Fears and phobias

Not necessarily food related. :-)

We all have weird things we are scared of or nervous of, right?

Mine -

phobia = spiders. Utterly horrified. infact anything with more than 4 legs freaks me out. Can cope with a 12 inch rat, just, but a 1/2 inch bug freaks me right out.

fear - public speaking. I'm a pretty confident person socially, but stick me in front of a room full of people and I become a gibbering, shaking, crying wreck. did a course recently and burst in to tears in front of the cmpany management group. The trainer now talks to me like I'm a bit simple. Bang all chance of promotion.

You?

    Snakes and falling. It's strange, I'm not really afraid of heights. If there is a barrier or something, I'm completely fine, but if it's like a ledge, I'm terrified.

    Wasps. I can't be anywhere near one. I'll run out of a room if there's one in, and I've jumped off a moving bus to avoid one before. Only after screaming and crying and running around the bus flapping my arms around. That was about two years ago.

    BALLOONS and anything that makes a sharp popping noise (firecrackers/fireworks, guns, etc.) INSTANT anxiety issues - sweaty palms, heart pounding, brain going "OMG get me out of here!!"

    Phobia: Needles. I dont just not like them... I have bitten a dentist, made a nurse bleed, and knocked over a tray stand thing. I have no idea what it is, but i will cry like a little girl, have such bad anxiety, that my viens collapse and it makes it hard to even get a freeking needle in.... I had to have an IV for a CAT scan once, and they had to strap my arms down (with my blessing days ahead). I dont know why but its been like that since i was little. THANK GOD for valium or id never get stuck. Funny thing is, its the injecting part, because im fine with piercings.

    Fears: I dont want to lose my dad.
