What scares you?

I just thought I hear a coyote howling (which I doubt, it was probably a dog) and got thinking about what scares me. Here are my top 3, please be specific if you can:


#1- Dh going out for a ride on the motorcycle
#2- a bear (one came up to my window and tried to get in)
#3- the kids choking

1. Something bad happening to Dh or the boys
2. Taking meds while I'm alone - I'm afraid I'll choke on them and no one will know and I'll just die
3. Driving/Riding in the rain - I had a very bad car accident when I was 17 and shouldn't of lived through it. It was all because the car hydroplaned.

1. Death (son and boyfriend especially)
2. Heights
3. Fire
4. Drowning
5. creepy crawly critters

My mom thinks I was a witch in the old salem days because of the phobias I have about heights (hanging), fire (being burned at the stake), and drowning (I guess they used to drown them too.) I thought it was kind of interesting when she sad that about these phobias I have. Of course my fear of heights I blame on my parents not having a bumper pad when I came home from the hospital. They found me hanging from the crib by my diaper. I lost a boyfriend 19 years ago and you never really get over it. It was actually my son's father who he never knew. I have a horrible fear of ever having to live through that again. I don't know if I would have the strength to survive something like that again.

In the witch hunt days, they would perform the water test on witches. They would put the "witch" in water. If they drown they were not a witch. If they did not go under, they were burned at the stake. I would not want to be thought of as a witch in those days.

My fears..........

1. bugs, especially spiders!
2. people wearing masks
3. heights, even on TV. , especially looking straight down
4. dying suddenly without being able to say goodby.
5. WW3

Not a real fear, but I startle VERY easily.
Don't come up behind me without letting me know. And sometimes that will even startle me!
Sudden loud (or not) noises.
I have embarrassed myself many times by "screaming" at these times.

Worms...

My oldest son just got his driver's license...so I'm scared to death that something might happen to him out on the road...I guess that has to be my biggest fear...something happening to one of my kids...

The sudden feeling of falling from way up high like on a ride...just to drop...

Im usually not scared of anything but spiders freak me out.. something about those long legged creepy things just freak me out!

I hate the idea of being trapped. That just totally unnerves me... right along with floods and natural disasters like Tornados or hurricanes...

Tornadoes. No other weather freaks me out but tornadoes scare me big time. Maybe its because I live in a trailer....

Dark water where you can't see/touch the bottom. Even in swimming pools. My high school had a diving pool that was 12 feet deep and it was dark. There were lights in it which just made it all the more scary to me.
