Hey Everyone. Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. Lots of wedding planning going on. Anyways, great topic. I would love to join in.
-fear of death
-fear something will happen to me and no one will be able to take care of my son
-fainting <--- big one these days
-fear of dying from an undiagnosed illness
-fear of an allergic reaction
-fear of severe weather
-fear of being like this forever
I am also scared of clowns. lol.
What a good idea!
let's see, mine are:
-wind (This is my most recent and worst trigger at the moment. We had a rough winter with a lot of windstorms that caused terrible damage throughout BC and I am afraid that the tree in our yard will fall on the house and even a light breeze causes me to panic and escape the house until the wind calms down)
-fear of doing something to hurt myself during a panic attack. During my last attack I started to think to myself that if I was dead I wouldn't have to feel like this anymore. I know that I would never do anything to hurt myself like that but I lose all rationality during an attack.
-fear of having a panic attack.
-slight fear of being alone. I feel a bit better about the wind when my husband is home. If he is at work and I start to panic we go to my mom's house.
-fear of driving in heavy rain. I guess I am just afraid of hydroplaning and getting hurt or killed. I've never been in a car accident although I visualize about them all the time when I am driving. I've seen some horrific pictures of accidents as I used to work for a litigation lawyer who dealt with car accident victims.
-fear of something happening to my children. My older daughter's are 3 and I still check on them at night to make sure they are breathing. My son is 4 months and I have woken him up before to make sure he is still alive.
-I quite often panic when I am a passenger in a vehicle because I don't feel like I have any control over situations.
-fear of not being in control.
wow, this is long. Sorry!!
I can relate to a lot of these! lol!
Mine are:
* fear of being sick/vomiting
* fear of taking medications in case they cause an allergic reactin or some other reaction
* fear of being alone doing the above
* fear of being around other people doing the above as well! *sigh*
* fear of suffocating (not helped by asthmatic symptoms and recent chest infection)
* panics out of the blue that cause a claustrophobic feeling and liek i've 'got to get out' especially at night - the walls are clsing in, etc.
I absolutely HATE the last one!
i find it helps when i am around caring but stable and happy people. I am therefore trying to get out more in the evenings and surrounding myself with people who help me stay in a calmer state
Having sex
Exercise
Dying
People i love dying
People i love being hurt
Being hurt (pain in general)
Taking the bus
Fear of failure
Fear of getting depressed again
My bodily sensations often freak me out (related to fear of disease and dying, and probably fear of exercise and sex))
Fear of disease
Fear of not being in control
Fear of flying
Fear of driving (i don't even have a drivers license!)
Fear of allergic reaction to new medication
Fear of panicking
Ok i think that is my list if i figure out new ones i will be back lol

Oh yeah, whenever I'm taking a med (I really freaked over taking drugs) anyhow I'll let my husband know, "in case anyhting happens, I just took 2 motrin and 1 zyban". lol I really get this mainly if it is something I've never taken before.
I've also had the poison thing too.
Tracie,
This is a great way for members to see they are not alone in their fears.
Thanks for starting it!

cancer
brain tumour
stomach ulcers

heart disease

fear of dying
fear of panicking
fear the panic will not stop and I will loose control
nobody likes me
i am not a good mother
should I go on?
I guess that shows why I am anxious most of the time!!!
I was thinking today and wondering how many people have the same fears and how silly some of my own fears have been. So I started this thread to vent, laugh, and possibly reasure others who are fearful of the same things.
These have been my top 5:
Running out of money for the month
Worried the panic will never end
Losing control and going crazy
Worried about hurting myself or my kids
I've had numerous diseases/conditions: MS, Cancer(throat,stomach,legs,brain), Schizophrenia, ALS (my muscles twitched)
