Fears?

I have never been able to understand why people would discuss their deepest darkest fears on a public forum, so I'll go with the less deep and less dark fears.

I think it's good to express your fears about something, it kind of helps you cope with them.

Deepest, darkest fears?

Really thinking about it...

Two things.. death, and permanent solitude, and the two kind of go together.

Well, I have heard stories of beheadings, where the brain was alive up to 30 minutes after they chopped the head off.

Therefore, I get to watch my body slumped over, and spent up to thirty minutes with head lopped off to the side, thinking about how much this sucks? And when my brain does suffocate, will it hurt? Will it be screaming, shattering pain, or will I just fade away?

Being gassed to death, burned alive.... Yeah, that's a pretty dark place for me.

Permanent solitude is another...

I used to not like watching movies like Cast Away.

The reason being, I would imagine myself in Tom Hanks' place, not being able to talk to anyone, not being able to carry a conversation, knowing that if you get sick or injured, there is really nothing you could do to heal yourself. Then, you would die slow, say, if you broke your back accidentally, and the crabs and ants would get you, if you didn't starve or thirst to death first.

I would probably go nuts in about six months. :D
 
Cockroaches.

Falling. (I don't have a fear of heights, but anything that may involve a sudden drop fucks with me)

Losing the people I love.

That's pretty much it.
 
Spiders, being caught in lightning storm, heights, well falling from them, going deaf, getting alzheimers... that's about all I can think of right now
 
I used to be deathly afraid of backhoes because they had teeth when I was a child but thankfully I am over that now.

We also used to live in the house where my grandpa died, I used to think that his ghost would come around so I was scared of seeing him.

Current fears include:

Losing loved ones

Ugly bugs

Creepy, slimy animals

Scary people

Storms

Driving in the ice and snow

That about sums it up I think.
 
I think it's good to express your fears about something, it kind of helps you cope with them.

I'm not disagreeing. it's the expressing them on a public forum that escapes me. You have no idea what freak is reading this thread, and now knows your deepest, darkest fear. I've expressed my deepest darkest fears on private forums. I just won't do it when I don't know who's watching.

That's the beauty of it though...you all know my deepest fears now, what can you do about it? Not a damn thing.

Somehow, that is a bit empowering. :eek:
 
Allright, let's see who'll come clean on this. Discuss your fears/prior fears.

Fear:
Striking lighting bolts. Death. Being alone.

Things that cause me to start panicking:
Going first. Going last. Going somewhere new alone. Large number of new people.

That's all I can think of for right now.
 
Being charged and convicted (and subsequently sent to prison) for doing something very serious which I not only didn't do, but had nothing to do with...have no idea where it came from or why, but it has been a fear of mine as long as I remember.:confused:

Catalina:catroar:

...i use to have an unfounded fear of going to jail too and have no idea why. i think i must have been traumatized by TV as a child after watching some kind of jail thingy because i have no reason to feel afraid of going to jail. but granted that was a long time ago (a couple of lifetimes ago) and i have bigger fish to fry :rolleyes:

im terrified of needles, injections, and any medical procedure that involves sharp pointy objects.

ive had more panic attacks at doctors offices than i care to remember.:eek:

i can sympathize with you on this one. i'm not necessarily terrified of needles because i know they are a necessary evil but i FUCKING HATE NEEDLES AND MEDICAL PROCEDURES ...phew! i have had 3 c-sections and thoradic surgery and recent blood pressure issues have sent me to the emergency room several times and without fail as soon as they head towards me to put the shunt in i burst into tears. it's automatic, i don't even have time to think about it. i go from OK and chilling to tears, chills, shaking in a split second when i know it's coming.

I have a lot of fears... or rather, anxieties. I am quite experienced with the panic attacks :rolleyes:

The more interesting fears:
  • Clowns. Ugh, I even hate seeing/hearing the word.
  • That everything I believe is wrong and I actually am just insane.
  • The brakes not working on the car and finding myself very slowly rolling into another car and being unable to stop it.
  • Sharks in weird places -- like swimming pools.
  • That I will get pregnant on accident and be too in love with the father to terminate the pregnancy. Attempting to carry a child to term would almost definitely kill me (medical issues).
 
Theres lots of things that fears me...


~ I am scared of dark water. Deep dark water just scares the shit outta me! Especialy one river in my town. I hate to go near it and I am going insane when my lil girl walks near it. Guess its cuz I saw myself drown in that water like million times in my dreams, dunno. I just hate that river! And any water where I cannot see the bottom.

~ I am scared of giving birth. Been scared of it since I was lil. Dunno why, but I always had the weird feeling about labors. Always felt I am gonna die while it lol. God knows why! :confused:

~ I am afraid to trust people. In a way I am closed and I am not opening just to 'anyone' anymore. Theres just few people I've let come in and still sometimes I feel even those few was too much.

~ But the biges fear of mine is losing people I love. Losing family members, losing friends and people I care about. For any reason. I hate that. And the reason why it fears me is cuz I care too much, love too deep and letting go and forgeting way too hard. Losing my mom and my kids is the worst thing I can imagine happening to me. Especialy my kids. The only thing I would be scared of then, is myself.



But most of the time I am just scared to face this world all alone. I feel vulnerable and way too easy to get hurt, for various reasons. Imagine I might feel like this forever freaks me out. I cannot do on my own, I need my protector.

Glad I found him!! :kiss:
 
Dark water... and I can't stand on a dock or a pier next to a ship... the fear of falling between is overwhelming... thankfully, I dont have to deal with that very often...

Big insects don't do much for me, either...
 
Since I was little I have had this reoccuring dream of seeing a woman being murdered in a parking garage. I am on the stairs and I can here screaming in the next landing above me. I try to runaway but I can't then all the sudden all this blood is dripping on me because it is those stairs with the little holes in them. I look up and I can see her eyes starring at me through the holes. Then I hear the footsteps of the guy who killed her and I start to run...then I wake up.

As a result I will not go near a parking garage...I don't care where it is! And I hate those stairs with the little holes in them....
 
I just read a book that postulates that fear is the root of all evil. While doing this, the novel creates (at least for me) a climate of fear. Hmm.

My worst fear is the death or destruction of my children before me.
 
Trusting people. That is a big fear of mine. It takes heaven and earth for me to fully trust someone. There are moments I don't even trust my best friend.

And being able to pay my bills - that is a big fear for me at the moment.
 
Falling (the actual sensation - it's easier for me to fly than to get on a chair to change a light bulb, because my chances of falling and experiencing that sensation are so much greater. Most fair rides are a no-go).

Being alone in the dark (don't ask).

Spiders (but only certain species. I'm very particular about my phobias.)

Failure.

Having kids.
 
It's not really a fear, because I have no problem with receiving them, but I can't look at needles. It makes me feel sick in the guts and start to black out.
