Automysophobia? No it is not a fear of being cars or something to do with autos. Automysophobia is a defined as a morbid fear of being dirty. Strange huh? Doesn’t everyone already, not want to be dirty? So how does this one such word be so extreme to be among the list of phobias we are already aware of?
Anyways I stumbled upon it when I was checking Google for trends, and I noticed the automysophobia search trend was on fire, which prompted be checking what it was.
Well, upon some checking I found that much like other phobias, it isn’t just a simple fear, but as many phobias are, it is a dread that causes one to be unable to live a normal life because of intense fear of something that actually poses no actual danger.
This automysophobia resource explains it better, but to summarize…
Symptoms of Automysophobia
That dread of being dirty can lead to breathlessness, dizziness, dry mouth, excessive sweating, nausea, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.
There are surprisingly a lot of people who suffer from this, but the good news, it can be treated.
Treatment of Automysophobia
As you have guessed, since the condition is more psychological and emotional, with the source being your thoughts and feelings, the cure also has something to do with correcting whatever negative thoughts of feelings you have that cause automysophobia.
