Eight Fears

This week's 10 Day You Challenge is about 8 fears.  So here are mine.

{one}  Spiders.  They are my number one biggest fear.  Big, small, black, brown... it doesn't matter.  I am *terrified* of all of them.  I'll go into a full blown panic attack just seeing one.  I seriously almost had one just trying to get the picture for this post.  

{two}  Bridges over water.  Bridges freak me out enough on their own, but a bridge over water?  Forget about it.  I'll fall apart.  I do my very best to avoid driving over them, but when I have to, I have a death grip on the steering wheel and I'm cringing the entire time.  

{three}  Something happening to a member of my family or one of my friends.  

{four}  The dark.  Yes, I'm an adult still scared of the dark :P.  My husband works the night shift so I'm always alone with the boys at night.  Every little creak or rustle sends about a million little paranoid scenarios through my mind.  

{five}  Terminal illness.  I am soo afraid that I will end up with cancer or some other terminal illness.  Something without a cure or a very small survival rate.  Also, I'm just afraid of dying in general.

{six}  Heights.  See that pic?  Yeah... that would NOT be happening for me.  

{seven}  Not sure if this is a fear or not but I don't like being in crowds of people.  It could be in a small space or it could be in a mall.  I have to have my space.  When people start crowding in on me, I start to get really anxious and feel like I'm going to have a panic attack.

{eight}  I have this fear that I will be out somewhere alone, or with my family, and I/we will get shot at, robbed, or something like that.  

Whew, glad that's over.  I'm sure I could keep going but the post only calls for 8, haha.  Hopefully you all don't think I'm a paranoid freak now ;).
