Hydrophobia- Fear of water or of rabies.

  1. (pathology) An aversion to water, as a symptom of rabiesrabies itself.
  2. Fear of water (colloquial, fear of water is technically called aquaphobia, so not to be confused with rabies).

Aquaphobia - an abnormal and persistent fear of water.

  1. fear of water, especially a morbid fear of drowning.

I have a fear of water depth. I don't know if it's one of the above. 
I was afraid being inside a bathtub, when I had spa,  I was afraid that there were something else inside the water/ what was under the bubbles wasn't actually a bath tub, or that something is gonna happen to my body.  I didn't enjoy soaking in it.  I tried to move the bubbles, see for anything that isn't in the color of the water.





I'm also afraid with getting inside a swimming pool.  I don't know how to swim.  I tried to learn those days, but once I get my head inside the water and all I could hear is water,  I felt like there were sharks around or sharks coming out from the walls ---____---".


Just by looking at the above picture, I feel like drowning already, and like it's not only me inside the pool, but sharks as well coming from all directions.. ------______------ '".

I always try to overcome my fear though...

I went for a snorkel back on high school years at Bunaken, but I couldn't stand it.  I was afraid seeing black big fish, and especially when I was near the cliff, I PANICKED!!!!!!

So what is your biggest fear? lemme know.

Gue kerephobia. Takut kalo jadi kere. Karena pada dasarnya udah kere. Jangan sampe jadi kere kuadrat.

Kalo di tulisan ini kayaknya gue masuk ke bathophobia. Ngeri kalo banyak air dan dalam keadaan yang gelap (deep caves). Dulu pernah ke Goa Gudawang di Parung Panjang. Itu ngerinya kebawa sampe rumah, pas lagi nyuci sepatu penuh lumpur. Selain itu kayaknya karena faktor sering main game survival horor, yang setannya sembunyi di dalam air.
