    Default Phobias

    Okay what is your phobia?

    My phobia is ferris wheels. I hate them but weird thing is I will go on it but then I end up freaking out and just look down at my feet the entire time... OH and if someone rocks the cage or seats, it's over.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    I use to have a fear of heights... but I overcame that fairly quickly when I jumped out of a plane

    now it's:

    1). Heights.
    2). Spiders, bees, wasps, or any kind of flying, jumping, biting, or stinging insect. (Scares the shit out of me and gives me the creeps)
    3). Needles (yes 3 tattoos and nipple rings, but I still cry when I have to get a shot).
    4). Drowning.
    5). Public Speaking (I stutter when I get nervous, which sucks because I would be an awesome addition to Saturday Night Live with my impressions).

    This is one people always make fun of me about, but: Balloons. The latex ones. They give me the freakin' willies. The mylar ones are okay though. I found out the reason why fairly recently from my mother, and it's a long story that basically boils down to her tying them to my wrists when I was a wee lad and me screaming blue murder because I didn't like them. Which she thought was funny. NICE. THANKS MOM!

    Needles and blades--anything that could perforate my epidermis. Even TV shows with medical themes bother me.

    Poor CO! I have a lot of fun when I have blood drawn or an IV inserted (suggesting which vein, laughing when blood shoots into the vial...) My ex would faint if he saw his own blood. I thought that was strange- his mom was a nurse for years....
    Needles don't bug me. But cuts do- I grew up in a dirty house in the country, so stuff like that was a real concern.
    Phobia? Something happening to my loved ones.

    I hate darkness and my biggest fear is falling down the stairs. When I was a little whipper-snapper in little old Ukraine the most common murder in the movies was throwing someone down the stairs..

    1. Worms (They're just nasty. Can't even walk down the sidewalk like a normal person after it rains sometimes.)

    2. Alien Abduction (I have no idea why either. I feel like that's kinda narcisistic of me. I mean, out of all the humans on earth why do I think they'll pick me?)

    1. Spiders (and to a lesser extent other poisonous insects - only crawly ones, not flying ones)(This can be blamed on my mother, who used to incessantly tell this story about when she found me eating a tarantula when I was a baby. She thinks it's funny.)
    2. Heights
    3. Needles (but not knives, funnily enough)
    4. Public Speaking (unless I'm well prepared, in which case it's a rush and great fun)

    Elevators-I was stuck in one as a kid in Florida, but I go on them as needed.

    Electrocution-I electrocuted myself twice as a kid, in little old Ukraine

    Nuclear War-I CANNOT watch that scene in Terminator II, I've read waaaay too many books about Hiroshima

    Every night when I go to bed alone, I wake up after a few hours, covered in sweat, in the dark, convinced that someone is in my house planning to torture and kill me. So I have my mace and stun gun right by the bed. I don't know the point though, if they are quiet enough, they can just pick it up off my nightstand and use it on me. My little cottage is VERY EASY to break into......

    Kat- keep a knife under the pillow. Or buy a gun and make like James Bond. Hell, I wouldn't dare break into your house. If you still lived in little old Ukraine, the KGB would have recruited you a looong time ago.....(that's a compliment.)

    I'm a huge emetaphobic and have some social anxiety as well. The emetaphobia is really bad though and makes life really hard sometimes

    I have major test anxiety.
    I don't like to be underwater and get creeped sometimes driving over a body of water (fear of my car going over and sinking).
    I have a huge fear of being pregnant. Lucky for me (and probably the rest of the world) I never have been.
    I also have a fear of being unwell, like having anything majorly wrong with me health wise.

    Piers. I'll go on them but I have to walk down the exact center. For some reason I feel like the wind will just whoosh me over the side.

    Planes. I become very anxiety ridden about halfway through the flight which prompts me to drink excessively or pop large amounts of xanax.

    I also have a strange fear of tripping and scraping my teeth on the asphalt.

    I'm very weird.
    I have a fear of most elevators. Mainly glass ones. I only don't mind enclosed ones. But if I see outside the elevator for even a second, I'm crying. I get a great work out on the stairs. Once I was trapped for two hours in a bus way because they closed the stairs and only had the elevator running.
