Moths!!!!! But they hate me too they always swoop towards me like I'm a candle or something and when I was a child 1 flew in my mouth and I nearly choked so It's not as irrational as some people say it is

Knowing that im losing my mind, that im slowing down mentally, that im forgetting things and that i've lost my drive to write and to create and to become more.. these fears turn to depression.. it gets scary when i think too much,
-
Calling people on the phone. I just feel so uncomfortable. Also, although it's not really a fear, I'm not very good at expressing affection.
-
Excessive worry that my contributions to this web site will not be noticed or appreciated... even scorned! That is only a minor fear however. I have two irrational fears: I had very a very bad childhood dentist (mean, cranky, no patience, etc.) he should have been a prison guard or someone who installs electric fences for a living. As a result of this insensitive man, I have feared dental work (not the dentist himself, but the shots and the procedures) ever since about age 16. I did not go for about 7 years straight, until I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted. Then my teeth were a mess, so I had to do something. Having talked about phobias and fears here, I will admit I have worked on this dental fear professionally, and now I can go and do go, but still with some mild anxiety. I generally listen to a tape on Fear of Dentists the day I am to go, and it relaxes me quite abit. I also have a fear of FLYING. I can fly in my dreams (if I am the one doing the actual flying) but not in planes. Fortunately at this stage of my life I do not have to fly anywhere and I would not **unless** someone paid me an obscene amount of money, in which case I would invest $25. or so of it on Dramamine, so I could sleep the entire plane trip and end up wealthy once the plane had safely landed. If the plane crashed, I would be asleep, so that would not be so bad.
-
Throwing up. It's called emetophobia.
-
Balloons, spiders, and once in a while I will think "Oh my God, did my heart stop beating?" Then I have to check my pulse to see if it's still there.
-
Frogs... I know people think they are cute.. but anything that has a smiley mouth that goes from one side of it's head to the other is just wrong! Look at any picture of a frog... it's smiling - what's so funny???!

I'm icthophobic. I'm afraid of fish.

I have fear of electricity and fire. Every day at night when I go to bed, I have this fear I will wake with blast in my house from the gas furnace and whole house is burning. This is not only a fear, it haunts me always before sleeping. I always say a prayer asking God protect the home and all who are sleeping in my house. It is so very irrational and have no clue how to tell myself that house will not go on fire or electrical wires won't have a short-circuit leading to fire.
-
Yes. Most people do even if they don't state as much. Mine are fear of the dark. Its just the fear of knowing what could be in the room that can't be seen. Scared to death of unfinished basements. Somehow this ties into the dark. And it is underground which just freaks me out. Spiders are in the fear group. Too many legs and they are just creepy.

I have a highly irrational fear of vomit/vomiting. -I can't ride amusement park rides that go slow and/or in circular motions. -I won't go on cruises or ships unless absolutely necessary. -I wash my hands constantly to avoid catching anything. -I won't eat or drink after anyone. Even family. -I won't eat certain foods on hotter days, even if I will be inside a majority of the day. -I won't eat foods that I got sick after eating. -I can't watch movies or shows with vomiting in them, or I start to freak out. -I refuse to be in a room with vomit, or that someone got sick in that day (don't care if it's cleaned up) -I panic when people say they don't feel well -I start breathing heavy and sweating when any situation that involves vomit occurs. I've been known to cry. -If there is anything that would have me believe that I or someone else will be sick in their stomach, I won't partake in it, or I just stay in my room or wherever. :(

I fear pickles, how stupid is that!...I mean, not just hate/despise them...I mean, I can't be anywhere NEAR them!, I can't look at them, or smell them. I get chicken skin if I am around them, or see them, backed by the chills. It's unexplainable...guess I'm lucky it's just pickles.

" Irrational fear"? If somthing is irrational; without reason - how can you balance one against another. If there is no sane reason for either how can one be worse. Now if the concern is the acting upon or not acting upon such fear than they could quantified. Such as would polar bears be as bad as a fear of getting out of bed ever day?

Failure

heights

Eternal punishment.

Starfish, corals, sea anemones, sea urchins, sea shells,... AHHHHHH! Just about anything in the sea. :( And I can't swim.

I am scared of things touching my neck. Even though I am not into occulty things, sometimes I giggle about the possibility that I might have been hung in a past life. When I was a kid, turtleneck sweaters were in. All of them got stretche3d out since I spent the whole day pulling them off of my neck. Lovers can't touch or kiss me on the neck or...sometimes they do, and that halts all the action, as I spend the whole time tensing my whole body and waiting for it to be over or...worse, getting my flat hand on their forehead and pushing them entirely away like a spatula getting a pancacke off the bottom of the pan.
-
Ugh, I always get scared when I got to the beach and wade in shallow water that a huge shark is going to come and bite my leg off, or I will step on a poisonous sea urchin, or I will get stung by a stingray or some baracuda is going to bite me. I also fear swordfish and jellyfish.
-
yes, I definitely do. 1. Falling. Any sort of drops at all and i panic. 2. Needles, as the result of my family doctor as a child. He gave me a LOT of blood tests. 3. Small spaces (claustrophobia) 4. Bees and wasps, after watching my sister get stung as a kid. 5. Dead things, even bugs 6. Cobwebs. I find them disgusting. 7. The dark, only because it triggers my claustrophobia if i can't see how big the room is.
