    Bridges

    use to be afraid of Birds till I worked at a zoo had to get over that one quick but if I hear a bird in flight or wings flapping near me I will still cringe and heartrate goes crazy.

    But all other animals bring it on I will love them all creepy crawlies, slimey, scaley, furry, claws and all.

    Men, oddly enough. And crowds of people, the space doesn't matter.

    This is why I'm taking upwards of a dozen pills a day so I don't freak out.

    I did have a phobia of planes but after I had to ride 4 last year (each way had a transfer flight so I guess technically you could say twice) I'm not so bad about them. But I do still hate them.

    My biggest is claustrophobia which includes mazes, airplanes and elevators.

    Also bees or wasps, brigdes, heights and the ocean.

    Oh and Pee wee effin Herman:noway:

    Sometimes when I turn off the light switch to my bedroom on the wall by the door, I have to literally run and bound into my bed and under the covers..... hehehe ---- For real, no lie!

    Wasps. I struggle to be outdoors in summer, I stay awake at night until I can be sure there's no buzzing, I watch open windows like a hawk in the office, I refuse to open doors at home and I check every room in the summer months upon entering.

    A few years ago I ran around a moving bus screaming and crying before I forced the driver to open the doors and let me off, because there was a wasp on the bus. I also have a car with no fan/air con, and keep the windows closed all summer and drive around dying of dehydration because I can't risk a wasp entering the car.

    The weird phobia - The garbage disposal - whenever its on, I feel like there is a magnetic pull forcing me to put my hand close to it (which i dont - cause thats crazy) but i feel the urge.

    The normal phobia - Flying. (but attivan cures that right up) :drinker:

    Claustrophobia.. not like elevators, but narrow spaces where I can't really move my arms much.

    Ugh.. same!

    i'm scared of heights. I'm also TERRIFIED to die. I know you won't know when it happens. But the thought of not seeing or being around my family and friends and just done. Scares me.

    Escalators! I can go up on them, but I can't go down.

    Me too! I will walk way out of the way to find stairs or an elevator if there is an escalator going down. I don't mind them going up though.

    THIS! And zombies, seriously...

    My step daughter can't even watch the promos for Walking Dead she's so scared of Zombies. I would laugh but it's not funny since I'm scared of the dentist :blushing:

    electricity. like, dangerous situations arising from the presence/misuse of it. it's hard for me to plug things in or unplug them, or change lightbulbs. i obsessively check over wires for cuts/nicks. having a cat has made it worse -- i'm always afraid he'll get himself hurt. i can't deal with lightning storms.
    i actually just started treatment for this... they're going to make me plug things in and unplug them a lot. and change lightbulbs :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
