This phobia is not quite as uncommon as you think, i believe we have a Moderator that also suffers from this.

Im sure other members will drop in and say hello, hopefully the person im thinking of will make himself known. Hes a nice young man from pretty close to your part of the world.

Do you have any ideas as to how the phobia started and at what age?

Regards. Smile

No need to apologise for your English not being perfect. You do a way better job of speaking English than i could attempt at speaking any other language.

I am in Australia and it is late evening here so i have to leave you. Hopefully someone else will say hello soon and i look forward to talking with you again.

In the meantime browse around and do some reading, there will be many things to interest you.

Regards. Smile

*raises hand*
I would be the moderator with Trypophobia (although my trypophobia isn't as bad now as it once was).Cool

Welcome to Ofear Dragonfly! Don't worry about your English; I have no trouble understanding you.Blob5
So your phobia just started yesterday? It's interesting that you mention nightmares, as that is how this phobia begins for many people. That's how mine started. Did yours start in a dream too?
It sounds as if you're keeping positive about the whole thing, which is good. I can't really give you much advice, I'm not sure how to overcome a phobia like this. I think that simply exposing yourself, slowly, to hole patterns that you find upsetting might be a good way to start. As I mentioned, my own phobia was much worse a few years ago. When I found out that it has a name and started to google for the phobia, I stumbled upon a few pictures that made me really uncomfortable. But, since I found the fear so interesting, I forced myself to continue researching. I think that's how my fear got less extreme. I still find those patterns very uncomfortable, but I can deal with them. I no longer feel the need to throw myself out a window when I see them.Laughing6
So maybe you can try to google for trypophobia pictures. Do be careful though, and if you get too uncomfortable don't force it.Undecided

I'd be a dog, a monkey or a bear, or anything but that vain animal, who is so proud of being rational.

RE: [split] Hello - Im New.
I'm just feared of many holes like all the pictures when you google Trypophobia. I had a nightmare with a big spider and the skin of the spider had this holes, it was horrible.
My arachniophobia isn't so hard so I don't know why it was a spider in my nightmare, eventually the it was a spider cause I think spiders are the ugliest animals in whole world.

When I see the trypophobia pictures my heart is (don't know how to say) very fast, I become very very nervous/tensely and I scratch my whole skin.
I try to watch every day a little bit of the pictures so I defeated once ( a flower) but just in the 100x100 format if it where bigger and with more details I would cry like a little girl >.<.

RE: [split] Hello - Im New.
It is just so strange that so many people get this phobia from a dream. I find that fascinating fascinating.Undecided
When I was a kid, I had a dream of heads with big holes in it. I think it was my own head, and the heads of my family, and they all had big holes all over. I woke up with that familiar trypophobia feeling where you just want to scratch your skin (as you said) and that's when the phobia started for me. Every time I saw patterns of holes, I would get the feeling.Blob5

Anyway, it's good that you're trying to fight it by viewing pictures. It might take some time, but hopefully it will help. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help. Let us know how it goes though.Tongue

No problem, I dont expected any help, I just wnted to inform me, to learn english and to speak to peaople who have the same or other problems.
Until now I defeated all my phobias, I'm really proud of me :3
(Phobias I had until yet: Acrophobia,Arachniophobia,Xenophobia)
It's really creepy, the first time I saw a scorpion in real I didn't fear it more.

PS: Another fact from me is, that when I get older I wanna study psychology.

How old are you then?
I've always loved psychology and would love to study it more (will after a business degree). I have always found mental illness or mental differences very amusing and interesting. I think its also because I find those people more interesting then "normal" people.
