What are your fears/afraid of?

What are your fears? What are you afraid of?

Me i'm scared of heights , but it's getting better, fear of death, people dying such as close family members, boyfriend.

Also don't like clowns *shudders* and the weirdest one is that I'm scared of MOTHS!! A big one got into my boyfriends house last night, and was flying around, I kept screaming and hiding under the covers on the couch.

Later it was in our bedroom, hid under the covers, don't know if we ended up getting him or not...

Hey this is gonna sound kinda stupid probably but I'm scared. I don't know what of though. At first I thought it could be autophobia but I'm not sure now. I'm just always looking for things I think are out to get me, even though I know that nothing could. I've felt like this for as long as I can remember and it's getting worse. I am female and 17 years old. This mostly occurs at night and/or in the dark. It's like I'm scared of things that don't exist. I feel like a child. Can anybody help?

I have an illogical fear of vomiting that prevents me from doing what I used to do all the time, like go out with my friends.

sharks

Postby silly » Thu Jul 21, 2005 7:54 pm

I have developed an intense fear of sharks. I grew up near the ocean, and always had a healthy fear of them (yknow, didnt want to get bit, avoided schools of fish, etc). But I never let it interfere with my love of surfing and of the ocean. Now I live far from the ocean for the first time in my life, and I am extremely phobic of sharks all of a sudden. I have nightmares about them almost every night, and on a recent vacation to California, felt panicky just being close to saltwater, and extremely nervous just watching people surf, something I used to enjoy. I dont think I can go back in the water. Ridiculous, I know, but I am actually sweating just thinking about them. Why it started now is beyond me??

I never really thought about it before but I guess there are quite a number of things that I am afraid of. Fear that paralyzes or that can trigger a panic attack...

bats
spiders
bees, wasps, hornets, etc.
dentists
driving on the freeway
being in the dark
being lost
being alone in an unfamiliar place
seat belts
heights
horses
cows
meeting people
speaking in front of people
that my clothes will suddenly just fall off when I am out in public
small spaces, like a closet, bathroom stall
using a step ladder...no way jose! hehe
going out in public where people can see me
when a family member is hurt and bleeding


those are the ones I can think of right off hand.
