So recently, when I was researching some phobias for my upcoming OC, I ran into Thalassophobia. Thalassophobia is a phobia of the ocean. I actually have that phobia for almost a year. I'll tell you how I got this phobia (AwkwardDreamer31st was there too).

March 30, 2017

It was Thursday and in English class, we were going to watch a movie called Soul Surfer to learn about how a girl faced her fear. It was I fine until a shark scene come into the room. I was shocked and I couldn't believe what happened to the girl. I always couldn't breathe for a few minutes. I thought I was going to be okay, but I got worse that I started to cry. I had to stay in at break to clam down, but I couldn't.
At my next two classes (Math and then Science), I couldn't stop crying. Then half way through science, I had to go home because I couldn't stop crying. And ever since that day, I been afraid to go back in the ocean again.

So that was my story of how I got my Thalassophobia. I got over my shark fear after a couple of months, but I haven't got over the ocean. Now just because I fear the ocean, doesn't mean I hate it. I love looking at the ocean, but I just don't like going in it.

I hope you enjoy this story of how I got this phobia.
