Yep, I wondered why I had the panic attic, nomophobia, now I understand. Sitting at the mall while my wife turns into the department store (my cue to find a bench, pull out the IPhone, bring up the Kindle app, sync with the book I’m reading at home, sit back and enjoy!). But reaching for it, the holder on my belt was empty... The IPhone was still at home charging. The reaction was panic, was it lost? Then anger at myself for being forgetful. Then a slowing if the heart rate and synapsis firings... Then a comatose boredom for 2 hours. So now I know what the attack was all about ... Nomophobia. Now I feel better.
so fear of having no more free republic is nofrephobia?
