I have this fear of alarm clocks.... Not the actual alarm clock, the fact that I get paranoid when the alarm goes off

Like over the time of one alarm clock sound, I get sweaty and have trouble breathing just by hearing it.

I even get a personal clock timer so that it makes me wake up like 10 minutes before the alarm goes off just so I can turn it off.

The "Radar" Sound on Iphone, I cannot listen to. If I do, I freak out. It gives me the feeling like claustrophobia and that I need to rid the sound instantly

Anyone know what's happening?

Boi wow thanks for jamming into my rant

So, you have an alarm to remember to turn off your alarm?

It sucks I have to change my alarm every week so that I don't get a fear of it.

I've never had a fear of my alarm, but I have to change the noise every once and a while because I develop a hatred for the sound that makes me have to get out of bed.

but no seriously

don't have an alarm clock if this is happening for you

or just in general

it's bad for your sleep to get interrupted

Juiced: Same, but I start crying and freaking out. One time someone hid the phone and played the alarm and I started screaming "TURN THE DAMN THING OFF" in front of my relatives

Josh: I need it cuz i gotta get up for school and I sleep in.

do you not have someone that can wake you up in the morning?

or maybe use your phone for an alarm clock and put a softer alarm sound for it?

I use my phone for it. And yes I use a special alarm that I appreciate.
But I recently got my phone taken away from having a B in Latin ._.

Also no my parents sleep in too.

have you tried telling them about this?

Yeet they don't know and idk if the internet does

Have them take you to the doctor, they know every thing


at least i think they do

I AM BEING SERIOUS:
It sounds like sometime in the past, an alarm clock rang during an unpleasant situation. Was there a time when you were sick, or embarrassed, or something of the sort when an alarm rang?

What I'd recommend if this is the case is trying to render the association between the alarm clock and a bad situation extinct; this may be hard, but see if you can listen to alarm clocks while doing nothing, this may help convince yourself nothing is wrong with an alarm.

Actually nothing.

But I've done research and,
ALSO BEING SERIOUS:
There was this story about a boy who got bullied, and so to get back at the bully he put a pineapple somewhere the bully went to everyday for two years, to the point that he became paranoid that a pineapple would be in his locker, or around the corner,

to the point where this bully developed a fear for pineapples. I'm not sure if it was true or not, but it's a pretty good explanation of my case.
