the next time you see him/her for anything else. They will talk to your parents and refer you to a reputable pychologist.

I've never heard of this phobia, but I myself have pretty severe OCD when I'm not on my meds, and I can tell you this alone is not OCD.
Everyone has a phobia, so there's probably no name for it. You should also always avoid medication at all costs. It's recommended that people go on it if they either are getting to a point where they are constantly miserable, or it's taking up 4 hours or more of your day.
Best of luck to you.
