The life of a heel: worn out from being used but still capable of stepping on toes.

I dreamt something really exciting last night. I wish I could remember what it was. It was between hours of half-wakefulness. After a month or so of nocturnal bliss, my insomnia has come back. Sometimes I feel like I will never be comfortable again, that the muscles will never loosen and fully want to relax. Somniphobia? No, I like my dark places. They just don't seem to like me these days.

But here are some other phobias I'm considering discussing with my doctor:

Asymmetriphobia- Fear of asymmetrical things
Bibliophobia- Fear of books
Chronomentrophobia- Fear of clocks
Nomatophobia- Fear of names
Nostophobia- Fear of returning home
Phronemophobia- Fear of thinking
Russophobia- Fear of Russians
Scriptophobia- Fear of writing in public
Spacephobia- Fear of outer space
Venustraphobia- Fear of beautiful women
Vestiphobia- Fear of clothing
