    Postscript: And, irrational as it is, bees.

    Fear of bees is not irrational IMHO. Hubby found out two years ago that he suddenly has a severe allergy to them. He'd been stung several times earlier that same year and never reacted but that last one almost did him in! Thank goodness he was with his club or I might've lost my hubby to a damn bee! He was stung again this year and was prepared with his epipen and some benadryl but still had to go to the ER for follow up. Scary stuff!

    Personally, I have a fear of falling. Most of the time it's no biggee but I sometimes get panic attacks (freeze up and/or cry - so embarrassing) when hiking if the terrain gets rocky and there are few/no trees to grab on to for support. Geez, just typing about it makes my palms sweat!
    ETA: I figure this fear is somewhat rational because I had a bad fall when I was little that led to panicked relatives and a trip to the hospital in an ambulance. Which reminds me, I also have a feer of walking on icy surfaces for the same reason, but it doesn't cause panic attacks.

    Well...I've never been stung. Ever. And I don't even think it would hurt. I just don't want to be stung.

    Abandonment and loosing everything......

    oh...and that clown kinda tops the list also.....

    PS....unless you are allergic, there is really no need to be afraid of bees....they normally will not even sting unless frightened themselves.....

    I have been a bee keeper for years, never wear protection except maybe a veil in the middle of the summer, and have never been stung......they are fascinating little beings♥

    3. Fear of having more panic attacks. Fear of fear!:sad:

    Bridges. Mostly it is the idea of bridges collapsing or falling off but just being on a bridge is scary enough.

    I've never been stung either, and I have a huge fear of it. I think the longer you go without being stung, the worse the fear gets.

    Losing people I love, and my house catching on fire. Not sure why...but I will check things numerous times before leaving my house to make sure everythings turned off. (curling iron, coffee pot, etc.)
