    Fear of Falling! I always have been afraid of falling from great heights. Ever since my accident, I have been afraid to walk across the room without using my walker.

    Also fear of spiders. However, I will not kill one if I have to climb to do so. Because my fear of falling is worse then the fear of the spider.

    Oh my goddess, Lut you're right on the dot!

    Getting stuck in elevators are such a big one for me, too, I don't know how I forgot about it. If you've ever been to the Grand Canyon Caverns, then you'd be in the freakiest one, ever. It goes some thing like three hundred feet under ground and you get to tour and they turn out all the lights at one point. They have a perfectly preserved cat, (I forgot what kind it was) that had died a long time ago, because it died on a big slab of limestone (that's what they said). It was very interesting but I don't know if I'd ever do it again. You can see through all the cracks of the elevator and it's creaky. Very creepy.

    My biggest fear is of the dark!!!

    I cannot even begin to describe my fear of the dark. When, I'm at a sleepover or something and with someone I know and trust in a dark room, I can careless, but when I'm alone!! Omg, I cannot be alone in the dark, I always have a light on when I go to sleep.

    I sort of have a fear of sharks and alligators to. Not to much sharks, but alligators. I hate going by lakes in florida for this reason. I cannot go by a lake alone in florida or I totally freak out. I once saw a fish in the water and my first thought was "ALLIGATOR!" I totally freaked out and ran away. I was so embarrased but that fish was pretty big.

    I also hate scary movies/shows. I cannot stand them. I sometimes think things like this happen and it could happen to me or someone in my family. I get all freaked out and I ALWAYS go to my bedroom when my parents watch CSI and coldcase. The scariest movie I probably have ever watched is POTC 2 and thats not even scary. I do watch the movies called "Scary movie" lol I love those because they make fun of my least favorite movies.

    Wasps (Yellow Jackets). I am highly allergic to their stings and just panic when they come near me. I also have a fear of being in water (swim like a stone) although I love being near water (strange).

    I can honestly say that I'm not afraid of much at all....not even death.

    However I can say that I'm afraid of fire in my condo. I'm OK with campfires and other sources of flame but if my condo ever caught on fire I don't know what I would do. Would rationalization kick in or would I be paralyzed in fear??? I don't know and I don't want to find out.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Thunder and Lightning -I hide with Dugan in the basement.
    Open stairs - the kind that aren't solid. I have trouble with depth perseption so they really freak me out.
    Water if I can't touch bottom. When learning to swim my instructor held me underand I couldn't hold my breathe that long.
    I am working on all of these fears hubby patiently teaching me to swim. Tyson loves lightning so I of course have to be with him.
    Stairs well hubby leads be eyes closed on them .

    Well, my only real phobia is the dentist. I know exactly what they do and I know it doesn't hurt, but I'm still terrified. I do have some slight fears, not "scream and run" types of fears, but "avoid this thing" fears. I have a fear of birds. I love birdwatching, but I stay respectfully away. Long necked birds like flamingos and geese. Something like a pigeon or a chicken I can hold in my hands, but I still feel fearful when I'm holding them.
