A fear of falling which makes one afraid to stand up


I was looking for a word that meant "afraid to stand up for fear one's head might fall off", but this will have to do instead .

Cheers

374320 2005-07-22 09:19:00 Basophobia . . . . . . . Hmm I wonder if I could use that as an excuse for sleeping in



Personally I suffer from Bogyphobia, but i don't tend to mention it as i also suffer from Catagelophobia not to mention a few other phobias I can't mention because of my Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, anyway I better go as i am getting an attack of Logizomechanophobia,

Lousy boxers probably feel that other word you couldn't find each time they are floored . Too afraid to stand up in case their head gets knocked off . :waughh:
