Hello,

I'm figuring out what kind of phobia I have. I have been to a church, and there was very loud music. People were standing very close to me and were dancing etc. I became sweaty, didn't feel good and wanted to escape!

Later, I went to a concert, and there the music was also very loud. The hall was crowded but people were just sitting, not jumping etc. I felt a little bit the same as the church just mentioned above, but I didn't need to escape.

I think I have a combination of fear for "loud music" AND for people standing very close to me. I have no problem with loud music (I play the drums myself!) and I have no problem with crowded halls either, but the combination makes me really nervous and wanting to escape, especially when people are too close to me.

Does anybody know what this phobia / fear is called? I think it must be a combi of 'loud music' AND 'crowd' / a large crowd of people standing very close to me.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum

Im afraid i dont know what this specific phobia is called and i cant say that i have heard of it before.

Do you know when you started having issues and what may have triggered it off? How do you handle music through items such as Radio, Sound Systems, TV etc?
