I don't have it THAT bad but I do have a fear of losing my cell phone! :eek: And I admit I do pick up my phone first thing when I wake up before I get out of bed, but not to check for phone calls or texts, it's for the internet, to see what posts are here and for me to post a bit before getting out of my bed (being lazy) and onto the computer which is across the room! :lol:

And no joke, it was a recent $200 clue in a Fear Factor category on Jeopardy:

>>>>A new & growing condition is nomophobia, the fear of losing access to this--is there a charger nearby?<<<

No. I only use my phone for emergency's. Plus I don't have a smart phone. I have a older cell phone.

I have a fear of losing my phone but I would call that a pretty rational fear to be honest.

I'm not addicted to my phone. I can get along without it but I still tend to use it a lot.

No

Honestly, yes.

I don't think I have a fear of losing my cell phone. Sometimes I wish I could lose it.
But it is funny that you ask this, because just last night I had a dream where fire ants were taking my cell phone down a hole on a counter. And my phone was really tiny(in the dream). About the size of a nickel.

Kind of. I used to have a lot of phobias but now I have no mo.

Nope. I have a basic clam shell. It’s all I need really
