''and all of a sudden I'm attached to him like a barnacle on the Queen Mary's hull, panting and wide-eyed.'' - CCM Did you ever stop to think WHY he keeps saying those things to you.. especially at night in your own home.. lol. The man has it figured out..  |

My xwife  ;D  On a serious note...my xwife...lol Well, besides my xwife getting on my nerves...I hate snakes whether poisonous or none poisonous. Also of losing somebody close to me but I know they will be in a better place if they pass away....other than that....nothing else I can think of...with God at my side there is nothing to fear. Oh yeah, going to the bathroom and not having enough toilet paper |

hmmmm.... The only thing that really gets to me to the point of panic is being confined in a space where I'm not in control. Mostly just being a passenger in a car is the worst thing now. I'm getting better. Once I learned that fear couldn't hurt me my body took it a step further and it makes me physically ill. I guess my subconscious really wants me to be safe. I also have a phobia of talking about my worst fears. I never talk about them because some part of my brain figures the dark forces of the universe could use them against me by causing them to happen. If I don't talk about them then the gremlins have to guess. But I'm good with spiders, snakes, bugs (still hate ticks), clowns, darkness....all the usual stuff is not an issue with me. There's my little bit of paranoia!  Good job admitting that then, sweetie. (((((((CGU))))))) I'm not embarrassed by it. You'll just never hear me say "I'd hate to die this particular way or that way". Or say that any particular bad thing would be devastating to me. ;D |

The judgement seat of God. Having to account for all the wasted time, all that I could have done but didn't. That hits me at least once a day. Just being honest.

Claustrophobia
Use to crawl through cave tunnels so small had to push the pack in front of you. I'd have a hard time doing that now. It's the claustrophobic dreams that get me pacing the floor with an anxiety/panic attack. Don't even want to think about it.
Crowds
My profession required me to be in crowds. Never bothered me that much but now, in a crowd, I simply have to move to an open space . . . anywhere.
Fear of being useless. Always been a "can do, independent" kind of guy. Being helpless and dependent on someone else. . . well, that scares me. I saw it happen to my father. I want to die quickly . . . not right now but when the time comes, quickly before disability.

I want to die quickly . . . not right now but when the time comes, quickly before disability. Read more: survivalbunker.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=prepping&action=display&thread=4498&page=2#ixzz2NHDVjxEzThose hit the nail on the head. Crowds because I can't keep track of everyone and I used to have to. Now I have learned to make my area of control smaller then the room. Also the noise, just the buzz of the crowd bothers me. Useless because of my previous strokes. I have been lucky now four times, all have taken something away for ever, but so far not too much. I know one day one will take too much. I'm with Geron, just make it fast. My brother and I used to hang iron, even when I became an Engineer I would still hang iron on overtime. I actually liked it and he was just a spider monkey on iron. Structual steel not red iron, high stuff. Even though we both liked it we had seen people fall and we made a pact that if either of us fell and were disabled the other would pull the plug. My brother fell in 1980 and the two hours it took me to get to the hospital my biggest fear was I was going to have to pull his plug. But he was killed. Does that make me selfish I was worried about what I might have to do more than that he would be dead? I have always thought it did. |

Woody, that makes you the brother he expected you to be..willing to keep your promise to him while dreading the idea that you'd actually have to do it. It isn't selfish, it's nothing but your love for your brother.

I don't fear dieing, nor heights, nor any other classical fear. Failing to properly prepare and protect my son for both the world that I know is out there and the world I know is coming, scares me.
Seeing the helplessness in my mothers eyes each time I recovered from this or that incident and knowing that it can now be me scares me.
I've cheated death more times than any one man has a right to and still be breathing, but helplessy watching someone I love suffer would be my worst fear. Death would be preferable to me if it would save them from suffering.

I'm afraid of losing someone's trust. I consider someone's trust as among my greatest treasures. I'm deathly afraid of cremation; to the point that the very word gives me the shudders. I won't talk about why, but if you PM me I'll explain. I'm scared %^*less of losing my future wife. We went to the local Dick's this week, and when I went to get someone to help me buy ammo she wandered off from where she last was. I immediately checked a nearby section that she frequents; to no avail. I tried calling her name; no answer. She didn't have her phone, so calling her was moot. I finally checked another section (ice skates), and found her. After a "don't ever scare me like that again!" speech she got a very tight hug from me and I'll admit I was in tears. She can attest that I didn't let go for quite awhile. Falling from heights don't thrill me, so as long as I don't fall I'm fine. For my last one this is based on nightmares I've had in the past: becoming prey to an animal of some sort, particularly of the prehistoric type. |
