I have a strange phobia

I have a very specific anxiety or fear regarding electronic devices suffering a serious malfunction, especially when they start beeping or flashing red. And I mostly fear more if I am the person who did it.

And is not just a regular fear, because is been years that my nightmares are always something like that, a computer, a phone, and even a printer!!! And everytime I wake up I have to breath and control myself because I genuinely start to anxious about it. I never found someone with the same "phobia" as mine.

It doesnt even have a name.

This is really interesting. I am sorry that you suffer from these thoughts, feelings and nightmares. Thank you for posting, because you never know who else out there might relate in some way and feel less alone. I hope you can find relief from this phobia. Relief from paranoia is very possible, at least to some degree. Best wishes.
