What are you really and truly afraid of when it comes to being sick? Since now it is the "bug season" maybe we can all help each other a bit and start the road to recovery.

So, is it the actual act? Is it the loss of control? Is it the anxiety? Is it the fear of being ill in public? What actually is it?

Me, I am personally not afraid of being sick, it's others (my kids to be specific). I feel so sad and hurt for them when they are, and I feel helpless. I take care of them of course...but it is just that feeling of not being in control of something (i.e. a stomach bug) that gets to me. I get scared because of that. I hate it and I know it's a ridiculous fear and I am tired of it getting in the way of life so I am making changes.

Would love to hear others share their real fears as well!
