Aloha Friday the 13th!
Friday the 13th and its association with bad luck was first written about in 19th-century France. Fear of Friday the 13th causes some people to experience anxiety. Psychotherapist Donald Dossey coined the term paraskevidekatriaphobia—derived from the Greek words Paraskevi (“Friday”), triskaideka (“thirteen”), and phobos (“fear”)—to describe the often paralyzing fear individuals experience relating to the date and to diagnose those who suffer from it. The fear is also sometimes diagnosed as friggatriskaidekaphobia, the joining of Frigg (the Norse goddess for whom Friday is named) with the term triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13).
