I have a few. My number one fear is losing my child. I don't know if I could ever take losing her through kidnapping or death. I am very paranoid of people around my child. I am afraid of bad people doing bad things to children. I have taught my daughter about safety and I am always vigilant.
I also am afraid of being trapped. I don't like when people block entrances or exits. I don't do elevators or escalators. So therefore, enclosed spaces are not a good place for me, especially if they are crowded. I don't mind crowds in general as long as I have an escape.
I have a small phobia of flying (the being trapped thing), and I hate ladders. Heights aren't a problem for me and I will climb a million stairs to see some awesome views, just don't ask me to get on a ladder and change a light bulb.

I don't LIKE to fly but not afraid of it. I don't like it mostly because I'm a complete control freak... I've surrendered all control to the person in this big huge container of jet fuel. It's enough to send ya over the edge... so I try not to think about it but to think about my destination.
ReplyDeleteI have nightmares all the time of something happening to my kids. I don't know if that's a fear or just ???? something else. I guess that could be a fear but it's not one specific thing... I have dreams where I"ll wake up sobbing because someone has taken my youngest and we're searching for him everywhere. It's GUT WRENCHING!
I completely agree with you on the whole being a control freak. I barely like to be the passenger in a car, let alone a 2 ton jet.
DeleteI have had a few of those nightmares. I hate them! I usually can't go back to sleep. I feel so badly for all of those parents that have missing children; their nightmare is never ending.
I am so with you on the child part, I fear all that as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't like that feeling. It's hard being a Mama.
DeleteI don't like to fly either. And, I do FEAR it. I fear knowing the plane is crashing while it is crashing. I take Ativan to fly. Makes me worry less. I always feared the unknown with my kids. Dying is one thing, but not knowing what happened to them is a great fear of mine too.
ReplyDeleteI probably should take something when I fly, I usually just white-knuckle it. I do have a small ritual I do by asking God to bless the plane as I am getting on. I also say extra prayers at takeoff and landing. When I am in the air, I am usually fine.
DeleteI hate the fear of the unknown!
Small planes are scary! I've flown in a Cessna before, what was I thinking?! Now I can't even get in a 30-seater!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would be able to get into one of those. My husband wants to learn to be a pilot and I told him that there is no way I could get into a teeny tiny plane even if was the pilot. I don't blame you for not being able to get into small aircraft. They are scary!
DeleteI totally forgot to add fear of heights to my list. I'm definitely with you on that one. I got on the roof one day and absolutely panicked. It was a 1 story, so I was maybe 8 feet away from the ground, lol.
