Do you have an Irrational fear?......?

Flying. I have spent thousands on therapy with little effect. I still have to do it though. Urgh.

Snakes for me I just can’t watch when they are squirming errrrrr!!! Horrible.

Spiders........shudder....

No irrational fears ( some rational ones though, to make up for the loss?)

Rodents of any kind have me turned to stone, can’t even run away from them.

Driving, I have tried and tried, but I can’t overcome the fear and dread. It is unfair on DH, but I can’t control it.

Slugs and snails. I loathe them. I once tore ligaments in my ankle trying to avoid getting near a slug when dog walking.

Big things in water. I could never swim alongside a boat or big ship. Couldn't swim up to the legs of a pier, couldn't dive in deep water down to a wreck.

Same as oopsadaisy, Terrified!

Rats and mice, can’t even watch them on tv or even look at pictures. Mickey and Minnie are okay though.
I do love to fly Gagajo but Orlin developed a fear of flying in his forties, he will not get on a plane anymore. You’re very brave to continue to fly with that fear.

Sp*ders, although I think that’s rational, given that they’re the devil’s horsemen.

I don’t like woods/forests, I’m always convinced there’ll either be a mad axe murderer in there or that I’ll find a body. I like trees, though!

The sea. I am terrified at the thought of being in a ship with all that water beneath me. A friend and I want to go to Ireland when we can but he wants to go by sea but I will have to fly!

Maggots..don’t even like typing the word!

Dragonflies. I know they are beautiful but I hate the way they stalk me while I am out walking and clash wings with their friends above my head.

Jaxjacky that's my horror too.

Walking on wooden piers and seeing the water below does it for me

Thank you LauraNorder. I'd like to say it gets easier, but it doesn't. On one flight, since the onset of covid, I was hyperventilating so much, the very kind steward told me I could take my mask off. I didn't, because I am also scared of covid, but...

Spiral staircases where you can see through to the floor below.

Cockroaches.......what’s their purpose.

Stairs that you can see between the treads and below.

Boats, couldn’t watch Titanic.

Getting on a train, I fear I might go down the gap. Far too fat and it'll never happen, but I can't approach the door to get on which is limiting!

Oh I can't stand spiders or any otehr creepy crawly. No idea why. I once jumped on a chair just like the films when I saw a mouse run across the room.

Black holes as I see them, cellars, attics and caves, I won't even go out to the bin when it's dark, I'm petrified.
I think it stems from a peeping tom when I was a teenager. Two eyes peering at me through the glass window slats in the bathroom when I lived in Malaysia.

Those long green flowing weeds in rivers. I always imagine if you went in they’d wrap around your legs and drag you down!

I'm terrified of heights but I love bridges. Never been able to work that one out ?
