Yes, it is.  I would recommend consulting a psychotherapist who treats/specialized in phobias.

yes that is what it is called it is considered a phobia when your fear of it is completely irrational and you will do anything to avoid being put into that situation even if it messes with your daily routines no matter what is going on. IE I am terrified of storms i have a phobia and it is made worse when I am home alone and a storm comes up i will do anything to keep from being alone eCen if that means driving to wal-mart to be with someone there have been times i would hear thunder and climb in the closet turn the tv wide open to drown the sound out and close every blind to not see the lighting they have even caused me panic attacks in short i have a phobia and it *****!!!!!!!!!

I would see a specialist for help. Some phobias are easy to clear up and others aren't
