DO YOU HAVE AN INTENSE FEAR OF BEING WITHOUT YOUR CELLPHONE?

• Do you feel anxious if your cell phone isn't nearby?
• Does just the thought of losing your phone make your heart pound?
• Do you keep an extra phone on hand, just in case your primary phone breaks?
• Do you sometimes take it to bed with you?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you may be a nomophobe.

Nomophobia is the fear of being without your cell phone, and it's a phobia that's on the rise.

An online survey found that 66% of the 1,000 people surveyed say they fear losing or being without their phone. 70% of women fear losing their phones, compared with 61% of men.

18 to 24-year-olds tend to be the most nomophobic (77%).

According to allaboutcounseling.com, nomophobes can be treated by exposure therapy.

But if it's really bad, you might consider medication.
