What is/are your biggest fears?

Apocalipstic · 11-21-2010, 02:07 PM

There are small things that creep us out...like giving a speech, worms, spiders, clowns. snakes, bugs....but what is your biggest fear?

I do not fear death.

What I fear most is family.

The Holiday season begins this week and I am sick at my stomach. Yes I go to therapy, yes, I meditate, yes yes yes, I do all the things I am supposed to and am on medication to make me not care.,

Yet.

I am almost frozen with fear.

diamondrose · 11-21-2010, 02:24 PM

I fear leaving familiar places and going to a unfamiliar place. I always have to tell myself to stop being ridiculous.

girl_dee · 11-21-2010, 02:33 PM

lots of people in buildings.. I know they are not going to smother me and suck all of the air out of the place but that is exactly what is going to happen.

diamondrose · 11-21-2010, 02:35 PM

i get terrified when i am in an elevator full of people. I will get off asap and wait for the next one to get to the floor i am headed to

I am terrified of the word "root canal"

Julie · 11-21-2010, 02:39 PM

Doctors..
I go (well am supposed to) for full body scans every six months.
I am terrified of enclosed spaces.
Needles.
I get biopsies fairly regularly and they involve LOTS of Needles.
Body Scans require Needles.
I used to have someone go with me for my biopsies and scans...
She is moving far away.
Now I have to go alone...and not have anyone hold my hand or feet.

Ohhhh - I am not afraid of dying or death
But I am afraid of donating my organs (even though I am)
And afraid of being cremated (even though I am).

I am a MESS!

Andrew, Jr. · 11-21-2010, 02:40 PM

My 2 fears:
1. Family
2. Being burned alive

Ah, my cake friend...I just had an MRI in an enclosed space...moved during the imaging and he has to do the whole thing over. I fear not getting thru it again. My greatest fear of all is not overcoming PTSD. Bad, bad implications.
You're not a mess, you need to bake my Watergate Cake and feel better.

Sam · 11-22-2010, 07:48 AM

any type of snake, dead, slithering, rattles. ANY

princessbelle · 11-22-2010, 08:00 AM

heights as in falling from or looking from or being in or thinking about

bugs of any kind, any color, any shape size or ID

A flat tire (I must get triple A, i keep forgetting)

Drowning (learning to swim is also on my to do list)

Something happening to someone I love (i'm a worrier)

the world running out of coffee

Blade · 11-22-2010, 08:13 AM

Heights, weird cuz I never was afraid of heights until the last few years. I get vertigo without warning so if I go up, I tether to something.

I fear losing more hours at work and then losing my house and truck, but I'm looking for a job so maybe something will come up at least maybe a part time job

I don't fear crowds but I'm not crazy about being around a a stadium full of people.

I do have a fire fear, but am told that comes from a previous life.

AtLast · 11-22-2010, 09:23 AM

So many of the things that I have feared in the past just don't bother me as much anymore. Don't know if this is a good or bad thing... After going through the deaths of 4 family members and a lover in a short time period, I was very fearful of cancer. Now, I have calmed and know that it is up to me to take care of myself and go in for preventive tests, etc. Not that I am perfect about this at all- those damn personal flaws!! FDR's "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself," rings true for me in terms of doing whatever I need to in terms of combating my own anxieties.

I do fear the rising of the far right to the point of gaining a majority in the US government, however.

Daddy Raven · 11-22-2010, 09:30 AM

I'm disabled and deal with chronic pain and mobility limits, so most of my fears revolve around that. I fear not being able to take care of myself when I'm older and losing my independence. I also fear being unwanted and a burden to others.

FlowerFem · 11-25-2010, 04:16 PM

Dying alone in a nursing home.

lipstixgal · 11-25-2010, 04:48 PM

Dying alone and not meeting anyone soon.

Bugs any kind especially cockroaches had when I lived in NYC it was awful!!

Certain Heights it could be an elevated area to.Animals in the garbage like oppossum, one was in the trash a couple of weeks ago I think dead..yucky

LipstickLola · 12-01-2010, 11:13 PM

My greatest fear, is what will become of my disabled daughter when I am gone......

I also 'fear' being in the midst of very large, over-powering crowds, the kind that carry you along *shudders*

Heights? I fear them too without railings, or something to hang on to. Zip lining wasn't for me

Gentle Tiger · 12-01-2010, 11:15 PM

That I didn't make a difference but only took up space.

Passionaria · 12-02-2010, 12:19 AM

The safety of my loved ones. I have very adventurous children. Especially my son. Sigh. He has epilepsy. I can't tell you how many times I have found him battered and bruised, bleeding from going face first onto the pavement while having a seizure. Any time any where. Sometimes when I look at his beautiful face my mind tells me love him while you can there are no guarantees you will see him again, and it scares me because I don't know how I could go on with out him, I love him so much.

lespere · 12-23-2010, 02:11 PM

My real - deep down fears:

Losing everything and being homeless
Being trapped in a small space I can't stretch out in - especially something where I am bent or folded over

My anxiety triggers - not quite the same for me:

Too much noise / stimulation
Being in a space with too many people
Getting yelled at without being able to leave the situation
Family "womens gatherings"

julieisafemme · 12-23-2010, 05:01 PM

Meat. Chicken in particular. Ground beef as well.

Especially the steak on Grey's plate right now!

JAGG · 12-23-2010, 08:38 PM

Heights. But I don't let it stop me from anything. I don't let it get in my way.
