GTKY- Your irrational fears

I'm bored, DH is watching football..... so here's something to keep me occupied.

Biggest one I can think of right now, brought on by another post I made, is my fear of thunder and lightning when I have to go outside. Unless it's REALLY loud I generally don't mind it when I am inside. I know it may seem rational to have a fear of it when outside, since you shouldn't be outside during a lightning storm... but I am talking "I can't walk to my car" fear.

When I was entering my 3rd tri with LO, I was walking into work during a thunderstorm. Didn't seem particularly close but it was raining out. I was right near the building when all of a sudden lightning stuck the building, making the power go out temporarily) and thunder must have grounded at the same location (or close to it) the force of the thunder knocked me clear off my feet. Then, a woman almost hit me with her car because I was in the middle of the road and couldn't get up. A bunch of my coworkers came and helped lift me up and I remember screaming crying when another thunder clap came close by. I ended up going to the hospital (a whole mile away) in an ambulance with excrutiating pain in my (large) baby bump. Baby ended up being fine but it was so scary. Even though I know the chance of something similar happening is next to none... I still sit in my car and wait for a storm overhead to pass.


 Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Can't decide if we're one and done or we want two! Seeing what happens... not actively TTC now, just keeping track of cycles.

I have an irrational fear of deer. Screw deer. Im from a small mountain town, where they are everywhere so I should be fine with them. No. Moose are fine, elk are fine, but deer freak me out.

My biggest irrational fear is that there are attackers out to get me.  Mostly this creeps me out if I'm walking to my car alone in a dark parking lot.  I think there's someone hiding under the car that's going to grab my ankles.  Also, if my husband isn't home I walk by windows really quickly in case there is a sniper out there waiting to shoot me through them. I know its completely irrational, and I don't know why I'm not afraid of the imaginary sniper when DH is home, but it is what it is....  I wonder if my neighbors ever see my shenanigans and think I'm psycho...

Mine is kind of like that except I think the sniper is going to be someone I know. Anytime I don't get along with someone and shut them out from my life (like estranged family members or whackjob co-workers) I always think they are going to get revenge on me and kill me.

I just don't trust anyone that I don't get along with. I've watched too many murder mysteries where the young girl gets stalked to her car...

I have a very very irrational fear of frogs/toads. I garden a lot so it's not very convenient. I make this really weird hyena cry/laugh when I come into contact with one. The cry is usually followed by me sprinting into the house and saying "fluck that, I'm done gardening for the day".

I kind of have the same thing with fish. Tongue Tied

Ditto on being afraid of the dark.

As for the lady bugs, a few months ago, I felt something pinch my boob, and when I checked my bra, there was a lady bug in there. Luckily, I was at home, I can only imagine the side eyes I would have gotten otherwise.

Dark. I've always have been afraid of it, always will be. I've slept with with either a nightlight or TV on for my entire life. I go into a panic if I'm in total darkness. My mind goes into overdrive imagining all kinds of horrors if I can't see what is around me.

I am afraid I am going to hit someone with my car. If I see someone walking along the road I get really nervous. I also am afraid I am going to be late to the bus stop and someone is going to snag DD even if I am on time there are days I wait for the bus and convinced I missed it and she is gone. This is usually right around AF time other times I am not such a freak about it.

I have a lot of irrational fears, some are more ridiculous that other....

I think the most irrational of the bunch is that I am absolutely terrified of Whales (sperm whale especially). When I was about 13, I was watching animal planet or discovery or something about Giant Squids and they had this CGI part with a sperm whale under water, and ever since then I am scared to death of them. I think its because I am also afraid of large bodies of water, so seeing the highly realistic underwater CGI triggered panic and that developed into a fear of the whale that was associated with it. Apparently I have always been some what afraid of water and it has just gotten worse and spawned new fears. I freak out if I even accidentally scroll too far over on google earth and its over the ocean.
Funny Story, a few years ago, I was on the Pinnochio ride at Disneyland with my 2 year old niece and had a panic attack when I realized what was coming next. I also cried the first time I rode The new(ish) Nemo ride. I have always been terrified of that ride, even back when I was little and It was submarine voyage.

I'm afraid of the dark too.  I'm afraid of a 'ghost' DH thinks he saw in our room in the middle of the night - twice.  I'm afraid of a giant tree in our backyard falling on our house when it's storming.  I also find that I hear things when I go back to sleep after temping early in the morning. I always think I hear someone breaking into our house. 

Yes, I think I'm a little crazy.  Smile

I can't fall asleep if I'm not covered from my feet to my armpits in blankets.  I feel like something will grab me and drag me off the bed if I'm not covered up properly.

You would not like living in my house. I have a ladybug infestation. I can suck them all up and have none for a while, but every fall more come back in large amounts. Currently there are 7 in my living room with me. So it's time to get the vacuum.

 My irrational fear is snakes. They really freak me out real or just talking about them. I walk around the snake display at Petco and like stores.

Violent storms.  When I was 3, a small tornado came through my neighborhood, took some roofs off of houses down the street.  I get really freaked out during violent storms, can't sleep through night time lightning & thunder.  And tornado warnings are the worst - easy panic attack.

 I also have an irrational fear of spiders and of drowning.

My biggest irrational fears are probabl. Thunderstorms and being in the dark.
Everything a storm comes I am attached to the weather to watch for tornados.

I always have a light on at night, usually a night lite in our living room and bedroom, I get really nervous when its totally dark.

Blood. Even movie fake blood. When I see someone get stabbed in a movie and they are bleeding all over, that part of my body instantly starts to hurt and I start feeling sick to my stomach.  

If I see actual blood like someone accidently cuts their hand open, I hyperventilate and freak out. 

 Don't even get me started on blood drives, I will walk a mile out of my way just to avoid it.

I am terrified of horses. I fully believe that any horse is about half a second away from biting, kicking or running over me. Actually, the truth is that I'm pretty scared of most farm animals cows, chickens and what not. It's pretty silly because I grew up with horses and chickens at my house.

The dark... Even if there is a light on nearby I will launch myself onto the bed so whatever is under it can't get me. Then I have to be entirely covered so "it" can't grab my hand or foot or something.

And sometimes when I leave early for work and its still dim outside, I won't open the garage door until I'm in my car. Just in case the zombie apocalypse has started.

This except killer whales are my main trigger. I avoid the sea at all costs because of this. I have been getting better these last few years but am a long way off being ready to go in a boat or in the water.

I am afraid either the earth or moon will be knocked out of orbit. I had a teacher in college that said this will most likely happen in like 100,000 years, but I'm still scared it will happen in my lifetime. Also, I'm afraid the sun will turn into a supernova and explode.
