What is this phobia called?!


Question: What is this phobia called?
For the longest time, I have been deathly horrified of lakes, oceans, ponds. All types of natural bodies of water, but only when they are too dark to see the bottom. I do not know why I'm so scared of not being able to see the bottom of a lake, but I am. What is it called and how can I get over it?

Answers:

Aquaphobia. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Start with small pools and work your way up slowly

I don't think there is really a name for that, I think it's just that you maybe had a traumatic experience with a dark lake when you were younger.



I think you may have apenisobia
