You have a phobia of water. I used to be afraid of taking a shower because the water was a projectile and I wasn't used to it. Later for a few years, I was scared to death of the shower head. I've been afraid of water for as long as I can remember. My fear first came into being when I drowned in a pool and the fear got renewed a few years later when I was taking swimming lessons. I can take showers but here's what I'm terrified of:
1. Water that's used as a projectile coming in my direction
2. Large bodies of water.
3. Small bodies of water make me very uncomfortable. This why I don't like to sit in bathtubs because I feel like I'm going to drown.
4. I'm scared of the ocean. The last time I went to the beach, I had a panic attack and I was too frightened to walk to the end of the shore.
To worsen matters, I can't swim so if I did fall into a body of water I would most likely drown and die.
Fear of the sea: Thalassophobia
Fear of water: Aquaphobia
Hydrophobia- In Rabies, especially a set of symptoms of the later stages of an infection, in which the victim has difficulty swallowing, shows panic when presented with liquids to drink, and can't quench its thirst.
Is it normal to be afraid of taking a shower and swimming?

I knew that Hydrophobia was also for rabies so I decided against using that term. The terms I used are more specific and are official.

Yeah, I guess I just like sound of it, Hydrophobia, and for whatever reason I always enjoy a rabies reference.
