Didaskaleinophobia: The Fear of Going to School


The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety: A Guide to Breaking Free from Anxiety, Phobias, and Worry Using Acceptance and Commitment TherapyDidaskaleinophobia is the persistent and irrational fear of going to school.  This phobia is better known as separation anxiety.  A child with this phobia will try every possible way to avoid going to school.  I know this all too well from personal experience.  I gave my mom hell.  I was always sick, I was hurt or I didn’t get enough sleep.  I tried it all, usually it didn’t work, and she would drag me to school kicking and screaming. 

Didaskaleinophobia can be caused by not wanting to leave a parent, changing schools, or anything that can cause immense stress on a child.  Children aren’t capable of handling stressful situations and this can lead to anxiety disorders that turn into a fear of going to school.  I was bullied almost every day and that compounded with my parents’ divorce and chronic pain, so school was the last place I wanted to be.

Albuminurophobia: The Fear of Kidney Disease

What causes Albuminurophobia?  There’s really no way to know for sure.  A traumatic event at young age could be the culprit. The death of a loved one with kidney disease or witnessing the effects of kidney disease could trigger this phobia.  Genetics may also play a role in the development of phobias.

Nyctophobia: The Fear of the Dark


Nyctophobia is the irrational and persistent fear of the dark.  This is one of the most common phobias and is more common in children than adults.  We can’t see in the dark and this is where this phobia begins.  Those who have this phobia are afraid of what might happen to them in the dark.  They believe that something will get them while they are in the dark.

Almost every child develops a degree of this phobia at some point during childhood.  The monsters under the bed and in the closet and all those things that go bump in the night.  I refused to sleep alone until I was 8 or 9 years old.  I was convinced that something was going to get me while I slept. It’s a horrible feeling when you’re that afraid of something.  When you add nightmares and night terrors this phobia becomes a huge problem.

So, do I still have this Nyctophobia?  I am happy to report that I am officially a big girl….for the most part.  When I’m home alone I still get a little freaked with those things that go bump in the night, but I’ve learned to fall asleep fast ; ).
