Fears and phobias
What are yours?
Mine are: squirrels, flying, and really long bridges (like the one to Maine, Montreal, etc.)

Re: Fears and phobias
I have a massive fear of walking on things I can see through (metal grates, glass, etc.) If I can see through it, I am not walking on it!
I also have a problem going down things, like hiking down hills or skiing. I'm not afraid of heights, and I can climb UP almost anything, but getting back down is always a challenge!
And I have a fear of mice, snakes, and most insects larger than an ant. :-)
I also have a fear of house fires: I dont use candles - EVER, and on occasion, I have turned around and driven back to my house out of fear that I left something on (despite whether or not it might even start a fire)... I also used to be terrified to use the crock pot because of this fear... but im over that now... it really is too convenient
REady to laugh?
Car washes, absolutely petrified of driving through there. I don't know what it is, I don't have anxiety, I am not slaustrophic, no idea, one time I was like I am gonna do it, but had my DH go with me, when we got up to pay I was like we need to switch... I can ride no problem, but to actually drive in there myself. - forget itI have been known to lose $10 before because I couldn't figure it out then a car came up behind me so I got nervous and just left.
I am terrified of vomiting and death. My general rule is that I won't do something that could make either one happen to me. (TTC should be a blast! LOL!) I also can't be around people who are sick, because I am a germaphobe.
I also hate snakes. A lot. I won't touch anything snake like (ie. eels) or scaley (ie. fish.) I also don't like bats and huge bugs with lots of legs. I am such a dork!
Spiders. Like just typing out the word makes my skin crawl. I am terrified of them. Even looking at a picture scares me, so it was nice last Apriil Fool's Day (2009) when DH decided to tape a huge pic of one on the tiolet seat, inside a kitchen cabinet and under my pillow. Good times.
I also have a fear of falling, open space heights (like walking across a bridge), long bridges....these all sort of go together.
I also have a fear of hitting someone with my car. I check my mirrors a million times before backing up.
I am also afraid of heights. I went to a seminar at the Times Union Center about a year ago and we ended up having to sit all the way at the top and I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack sitting up there. Yet, I am cool with going on roller coasters.. I think it is because I am strapped in.
FINALLY - someone that understands my fear of heights/love of roller coasters!!!! I say the same thing to DH - must be because I'm strapped in.
My two worst are vomiting and getting blood drawn, so pregnancy should be great at first for that. I'm sure it will help me overcome those, and I hope to work on them(at least the blood drawn thing) before we TTC.
Also snakes and spiders really give me the heeby-jeebies. I will make DH deal with those, in turn I take care of any creatures with more than 8 legs that find their way inside. Fortunately the dog takes care of most of the spiders and mili/centipedes. Snakes outside though, he just barks and cokks his head at those, he really doesn't understand what is going on there (and I don't blame him!).
