    Mainly bugs. I also have a strong fear of losing my hubby... and sometimes I have an agoraphobia problem where I will become overly terrified of anything for no reason whatsoever and yes.. that includes leaving my house in the middle of the day or talking to people.

    Then there are those WONDEROUS moments where I lie awake at night thinking about dying and it makes me so utterly afraid I can't breathe.

    My phobia started as a simple adversion however turned into a phobia when I moved to Arizona.

    Entomophobia: The fear of insects.

    I am originally from MN where there are tons of insects but very few dangerous ones. Since moving here we have not had a great deal of luck in rental properties. Black Widdows, Scorpions, Brown Recluse, and while I have been told multiple times that those big black carpenter bees are harmless they scare the **** out of me. Every time I find a new insect I have to try to figure out what it is which only makes it worse.

    ahhh or CRANE FLIES!!! they look like GIGANTIC MOSQUITOES everyone tells me they are harmless as well as those big carpenter bees and i just.. i just can't i freak out. 'water bugs' too.. those stupid things are cockroaches. I don't care what anyone says.:frown:

    Top three: Spiders, Latex Balloons, and Aliens.

    I've have aggressive panic attacks from each of these.. The alien one after having a dream about aliens coming to abduct me. I was paralyzed in my bed and couldn't breathe when I woke up.

    The holes one was fcking disgusting.. I don't mind holes, just not the weird *kitten* in people's skin. Thanks, Google Images.

    Most phobias are considered irrational, but I would consider mine pretty legit, though my husband would argue. I'm horribly afraid of needles. When I was 3 I had to get a shot in my leg for pneumonia, only the nurse who gave it to me must have been new or something because it wasn't warmed up to the right temperature (so wouldn't go in easily), so she decided to make it less painful by injecting it slowly. I don't remember it at all, but my mom said I was screaming bloody murder for the whole couple minutes it took to get in my leg. Ever since then I feel nauseous/sweaty/light headed just looking at a needle.

    I'm also scared of heights. No good reason for that one, except maybe common sense. :laugh: Insects, arachnids, and reptiles give me the heebie jeebies, but I can take them out.

    I also have caulrophobia. And uh.. a fear of people dressed in costumes with mesh over any part of the face so they can see.
    Seriously not cool.
    And equinophobia. Yep horsies. I had a special moment last week in the field with my manager and a customer on a farm. The customer tried to convince me that they were behind a fence and lovely. No dice *****. They are horses and if they want at me that flimsy fence aint doin ****.

    You know with the holes thing, I find lotus seed pods way more scary than holes in humans. Sure, the humans thing is gross but LOTUS SEED PODS!!! GTFO!

    Girl I feel you. The thought of death TERRORIZES me . I"m not sure if it's because I'm getting older or I've lost some close loved ones but damn, that's a scary thought!

    I have an irrational fear of jogging right now thanks to my knee injury. I'll get over it eventually, I can't not jog. :p

    A side irrational fear that has formed is slipping (and then falling) from the injury as well. Loose gravel, water on the floor. I better get over this fast otherwise winter is really going to suck! :p

    I try hard not to let anything get the best of me. I was a single parent so I had to be the brave one and teach my daughter to be brave!

    Heights and feer of falling or being pushed off of a building or a balcony. Watch "the Game" with Michael Douglas sometime. There is a famous fall in it. It's actually one of the most amazing movies ever.
