I'm afraid of both but comparatively I am afraid of others being sick because then I have to worry about catching it. I get this feeling of helplessness, like I want to die, like I seriously can't handle it. It's a horrible feeling, and I want nothing more than to be able to be free from it. Aside from this phobia, I love my life, but this phobia drains every amount of joy from me possible. You're so not alone, there are so few here that ONLY fears themselves and not others, so don't think you're the only one.
In memory of the sweetest german shepherd I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I love you, Duncan. 3/12/02 - 12/19/11
