    Big freaking water bugs. I just shivered typing that down. I scream bloody murder when I see one. I don't know how the heck they get in the house but on occasion they do and OMG I cannot handle that at all. If I see one I get my hubby to chase it down while I go to another room and close the door. Then for days after I feel paranoid and like something is crawling on me.

    Did I mention that they make a lot of noise? Once I was in the shower and I kept hearing this scratching noise. I thought that maybe a squirrel got in the attic or something. I am hurrying so I can get out and when I open the shower curtain to grab my towel I look up as I hear the noise and I see a freaking antanae and leg peeking out of where the heat lamp is. Somehow it got behind the bulb and was stuck. Ugh!

    BTW, still have shivers and goosebumps thinking about them.

    I can't walk on things I can see through. It all started with a nightmare I had when I was a toddler where I fell through some stairs like these:

    Omg me too. I am terrified on stairs when I can see through the open slats! Crazy!

    I don't know if this is irrational or not (I think it is) but I am so terrified that someone is going to break into my house while my son & I are sleeping...I booby trap the doors, make sure all windows are secured & have various weapons throughout the house just in case...Also, I don't sleep at night very much (which is why I am on here still at 2am almost)..If I hear the slightest noise I am up & looking through the house & turning on lights so people outside trying to get in know that I am awake...I hate living alone b/c of this...

    Also, spiders bring chills up my spine...I have seen so many lately that I lift the toilet seat up to check for them before I sit down b/c I heard of a lady being bit by one on the toilet & having some flesh eating disease from it & had to get her leg amputated...Crazy s@#t!!

    There are more but I would be going on all night....Clowns, & porcelain dolls - I think they come to life at night... :noway:

    Thank goodness I have a boy b/c I wouldn't allow dolls in this house...No way!!

    my teeth falling out is my biggest fear! i think it started when i got braces and my teeth loosened and shifted. They're fine now, not loose at all but i wake up in a cold sweat after nightmares of losing teeth. I also have an issue with slimey hands like from too much lotion or something. even when taking a shower i have to wash shampoo on my hand off each time i touch my shampooed hair

    Stairs somewhat... going down stairs definitely gives me anxiety.

    Don't like snakes. Don't like bugs. Act irrationally around any insect and completely avoid snakes.

    Automatic car washes.

    This too...I feel claustrophobic & think the spinners are going to smash the windows & the truck/car won't move to get out.... My truck stays pretty dirty on the outside unless we get some good rain...lol

    The "bridges" in shopping malls. I always had this irrational fear that the floor would crack and I would fall and die. My worst fear became a reality when the floor actually did crack on the second floor of this mall near where I live. No one was hurt, but still it freaked me out...

    Snakes, clowns, and love (often feel like I'm not worthy of the good stuff)...

    Well...I have diagnosed OCD, so I have a pretty long list. :laugh:

    Lightning and spiders top my more benign list. Wolf spiders terrify me and they get HUGE here in Texas, but they're not even dangerous!

    Spiders! I scream like a little girl and RUN out of the room

    I've never been afraid of heights but I found out last summer that walking across a rope bridge was something I could not make myself do. I actually stood there and questioned myself as to what the hell the problem was. Strange.
