I have a few fears:

Heights (although I did a ropes course once that helped)

Open Water (although I just went jet skiing on the Gulf of Mexico last week and was surprised by my not being wicked freaked out)

Bugs - All kinds. There is nothing in the world that I fear more than bugs. It's a crazy and irrational fear too. Just thinking about it...sometimes I get freaked out. Like say I found a spider in my bed. I'd have to have someone kill it. Then I'd have to wash my sheets (with help taking them off because I'm afraid they'll be more) and for the rest of the night I might not be able to go near my bed...even for days. It's bad. Once in my old apartment a cockroach ran across our bed. My Ex got it. The exterminator came and said there was no nesting. We bought industrial stength spray and we tore the bed apart and the whole bedroom. I still couldnt sleep in there for months. I had to buy ear plugs when I did so that I could sleep. For some bizarre reason I think covering my ears helps w/ this. Partly because I dont hear anything that I could potentially assume is a bug ready to come and crawl all over me. I also hate when people say they cant hurt me. No duh. I just hate them and want no part in being anywhere near them.

I'm completely nuts. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
