Yeah, I was having trouble with the 'Top Five Parties' theme. They all sort of blend together for me This is much easier.
5. Hobo Spiders
So I've never had a general fear of spiders, and then all of a sudden I move out here. At work the other day, my boss was talking about how he found one in the shower. He said they attack. They actually freaking chase you!!!
And just my luck, if you look them up on wiki, you'll see they ONLY live in the Northwest. They like to surprise you in the tub. And their bites? Their bites cause YOUR FLESH TO BE EATEN AWAY! I've seen it with my own two eyes in person. Now tell me this isn't a rational fear of spiders.
Needless to say, I've been sleeping with my Lucy Cat every night. She'll protect me.
4. Another miscarriage.
I don't want to go into detail. But the next time I get pregnant, that's all I'm going to be thinking about. I'm going to make awesome babies. I want the chance.
3. Driving
I've been driving by myself a lot more lately, but there are still some situations that curl my toes: The grooves on highway I-90, crowded freeways, left turns on crowded streets, panicking while driving. So I still need to count driving as a fear.
2. Cancer.
I think it's pretty obvious why. But a story behind it is that when I was little, I used to diagnose myself with cancer like every other day. I watched news specials and movies, and before you knew it, I had Leukemia. That still scares the bejeebus out of me. If I find a lump or a strange mole, I freak out.
1. Panic Attacks.
I had them. They got so bad that I got depressed and spent three days in the crazy ward. I haven't had one in a while, but they are the scariest thing anyone can ever experience. You feel like you're going to die and you don't know why. Everything blurs around you. You start shaking. Your heart is pounding. Everyone becomes and enemy and no one can help you.
So I fear a relapse into my old ways. The ways in which I couldn't drive at all, I was afraid to be in large crowds, I was afraid to be alone for too long, and I didn't want to keep living. I don't want to have to deal with that again.
