What are triggers of chronophobia?

The fear, dread and anxiety of chronophobia can happen for several reasons. Milestones such as holidays, birthdays, graduations and anniversaries can trigger this phobia. These triggers spark concerns about:

• Not having control over the fact that time is passing them by.
• Their own mortality. They may also have an extreme fear of death or dying (thanatophobia).
• Time feeling “immense” (very big) or overwhelming.
• Time moving too slowly.
