What other fears do you have?

[1scareddj]

I seem to be afraid of everything these days...i was just wondering what are some things that you all are afraid of?


I'll start


In addition to me emet:


I am afraid to v* while driving


I am afraid to pass out while driving


I am afraid to pass out


I am afraid of doing that stuff in front of other people.


I am afraid to ever have to be in a hospital or ambulance....


am I weird?? These are things that I think about all the time when I am panicing.

[calibmom24]

You are not weird at all!!! I am afraid of getting a terrible disease, I have a fear of dying or that family members will die, getting in a car accident. I have lots of fears. I could go on and on.

Besides my emetophobia I am absolutely terrified of spiders and centipedes. Ugh, those things are awful--if I come face to face with one I completely freeze.
Plus, I cannot stand dolls or puppets or clowns. I think it's because when I was little I had tons of dolls in my room, and at night they frightened me (I thought they were staring at me!) so I turned them all around so they were facing the wall. Well, my sisters--trying to scare me-- came in when I was asleep and turned them all forward, except for one. It was a freaky clown doll and they put it on the chair right next to me so when I awoke it was staring me in the face. I had nightmares for weeks and my mom had to eventually give all my dolls to my cousin. I didn't even want them in the same house--I thought at that point they were alive and would come after me.To this day I cannot even be in the same room as dolls (or puppets or clowns) without feeling really uncomfortable. I know, kind of childish. Especially since I'm 31!
So, no you're definitely not the only one!

I have all of those fears you mentioned above as well as some others


1. having my house broken into and being held up at gunpoint (happened once before when i was in college and living in a not-so-good area of town)


2. Sleeping with the light off- in relation to fear #1


3. v* in my sleep and waking up as its happening


4. fear of dying in my sleep (if i am going to die, I think i should at least be awake so i know whats going on)


5. fear of having a heart attack


6. driving at night


7. driving more than an hour away by myself


8. my parents dying


9. my brothers dying


10. choking and being alone and having to perform the heimlich on myself.

Man yeah I have a couple I can classify as phobias:

-fear of loud noises
-fear of going to the docs/hospitals ect (if I am the patient) ugh!! I am getting better with it but still....[img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]

I have many things I am afraid of, but these I don't think can fully classify as phobias (tho some may come close), these are the main ones:

-fear of getting some awful disease,
-fear of loved ones dying
-fear of being out of control of myself in general
-fear of being too far from a restroom for too long (I have real mild IBS, and I think most of its mental, but I get anxious especially if I am with other people who may not understand and I have to be far from a br).

and there are others that I cant think of at the moment. Urgh I guess I am a rather anxious kind of person, but it is a lot better than it used to be...

[Girlygirl1980s]

A lot of our fears are similar. I am also terrified of:


1. Spiders and centipedes.


2. Choking (especially if alone).


3. Going to the dentist.

[marby]

1. Flying


2. Choking

[calibmom24]

Oh my gosh! I agree with chritianne. I forgot to put that I am deathly afraid of clowns!!!

[rubysoho120]

-heights

-flying

-being robbed

[one who squeaks]

Failure, driving, driving, driving, failure, driving, failure, failure, driving, and, strangely enough, blindness.



The fear of failure really holds me back. There are times when I'm
afraid to make a sandwich because I'll "do it wrong" and be criticised.
And I'm 21. *laughs*

[1scareddj]

I forgot to add that I am afraid of clowns too LOL....I hate them....


I guess now the more I think about it:


-spiders


-family dying


-friends dying


-appendacitis


-pregnancy


-getting fired!

[confusedgirl]

I'm pretty much afraid of all disease... and flying... and death (my own and death of friends/family/pets). and violence/weapons (espescially guns, even fake ones make me nervous!). And getting peoples names wrong haha (I will avoid using someone's name when talking with them as much as possible, for fear that I'll get their name wrong).

[kellybean]

I'm afraid of:


~BUGS!!! all of them


~loud noises


~not being liked


~meeting new people


~germs


~lakes, oceans, rivers


~ghosts


~and now, giving birth

[longgone]

Well...of course number 1 is vomitting. But also:



-Dying

-Dogs and other animals that can do harm

-Driving to unknown places (after an accident)

-My parents die

-Getting a serious illness (not reelated to vomitting)

-Getting old

-Height

I'm really afraid of the dark - I get panic attacks in total darkness. And I can't eat with the lights off, for some reason.

I'm also afraid of choking and burping, but I think those two are related to emet

I'm afraid of heights, but it's not *too* bad. Flying doesn't bother me at all (well, except for the risk of v*).

And, I've got a horrific fear of the ocean and all its creatures... Especially whales. But at the same time it intrigues me and I want to learn more about it. Whales just freak me out, though.

[cardinalgirl]

tornadoes. i am deathly afraid of them. if evena watch comes on tv, im in the closet . crazy i know.


amusment parks/circus..something is just so eerie about them!

[jenova]

Other than vomiting I'm afraid of losing control in anyway and of spiders. That's pretty much it. While I'm scared of spider and loss of control I don't know if I would go as far to say that they're phobias though, they aren't nearly as severe as my emet.

Glitta_fairy, I'm afraid of butterflies too!! Everyone laughs at me when I tell them.
