Re: What are you irrationally afraid of?
Snakes. WTF? They have no feet yet they somehow get around. Yuck. ::shudders::
My biggest fear is living without Kelly. What the hell would I do without him? Who would I call when I have something exciting? Who would I talk to when I'm feeling sad. Who would translate the world news for me? Who would be my best friend? What the heck would my life even be like without him? I can't even begin to imagine. It would be awful.
Snakes, bees, wasps, spiders, fish- all of which I have had to deal with since we moved. Ick. I would say toads and frogs, but I have gotten to the point where I can look at them without wanting to cry.
Someone looking in my windows at night.
Something happening to my kids, parents or husband, whether they are with me or not.
I also do not go into water I can't see into- I will go up to my knees and that is about it.
Feet. I really hate feet. And I can only really stand my children's feet. No one elses.
This. I still check on my 2 1/2 year old 2-3 times a night.
Needles. I have had mild panic attacks when having to get the flu shot. But only if its in a place I can see. I can get shots in my mouth and got my epidural easily.
Raccoons. Never seen one in real life, but I fear getting attacked by one.
Getting sliced in the back of the ankles
omg, where do I start?
suffocating
someone hurting/kidnapping/killing my child
ticks
tornados
this tree trunk in our front yard curves just right, and when the street light hits it, it looks like a guy standing by my deck. Makes my heart jump nearly every time.
Ultimate freak out - I'm in a tent, tornado is coming, ticks are getting in the tent, and there is a guy standing outside the tent (you can see his silouette) and he's waiting to kill me.
Dying in a car accident with my kids, or DH dying in a car accident.
Seriously, I have panic attacks when I drive anymore. I should probably see someone about it before I become a hermit and never leave the house. I tell my DH to drive carefully every.single.morning. In the winter, I make him call me when he gets to work.
It is sickening, and the older I get (or the more kids I have) the worse it gets.
My #1 thing is that I am claustrophobic. Want me to freak out? Try pulling the covers up over my head or putting an oxygen mask on my face. . . it's not pretty, I can assure you...
Other than that, I am afraid of heights, drowning and sharks. Also, I don't like being in water that I can't see in - I am afraid that something will grab me an pull me under (like a shark) Oh and snakes...snakes are gross. *shudders*
Above all of those things, my biggest fear is that something will happen to the DH, or that something will happen to me that means I won't get to see our kids grow up (silly, I know, since we only just started TTC - but there it is). When we got married, my husband was on the fence about having kids...now that we are trying to start a family, I am afraid that something is going to happen to prevent that. That terrifies me.
