I also have this since I was a kid (now im 23/M). They always say "why being scared? Lightning wont hit you" and blah blah. Like... I am afraid of the lightnings flash! And the loud thunder. I always shut the blinds, turn on lights, and listen to music with headphones on full blast. It makes it better. But I still know that there's thunder, and the fact that there's a storm outside, makes me have panic attacks. It's better, when I'm not alone, but I'm working at home, and at daytime, I'm all alone at home... I want to kms, as summer comes, storms will be frequent, and I don't know what to do.
There is a storm outside right now. I'm growing calmer with each lightning strike, oddly. Because I'm telling myself "This is just nature doing what it's supposed to do in order to replenish the earth. Without this, there is no life". My friend, I hope you can find peace one day and not let your fear rob you of a happy life.
I also feel it, if the storm come i dont touch metal, water or liquid, and i also afraid with all the electricity and stay away from it during the thunderstorm..
@@ekoramiduk i just got a notification because of your comment. My phobia didn't fade since my comments (now im 25). When I knew a storm was coming, I went to a nearby shop and stood there inside, so I wouldn't be alone. It was a little bit better, but obviously, kinda shaming. In august, I was at home with my family at night, and a storm came. I decided, that since I am not alone, I will not listen to music, simply play something on the PC, with no headphones.. and what happens? 2 of my 3 monitors turn off, and my router pops.. a millisecond later, huge thunder.. It literally struck a close house when I decided to face my fear.. of course, it made it worse. :D
Currently storming where I live, and I too have a irrational fear of thunder. Needed someone to relate to and I found this video. Definitely helped knowing that I'm not alone. Thanks :). I'm a 20 year old male btw 🤣
I have been astraphobic for 8 years and the biggest storm of my life just came, I normally hide downstairs but i have been praying and i heard a voice, and after that i was completely fine, i didnt hide, i just hung out. Please pray. 🙏 ❤️
I was scared shitless grabbing my family members legs and screamed as a kid when it was thundering. During a 2-3 year period it kinda cooled down a bit, and I just sat in my bed waiting it out, unless it was really close(lived close to a church which got struck every few years). I think I was 11 when I decided to take my bed quilt and sit in the sofa out on our terrace. That was the summer when I conquered my fear of thunder. Now I love it and always sit and listen to it, following it on a radar. But with deep respect for it. Everyone is different, so it might not work for everyone. But if anyone has gone from complete panic to unease, it could be worth a try.
Heavy Rain bothers me. Usually during the day storms don't trouble me, but I had instances when it thundered and I couldn't sleep. I traveled to the Caribbean one day and I stood out during a storm with my friends. Since then it empowered me, and now I want to get over this. I'll try to hear it out, and not use earplugs
this video made me feel so much better. i feel so relatebale, because when there is thunderstorm i'm always scared and try to distract myself in many ways. i feel so scared and i sometimes think that the world is going to end.
I had this when I was a kid and it went away when I was about 12 or 13. I used to feel like the world was going to end when I saw storm clouds coming. It was just utter dread and I had to hold it in when I was at school so I didn't get bullied for it. It just went away on its own and I don't know how or why. I really like thunderstorms now. I hope the same can happen for you too.
(Just after I pressed "Comment", I thought of something that might have led to the end of the phobia. It's probably not very helpful to anyone but I want to write it down because I've just realised it and I might literally forget it otherwise. I also used to be afraid of dogs; I got mauled by a pitbull as a baby, so that's probably why. The phobia of dogs and thunderstorms stopped at about the same age, and I just thought about what changed in my life at the time. I stopped sharing a room with my younger brother, changed from primary school to high school and ... stopped being physically abused at home, and I'm starting to suspect the latter may have been feeding my phobias.)
Currently storming where i live, it already stormed earlier and it was really crazy so i had a panic attack. Now it's windy again so I'm anxious. I wanna get rid of my trauma already
This is very inspirational! Specially to someone like me who has the phobia and the fact it's kind of storming for me. I know this is a year old but I'd love to see an update video on this.
I was looking for Astrophobia (fear of space and celestial bodies) and came across this video. This makes me realize that I'm kinda afraid of thunder/lightning too. At the same time, both of these fears fascinates me, especially astronomy. The climax of all this is the observation of giant lightning on Jupiter. Anyway, thanks for your video pretty lady.
I have a bad fear of thunder and lightning as well. I don't live in the best spot for it either. I live in Singapore where thunderstorms happen basically everyday. I always expect it, it will be bright and sunny one second, and the sky will be completely dark one second later. There is never heavy rain without lightning here. It's been super hard, as i've lived here for 4 years and I do go to therapy for it, so i'm hoping it will get better.
i hope one day i can make this progress! oh jeez when you said “it’s not longer religious fear” i felt that in my core. mine comes phobia stems from my religious ocd (me and my doc believe) so omg it’s so amazing to hear someone else say what i feel. i don’t know you but watching this i’m so so proud
This is why I share, because it gives us all hope knowing we are not alone in our fears. And I don't know you either, but here we are: I have faith that you will get to this point some day.
i really wish that i had someone to talk to about my astraphobia. i got it one night where it was storming really bad and we had extreme winds hit my house (i’m not sure if there was a tornado, i never got a warning or a watch),, and the thunder and lightning was rumbling really loud. my house shook like crazy. he worst of the storm was over in a couple of minutes, but it has stuck with me since. now, even on sunny days my anxiety can go haywire. i wish to talk to someone else with astraphobia,, as it makes me feel a lot better knowing i’m not alone. this video was really sweet,, i liked the little clip of you just enjoying the sun after the storm. i live in phoenix, and basically the only time we get rain is during monsoon season. i am scared during the entirety of monsoon season due to flooding & tornadoes. the likely hood of seeing any tornadoes here in AZ is very, very low but it does not stop my fear. i wish all of you with this fear to heal soon, i know how terrible it feels.
It's hard to find people with the this fear, and to this day, I don't know anyone personally. But if you check Reddit, r/phobia subreddit has quite a few posts of people sharing their phobia of thunder and lightning. I have not figured out a way to add my email (as I don't have access to a laptop right now), but keep an eye out, I will be adding my business email to my channel and you can feel free to email me if you need someone to talk to. Wish you strength during this time of crazy weather 💜
I also have this phobia it’s really bad. Every time it says there’s gonna be severe weather or a possible chance of severe weather I still panic. And I’m a kid so uh yeah
Man this phobia really took over me. Couldn’t even go outside without seeing the weather forecast. The only way that this WILL work is if you expose yourself into thunder. When I had the phobia and my parent thought me when I was young I thought it was just them trying to get me to play games and stuff with them. But it seriously works. I live in Texas so we don’t got basements, which also helps so when a harmless storm comes I don’t have any shelter. And when I do have to shelter I have everything in place. That’s the only way for it to guarantee work the phobia out, and get rid of it. I know first hand it’s annoying scary and used to give me tremors and butterflies. And because you’re a kid, it’s natural to devolop fears when you’re young. Within the first 6 months it really isn’t a fear, it’s just a scary thought. But as a kid, you should start off hanging out in storms in a big groups, then progressively start to lower the number of people until your good alone. Hopefully you overcome it.
this was oddly comforting to watch. I've had a fear of thunderstorms on and off throughout my life, but lately it's had a resurgence. I hope I'm able to get over it 🤞🤞
Congratulations! You are amazing and i am so proud of you! :) Also thank you so much for spreading awarness of astraphobia. I have recently developed it as we now keep getting storms almost every other day. I have always been kind of scared of it, as a child but nowadays it is much worse than it used to be. I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder so I am really sensitive to loud noises and sounds so the thunder and wind scare me the most. I usually get a series of panic attacks during the storm and it is pretty annoying. I am getting therapy sessions from September so I am quite excited how will that go :). Thank you again, I don't feel that alone anymore x
Thank you Edith the Dreamer. There was a tornado warning in my area yesterday. I told myself, it's just another storm that will not harm you. You are safe indoors, you will be okay. I felt calm and no panic whatsoever. Hopefully you can get to this point and therapy will help you face this fear. Best wishes to you!
@@irsemoore7066 Thank you so much. I'm so glad you weren't panicking yesterday because you're completely right! I was just about to go to sleep now when I saw approaching lightning so I immediately had to check the weather forecast and found out that there might be another thunderstorm later on. I'm now afraid to go to sleep but I can hopefully manage this. Thank you for your reply earlier, the support means a lot!
@@irsemoore7066 I wish I could be able to cope with storms. I still get a lot of anxiety from them. It annoys me when it happens if I am getting ready for work or if I am supposed to sleep. I hate it when any phobia of mine gets in the way of things I need to do.
@@damienosullivan193 It's not an easy fear to cope with. But it's not our fears that get in the way, it's US. I'm not saying go outside while there's a storm and dance, but try to tell yourself you're gonna be okay. You don't need to be brave, you just need to trust mother nature to let you get safely into your car and get to work. If you're trying to sleep, tell yourself the storm will pass eventually and you just have to breathe through it until it goes away. I wish I could give better advice but I am still a work in progress. Wishing you sunny days, happiness and success!
I had some fear of storms as a child, but it got much worse when I moved to Texas with all the tornadoes. Now I live in a tiny house in the middle of nowhere and my fear is debilitating. I don’t feel safe and there is NO WHERE to go to be safe. My anxiety is horrible.
I have astraphohia since I saw my nan put her fingers in her ears during a storm when I was 2. I has controlled my life ever since (now 48) I get extremely anxious before a storm, get myself so worked up (over preparing) cannot go out, do anything except lie on my bed and have music on my headphones so I can't hear the thunder. Oddly I enjoy watching storms, though not so much at night.
There is currently A crazy thunders storm in my country rn And like when i was 4-5 i was very scared of thunder and i am still scarer rn ☹️! idk what to do i cant live like this any more btw i am 17 and i specialy hate lightning and thunder i mean i like when it rains but i hate thunder and lightning!☹️⛈️ I am scared !
*I feel like my phobia could also be linked to a fear of God I have. I feel like if I think, do or say something bad or ‘sinful’ then something horrible will happen to me. Sometimes I feel like I did something bad and the storm is God ‘punishing me for it’. Also the suddenness of the lights and noise scares me so muchhh*

There is a thunderstorm at the moment, my backyard has been struck by lightning 4 times in one month, and it TRIGGERED me, I don’t have curtains in my bedroom and my roof is thin. I am terrified right now, I can’t distract myself, everytime I try I end up pausing my distraction and freezing in place so I feel secure and safe.
I had a bad fear of thunder at 7 years old and I'm now 18, I don't get that scared of thunderstorms to the point of crying anymore but I do still plug my ears or flinch when lightning strikes, I'm on the autism spectrum so It's hard to get used to suddenly bangs or booms, Even if I know it will happen
I've been suffering from this since I was a child I especially hate it at night when I'm sleeping when it starts it always keeps me awake especially when the thunder is loud
Yesterday, there was a terrible thunderstorm. It was windy, thunder, lightning, and extremely heavy rain. I’m absolutely TERRIFIED of the wind. What I did was, put on my tv super loud, closed the blinds, put in my headphones on, and ate some ice cream. It helped a little bit but I’m still scared. Do you guys have any tips?
im so scared im only 13 but everytime its storming i get super anxious and i cant help but just burst out crying snd its gonna rain all this week idk what to do so im gonna try exposure therapy
Hey Bianca, if it makes you feel any better, I cried 2 years ago when a storm hit my area and I was 27 years old. Know you're not alone, it's okay to tell people (I told my friends and they reach out when there's a storm to console me), and I strongly believe you can overcome this fear eventually!
Both my friend. A psychologist will help diagnose and figure out where this fear is coming from and how to cope with it. A psychiatrist will help figure out what medicine you can take to ease the anxiety or fear. If you don't want medication, I suggest looking into holistic therapy. Good luck!
Yes. Having such an intense fear causes hight anxiety and stress. It puts your body in fight and/or flight mode and that actually messes with all sorts of things in your body- hair loss is one of the worst ones. I'm sorry you're going through this.
