I don't know about you, but my fears at times make me act very irrational. Some of my fears are tame… normal… others… well...
My main fears are:
1.) Fear of Spiders… you know those black hairy ones… the ones that hop towards you when you go to kill them… Ick... {{Shudder}} I usually sick my cat on them. He will play with them, letting them think they might escape, then he eats them only to throw them back up a few minutes later. Hee hee…. I know I'm twisted…lol
2.) Vomiting… This is one of those fears that makes me act very irrational. I know there is nothing that anyone can do about this... It is part of being human. But man when someone pukes… I run not walk in the other direction. The smell… the fear of catching it. When I know that the stomach flu is going around I wash mine and the kid’s hands in alcohol whenever we enter the house. I always feel guilty because of the way I act with this fear… I know I should be sympathetic… the good mom... wanting to take care of the sick kids… the sick adult etc… I just can't. I always freak.
3.) STD's this is another one of those fears that I have difficulty with. This one…my body and drive most times want to forget about. I HATE condoms I have been in a serious relationship for a long time so there was no need for them. But now… Anyway… I know I will be tempted to not use one in the heat of it, but I also know that I will panic and freak out afterwards if I don't. Even with tests… I'm still paranoid about this.
4.) Fear of man made heights over 20 floors. This fear is a strange one for me because I have no problem with bridges… I have no problem with looking off cliffs. It is just MAN MADE structures like downtown towers that I have difficulty with. I have had this fear since before 9/11 so that did not cause it. I just don't know what it is…
5.) Choking… I think this fear goes back to the fear of vomiting thing. Anything that makes me gag makes me squick. Some times it is a texture… custard I can not do. Other times a flavor… it is not so much the cutting off of air, but the gag that comes with the choke that bothers me.
6.) Fear of losing my kids. Because I have recently gone through separation, I have an irrational fear of losing my kids. When I'm not with them, I think about them constantly. I even stop by the house so that I can see them on the days I'm not supposed to be with them.
What are your fears?
