My biggest fears:
Sharks - to the point where I get scared in a chlorine pool if I think about it too long.
Claustrophobia - Can't handle when other people stand so close, we're touching shoulders. I start to sweat, and have been known to almost pass out.
Things being too tight around my neck - I start panicking on that, too. Can't handle wearing turtlenecks or chokers (or even collars or necklaces that are even the slightest bit touching my neck in the front) AT ALL.
Losing someone in a crowd (kinda akin to okiron's abandonment fear, and might just be the same darn thing) - Should've seen me on my way out of Disneyland on Christmas Eve...claustrophobia AND the fear of losing either Danny or Em in the crowd...that stunk.
Getting lost - I have to have exact directions
written down for EVERYWHERE I go (telling me isn't good enough, either, because I panic trying to remember if the person said left or right), unless I'm EXTREMELY familiar with the area, and have been to the place at least four times. I have this horrible fear that I'm going to get lost and not be able to find my way back. Combine that with a HORRIBLE sense of direction, and I'm just paranoid! I've been known to call Danny NUMEROUS times in a PANIC, trying to figure out where I am and where I need to go. Just about every single time, I'm right down the block from my destination, but I get so turned around and panicked, I don't even realize it. Danny drives everywhere we go because of this rediculous phobia of mine.
Being electrocuted - pretty funny when you consider I'm married to an electrician.
Lightning - I cry during rainstorms when there's lightening. I think this one's related to the fear of electrocution.
Falling off the edge of a cliff - now this one's based on fact. When I was a toddler, I was in a camper with my family and my aunt and uncle, and my grandpa (who was driving) fell asleep at the wheel (we think there was a carbon monoxide leak)...and consequently drove off the cliff we were driving next to. My aunt covered me with her body, and suffered a broken neck and back (she had to wear a brace for at least a year, if not two), and my sisters suffered pretty good injuries as well. I had deep cuts up and down my legs. The whole thing obviously affected me for life, as I cry and PANIC whenever driving up a steep hill or next to any sort of drop. If I'm the one driving, I have to pull over and switch drivers with someone.
I think that's about it.
