    spinning around - anyone else phobic about this?

    just wondering...

    i've had this issue since childhood: i absolutely freak out if i'm made to spin around or turn in circles. i can't go on fairground rides, and get tense and stressed when i'm in a car or a plane that's circling (like driving around a parking building or a road island - or in a holding pattern)

    i even find it hard to watch children on spinning rides or spinning themselves on a rope swing etc - or even just turning around and around on their feet. i get tense and have to look away! crazy i know, specially since they are usually enjoying it!

    i also don't like to have objects which are swinging in circles in my field of view - like something hanging on a string, like a window blind cord, for example. i want to walk over and stop it swinging so i can relax.

    it doesn't really bother me emotionally to feel like this; i don't wish i could go on spinning rides... but i've never heard of anyone else with this issue and just wondered if i am all alone?
