Fear of popping bones
So i’ve tried to do a bunch of research but nothing seems to match my fear. I don’t like popping bones. everything about it. chiropractors are horrifying, getting my back popped? (panic attack) i once popped my pinky and cried for 30 minutes because it felt different. just popped my pointer finger on accident and I SWEAR it felt like i dislocated it. But the only thing I can find on the phobia is either the sound of it, or just a fear of bones. It’s not the sound explicitly it’s the feeling, the idea. The THOUGHT of popping my bones is utterly horrifying. And i’m not scared of bones 😂 i can look at bones and pick up bones and it’s fine but it’s just the feeling of them popping it feels like i’m altering my body and breaking it. any ideas?
