    Irrational Fears? Not sure they are irrational, but....Not crazy about heights or enclosed spaces.

    Tried skydiving, rappelling and zip line tours to overcome it. I can force myself to confront these fears, but I can't overcome them.


    Rational fears? That I would live one second longer than one of my kids. Or my wife, for that matter. Selfish. I know.

    My life as a professional athlete ended this past week. It means nothing in reality, but it scared me to admit it was done. And i was slighlty embarrassed that it did.

    Endings are almost always disheartening, especially when we identify so strongly with what has been ripped away from us... but the future is looking good from where I stand, and I know you will take you will take this new hand and use it for something positive... :*

    I dropped something down the garbage disposal today and had to reach in and get it. All I could think about was the disposal mysteriously turning on with my hand in it. :grimace:

    I'm claustrophobic AF.

    I would rather have someone shoot me than go through a Baby Jessica event.

    Tests (those things students endure)! Long story short, I failed an important junior high test on a mere technicality, and have never looked/will never look at exams the same ever again. LSATs are gonna be a waking nightmare!

    Anything that has to do with the eyes. I fear the ophthalmologist because of the light and air puffs being shot into my eyes. I can't ever watch someone put in contact lenses. Hell, I can't even put eye drops into my own eyes.

    The hand that reaches out from under the bed and will grab my ankles if I am too close. I have no shame, I will jump as far to the door as I can.
