Umm....I'm kind of pathetic...I'm quite the paranoid person....

Heights don't bother me all the time, but if I feel I have a chance of falling, I'm scared to death. At parts hiking up to the top of Mt. Timpanogos I was getting really paranoid.

Flying makes me nervous....but I've only flown once, and it was to Idaho, so not too far....

I used to LOVE bugs as a kid, they didn't scare me at all. I still like most bugs (praying mantis are the best!) but I HATE spiders. Not too long ago there was a spider on the wall above my bed (a large one too). I got up the guts to get a tissue and kill it, but the problem is, I tried and didnt get him.......so he fell...IN my bed! I screamed, lol...and then I lifted my pillow to find him, and he jumped out and I screamed again....at this point my dad came in and I had him kill it!

I'm absolutely terrified of speaking in public! And I wouldn't say I'm "afraid" to be in a group of large people, but it makes me uncomfortable...most of the time.

Just the thought of natural disasters freak me out.....especially Earthquakes......and Fire.......oh yeah, I'm kind of afraid of water too. Like, I love lakes/streams etc....love to wade in them.....but DEEP water, ack, that scares the crap out of me! If you've ever been to Yellowstone........some of those super deep blue pools that you can see clear to the bottom, those send chills down my spine when I look into them! I never really learned how to swim, so that's obviously a part of it!

And I really should not think about things so often. Just if my parents/family/friends go somewhere far, or if they are late, I'm constantly thinking what could have happened........quite often, for no apparent reason I'll think, "What if that's the last time I'll see him/her?"

I REALLY need to stop worrying so much!!
