Is it normal i have an irrational fear of flushing the toilet?

Ever since I was a little girl I always had this irrational fear that after flushing the toilet, it would summon some kind of monster or demon into the bathroom to kill me. Now that I'm older I know this almost certainly isn't the case, but anytime I am in the public bathroom alone or using my own bathroom a part of me is terrified to flush that toilet in fear that something or someone will come get me. :/ Is this normal? Can anyone relate?

  • Pretty common fear for kids... but most people grow out of it.

  • I had this fear too. It's really weird and is here still to this day. Try to overcome that fear, that is the best solution.
