What are your irrational fears?

[RetrieverLove]

I have a bunch. I guess my biggest one is being away from home. It's stupid and it makes me sound like I'm 13 but the thought is terrifying.

I'm going on a Vacation with a friend next week and all I can think about are the "What ifs...". What if I get sick while I'm there and need to go to the hospital, what if our ride home from the airport doesn't show up. That sort of stuff. I know it's silly, but I can't get out of my mind!

heights and needles. they scare me so much i pass out.

Waking up one morning and realising this life has all just been a dream.....and that nothing in this "dream" is real.

Yeah yeah it is COMPLETELY irrational and illogical......But it crosses my mind alot and it terrifies me O.O

I have to run to all my pets and give them hugs and kisses and play with them when I think about that :-/

I'm ridiculously terrified of bugs. Except ladybugs, they don't bother me for some reason.

1. Spiders, roaches - I won't go near them if I can help it.

2. I get very afraid when I have a dream about Tony cheating on me or leaving me or him getting sick. I guess I'm too dependant on him...or just love him so much I don't know what I'd do without him...it scares me to death. I wake up crying or with this funny feeling in my chest, stomach and head.

Well I have learned in the passed that having "show animals" can stress you out to no end lol

Even since I was showing my horses - they needed to be SUPER cared for during show season.. this means practically wrapping them in bubble wrap until the show lmao! Well, not really but you become paranoid on how you ride them, how their training schedule does. Any ripple in this puts you and your horse back LOTS during the show season lol

Same goes with dogs..

my gawd.. Poor Riot lol I try and relax and let him figure stuff out for himself, but its SOO hard to not "mother" him lmao
An example would be the other day when we went swimming with my bf at the conservation area. lol

Riot decided that the snake swimming along was a motorized stick and jumped into the lake and tried grabbing it lol

I was SOO terrified that the snake would bite him.. not thinking that hes got SOO much darn fur that IF the snake did manage to get at him, I doubt it would be able to break to skin, and second of all - we have no poisonous snakes around here! lol

More irrational fears -
biggest one would be drowning.
Even with my extensive swimming background, I find my self terrified of sunken logs in lakes. I can't bring myself to swim over them often lol If there is an alternative route, I take it. Call me VERy odd.. but I just have some sort of fear where they will shoot up from the water lol No CLUE where I get this idea from lol

Because of the drowning fear - I can never bring myself to watch ANY parts of movies where there is a drowning involved, or heavy rain with a steam etc etc. Like that moving The Storm. Although it looks great, I can't bring myself to watch it. Titanic I have a hard time watching as well as, there is a spot in Black Beauty where its pouring rain and Black Beauty wont go over the bridge.. I can't watch that part lol

monkeys.. something about them just creeps me out.

needles i literally get sick when i see or talk about them.
and last of all toilet seat life jackets

when i was at church camp one year it was the first year i was old enough to go on the float trip down the river. my friends and i got in a boat together and put on one of those toilet seat flotation things. anyway us being pretty young still we had to tighten them. it had been raining so it was really flooded there and we got seperated from the group, no one thought much of it because of where we got seperated we should pop out at a place near where they would stop to swim. we decided to jump out and swim back a ways, one of my friends jumped in and her extra cord 'used to tighten' got stuck underwater. me and one of my other friends jumped in after her and got her loose, but we had to take off her life jacket. so she was holding on to us and we couldn't stay up with her weight too. i swim all the time, and don't think to much of it, but those life jackets around water freak me out so much

public transport
insects that bite,sting or feed off you
the sea

 

[Kase]

I'm so scared of spider's, it really is stupid though. I don't really mind any other insect's being in the same room as me other than spider's. I don't like them at all, I won't kill them though.

Oh and I am terrified of getting a tick on me, I get so paranoid about it.

My main fear's though are losing Casey and going to jail. The thought of been stuck in a little cell and not being allowed to be free and go walking in the wood's terrifies me.

 

[Ashlea]

Cats - beastly little minions of the devil! They creep me beyond anything!

 

[MyIrishWolfie]

That a snake will be sitting on the toilet seat and I will get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night and I will sit on it.

That I will get ran over by a semi truck while driving.

That I will run over someone while driving.

 

[dogsbestfriend]

heights, drowning, horses (I don't know why, they just terrify me), creepy, perverted men, rattlesnakes and those big black grasshoppers with the wings that are red underneath (I am convinced that they are satan in disguise, lol)

I'm ridiculously terrified of bugs. Except ladybugs, they don't bother me for some reason.

Me too. Makes me feel awkward since I'm a guy but I just hate bugs.

 

[Brattina88]

elevators... I seriously hyperventilate. I take the stairs, no matter how much I have to carry. I was forced to go in one at school with my teacher and several classmates (I nearly got a detention for not going) and I nearly freaked. On the ride back down my teacher pressed the wrong floor button so she pressed the red stop button to stop the call... yea... the thing slammed to a stop and alarms started going off. I freaked, my friend grabbed me and kept telling me everything was okay... but I guess I didn't beleive her because I remember them waking me up saying "This is our floor"
it was a long time ago, but I remember it detailed and will never forget. My irrational fear is now worse and has a good reason, right?

Also afraid of being abandoned/losing someone close to me

 

[pup-man]

I have re-occuring nightmares that one day I will wake up and Chazhound.com never existed

 

[Renee750il]

Heights . . . I just freeze. My feet get dizzy.

And deep water. My imagination is just too, too vivid. My swimming teacher when I was a kid wanted me to train for racing. She couldn't believe how fast I got across that Olympic size pool, lol! I never had the heart to tell her that the reason I was so fast was because I was absolutely terrified. It didn't help that the final exam included (unknown to me) her jumping in the pool and pulling me down and holding me under to see if I would panic. She said I was the only person (and I was only 8 at the time) she had ever done that too who had ever turned it around and tried to drown her instead I think that's when I realized that I don't panic - I get angry.

I passed
