Publish Not your original work? Add source Thalassophobia is a persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water such as the ocean or sea. What makes this phobia different than aquaphobia - the fear of water in general - is the fact that it centers on vastness, darkness, and depth. People who have this condition are not terrified of getting wet, but rather the might and mystique behind the waves. While thalassophobia is not recognized as a distinct disorder by the DSM-5, the diagnostic manual of mental disorders used by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, it's still relatively common. And the subreddit of the same name is a vivid example of that. Created in June 2013, it unites 969,000 thalassophobes, sharing triggers and discussing symptoms. So, in an attempt to shed some light on this community, we at Bored Panda decided to put together a list of their most popular posts. This post may include affiliate links. #1

I have done swims across a small freshwater lake where I KNOW the biggest creature is no threat to me, and my brain staring into the infinity below me starts hallucinating giants just out of sight below me.

View more comments Online groups that get this big often suffer from huge streams of content that flood them with questionable pictures and videos, diminishing the overall experience of browsing them, but this subreddit manages to stay clean. Part of it can be attributed to the clear rules that promote being nice and courteous, and allow no jokes, memes, or cartoons, no reposts, and no gore. But of course, having an active moderator team that make sure members adhere to these rules helps tremendously as well. We contacted the moderators of 'Thalassophobia' and they were kind enough to have a little chat with us. "Our core mod group has 4 active members, which is a small team for a subreddit of our size," they told Bored Panda. "Compared to other subreddits of our size, we don't feel like we police posts or comments as much. The reason we do so little policing can probably be explained by our subreddit's niche context that revolves around a very specific set of inoffensive content. We're just a bunch of people sharing stories, images, and videos of bodies of water that leave us in awe, wonder, and trepidation. Whenever we do police content, it's usually because it's a repost or focuses on a sea creature rather than the vastness of the ocean or the unknown depths of a body of water. We prefer for the ocean/water to play the primary role in content." #3Orcas In The Waves

View more comments The mods said the 'Thalassophobia' community is very passionate and filled with both ocean-fearing and ocean-loving people. "Based on previous polls we've had in the subreddit, it's split roughly 50/50 between those [two groups]." "Although half of the community loves the ocean, everyone understands that there are people with a phobia of large/deep bodies of water and everyone is respectful of that in their posts and comments. It's a great community to be a moderator in," they explained. Specific phobias tend to fall into these five categories:Animal type;Blood-injection type;Natural-environment type;Situational type;Other. Thalassophobia is usually considered to belong to the natural-environment type. These fears are experienced more frequently, with some studies also suggesting that water-related phobias are more common among women. #6Uhhhh There s More Than Just Kelp And Angelfish Down Here Over

View more comments The causes of specific phobias, including thalassophobia, are not entirely understood, and often differ from case to case. But according to a common explanation, it's usually a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Research shows that certain genes are associated with certain specific phobias, but as of yet no studies have looked at the genetics behind thalassophobia in particular. However, following the Darwinian theory of evolution, there should still be at least some. #14The Big One

View more comments Think of it like this: our ancestors also came across deep bodies of water, and those who were cautious of the dangers they possessed may have avoided them, living longer to pass down their genes. This theory is supported by research that indicates that specific phobias are moderately heritable. Although the exact percentage can vary, it has been found, for example, that for animal phobias, heritability is around 45%. #18A Howling Abyss

By associating a specific situation, such as being in deep water, with a panic response, over time a phobia of that situation can develop. #22Because All My Friends Say This Photo Of Me Freediving Gives Them The Willies

View more comments Phobias are chronic conditions that can worsen over the course of life and limit one's relationships and activities. The good thing is that they are also highly treatable, although the process isn't always pleasant. But only about 10-25% of people with a specific phobia ultimately seek help. This is likely due to avoidance behaviors, since treating a specific phobia does often involve confronting the feared stimuli. #26The Image That Started It All

View more comments Exposure therapy is a popular and effective choice for treating specific phobias, including fear of the sea. During it, a person faces their feared stimuli in increasing levels of intensity. For someone with thalassophobia, this might start with looking at photos of the sea on this subreddit, escalate to watching videos of the ocean or deep water, then visiting a big pool and taking a trip to the ocean. Through controlled exposure, the person learns that the feared stimulus itself is not dangerous, and they can begin to associate it with more positive outcomes. #30There s Something Particularly Terrifying About The Idea Of Water You Can t Even Float In

While there have been a few people who have fallen in and drowned, whether or not aeration would cause a human not to float hadn't really been tested until more recently. It turns out humans can float in an aeration tank, and it's now thought that those who drowned died of other complications. They still keep the signs up, though, since the tanks are still dangerous in general, and also because they're full of icky water that no one should really want to be in. 210 210points reply View More Replies...

I have been scuba diving in very deep but very clear ocean water and it was fine. I have done swims across a small freshwater lake where I KNOW the biggest creature is no threat to me, and my brain staring into the infinity below me starts hallucinating giants just out of sight below me. I think it is that humans aren’t used to having “from below” as a direction of potential threat.
