Biggest fear is that when I leave for work, something may happen to me or my family and it'll be the last time I see/hold them.

Drinking out of a fountain and having someone bump me and knocking some teeth out. I think about it even if nobody is around.

Horses. I am petrified of horses. No real reason to be, never bitten by one, or thrown off of one. Just have been afraid of them since I was a kid.

On a serious note, I have an irrational fear of getting my Achilles tendon smashed. I'm a nervous wreck in a crowded grocery store because I just know some a-hole is going to run me the frick over and I'll never walk again.

You an I agreeing and/or having the same viewpoint of things is starting to scare me just a little.

I get this fear anytime I'm sick, or, have a nagging injury for anytime more than a couple of days. It's that I'll never get better and have to live with this feeling for the rest of my days.

Don't really have this fear, but I sprained my ankle pretty bad 2.5 weeks ago.

Let's say I was at about 20% right after the incident (0% being that I broke my ankle and needed surgery or something like that)

- 25-30% after day 1
- 35-40% after day 2
- 45-50% after day 3
- ~60% after day 4
- ~80% after the first week post accident and just hovering around there since.

So from 20% to 80% in a week and from 80% to 85% in the following week and a half.

Just feels like I can't remember the last time I could move my right ankle in every direction without any pain.

1st sip of coffee from a travel mug / lid


I put a travel mug in my car with it half full...went in to a 30 minute meeting...came out and got ready to take a sip and a freaking spider climbed out the spout as I was picking it up. I kind of freak out a little before drinking from a travel mug.

To be fair, things like cancer and debilitating mental diseases aren't irrational fears. That's perfectly understandable.

I'd say my 2nd irrational fear is my daughter becoming possessed by some demon or something.

I watch too many movies.

I get really bad bed head so if I showered the night before (usually shower in the morning) I'll just kneel down and put my head under the faucet in the tub and wet my hair before going about my day.


I am fricking terrified of my SO stepping on the back my ankle and breaking it/tearing my Achilles. I basically have to lock the door to the bathroom if she's home and I need to wet my hair in the tub.

That is what I'm terrified of. What if you're never back to 100%? What if for the rest of your life, your ankle hurts when you move it in a certain direction?

Snakes following me to every home I've lived in. Relocated from the storm and already had one IN the house I'm in. I lived on a 2nd story unit a few years back and woke up to a 1 1/2 foot water moccasin at the side of my bed. How they manage to find me I'll never know but all my life they've horrified me. Mostly terrified for my animals tho BC the snakes are always by them are right under my feet.
