I'm Brontophobia

I'm afraid of thunderstorms, every times when it thunder and lighting strikes, my heart shudder. On magazine, it wrote, it might be due to childhood trauma. well, i do remembered one incident when it’s was raining heavily and my mom had no choice but to go out for awhile running errands, I was only in primary 3 or 2 I think. I kept the lights on in the kitchen and living room and waited for my mom to come back, and i was alone in the kitchen when a sudden thunder caused a blackout. Of course, I was scared, timid and started crying. I didn’t know what to do except to cry and cry and it kept raining. The whole house was dark except for light from the greyish sky and white lighting flash. For dunno how long, I heard my mom's approaching footstep along the corridor, and I felt a huge relief.

Til now, I will try all my best to stay indoor or under any solid shelter whenever it rains and turn worst to thunderstorm.
