Epistolophobia is an irrational or abnormal fear of writing or receiving letters or messages.
Fun times! But this totally explains my panic attacks when I have to mail something. It makes me nuts! This made me feel better:
Key points about epistolophobia:
Meaning: "Epistolo" comes from the Greek word "epistole" meaning "letter."
Symptoms: People with epistolophobia might experience anxiety, panic attacks, or extreme discomfort when they need to write or send a letter.
Related anxieties: This fear can sometimes be associated with anxieties around making mistakes in writing or the potential negative response from the recipient.
So, I can name it so I can treat it and handle it. Just another day in my life....
