GTKY - What is your greatest fear

Jalee85 · November 2013

Let's start a GTKY one that is not an AW or BFing related post...lol

What is your greatest fear?

Jalee85 · November 2013

I'll give you guys a hint. It has 8 legs and the hairier the scarier, they sometimes are poisonous, and always manage to fall on me while I'm showering....OMG

A close 2nd would be clowns...lol

carawasa · November 2013

I'm pretty scared, yep SCARED of vomit. when my kid gets older and is sick, I'll probably run away. omg. I have the chills

babygiantquest · November 2013

Crossed eyes. I had a dream when I was eight years old where I was surrounded by every person I knew or would know in my life. They all crossed their eyes at once, and then everyone's eyeballs popped out of their head and fell on the floor. I can't look at a person crossing their eyes to this day without freaking out a little.

I'm also terrified of worms. Yeah, I know, I have some issues.

Clowns for sure. As a kid I was always afraid of the house catching fire. I would never wear night gowns or sleep in my underwear because of it.

What does wearing underwear or a nightgown have to do with the house catching on fire.....I'm curious

acethebase · November 2013

Hmmm another weird fear is walking out of my house one of these days and having some sort of rabid animal attack and maul me to death. I always psych myself out when it's dark out and end up running frantically to or from my car......
ETA: my fear really isn't that "out there" being that my DH ran in the house screaming like a little girl the other night because there was a skunk outside...... That'll teach DH to side eye me again

Alexplock · November 2013

I'm afraid of falling! I hate knowing that I'll end up hurt in someway. Maybe because I'm that ungraceful

pmarie33 · November 2013

Drowning. I really need to get dd into swim lessons.

Alexandrap · November 2013

My biggest fear would be the loss of one of my kids.

Also I fear that on one of our trips to DR the plane will fall essentially wiping out my entire family since we all travel together.

And walking over and driving over bridges all of a sudden.

Losing another baby. I barely survived the loss of DD last year, I'm not sure I would be able to withstand another devastating loss like that.

This...and hugs to you!

kcs7 · November 2013

Not my greatest (I won't even put my greatest into words!!) But I'm afraid of geese. Not wild geese, but the big domestic geese. And they know it. They seek me out in a group of people. My friend's geese would wait by my car doors and attack me when I showed up.

I'm also afraid of knives. Not guns though. Knives.

I'm afraid of slicing my hand by breaking a wine glass while I'm washing them.

I'm afraid of putting things into the oven and burning myself.

For some odd reason, being paralyzed. Also I petrified of roaches and butterflies.

I think this may be the first time I've heard someone pair cockroaches with butterflies...lol

ashleymarie512 · November 2013

Suffocating.

Losing my baby (other family members too, but mostly her)

Someone breaking into my house while I'm in it (a fellow PO/friend of mine was targeted and a hit was put out on her by one of her probationers and made that fear so much real--planning on getting concealed weapons permit)

acethebase · November 2013

Geesh, this thread is just freaking me out even more and fear basically everything now! Thanks guise, ill sleep real good tonight :-w

chelseyestelle · November 2013

I'm really scared of the dark. My mind plays tricks on me. I used to plan in my head what I would do if someone tried to break in/was hiding in my room. (Escape plan) I've been doing it since I can remember. I've also always slept with a nightlight. The nights when I was really scared I would sleep on my parents floor. (This continued until I was in high school)
Ugh. Now I'm freaked out thinking about everything that could happen to me in the dark.

tashad18 · November 2013

Mice...just seeing one makes me freak the heck out! Paralyzed with fear freak out.

Drowning...I absolutely LOVE the water, but I cannot stand to have my head under water. I panic because I don't know how to swim.

And, the obvious one is something happening to my kids.

StefMurph · November 2013

Dying/growing old alone (dementia or Alzheimer's or literally alone)

Mice

My husband, son or daughter dying.

5speckledfrogs · November 2013

that when my legs hang over the edge of the bed at night, some creepy hand will come out from under the bed and grab them and drag me down.

Gatorsgirl731 · November 2013

Other than something happening to my family.

Crickets and grasshoppers are panic attack inducers.

Ironically DD's nickname is Cricket. Lol

PixiesDust · November 2013

Fish. Yes, fish. I hate them. I fear any body of water that might potentially contain the possibility of any sort of sea creature, particularly fish, touching me in any way. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. *shudder*

jnsmith85 · November 2013

I have this irrational fear of something happening to my husband. I don't know how I would survive if he ever died.

And now I want to cry just thinking about it.

This is a huge fear of mine too. Especially, since DH's jobs can be dangerous at times....

CarolinaGirl411 · November 2013

Losing anyone close. I know that's part of life, but I don't deal with it well and I don't have much family left. I hate thinking about how H and I have been together 5 years and have not had to deal with a loss, I don't know how either of us would help the other cope because we are so different when it comes to feelings/sympathy.

Ditto

Emilyraymond · November 2013

My greatest fear is that something would happen to my husband or one of my kids. I really don't know what I would do.

And roaches.

sfshorter · November 2013

Death/cancer/something happening to my babies

MtnChickaD · November 2013

Mountain lions, brown bears, sharks and being in a car crash.

laurenmdrn16 · November 2013

Snakes. Nope nope nope!

Also the dark. I have a very elaborate ritual for getting around my house without ever being in a room without some form of light.

Spiders. Whenever I see one, I scat. Like "boo be doop a doo". Once I screamed "OBAMA!"

Mae208 · November 2013

My biggest fear is either DH or I dying in a car accident and leaving the other behind. He is just my best friend in the world and I can't imagine having to go on living my life without him.

Ycu2013 · November 2013

Losing my kids or having them get a serious illness.

Snakes. Bridges. Heights.

Dying and leaving my kids.

HFrizzle · November 2013

I hate heights!!! Hate hate hate it. I try not to freak out around my girls though. I don't want to project that on to them, so I put on my mommy smile & do it. We went to Disneyland one year and my oldest, about 7 at the time, wanted to go on tower of terror. My DH gets horribly motion sick, so mommy to the rescue. It was horrible, but I did it and she LOVED it.

jessjhh · November 2013

Driving behind a vehicle that is pulling something and I have to pass them or slow down.

And to something bad happening to DH or LO...

And crickets... Gross.

alylove11 · November 2013

Flying in planes
Tornados
Getting stuck in an elevator
Crossing bridges- ever since the bridge in MN fell apart, I always think the bridge I'm crossing is going snap on half

alylove11 · November 2013

Posted twice on accident!

Sarasmith84 · November 2013

Driving in the rain terrifies me.

Sdeux · November 2013

Greatest fear would be death of husband or LO. I hate watching the news and seeing car accident stories or other tragic accidents/diseases.
On a less depressing note I also fear getting a flat tire, specifically in the middle of nowhere.
Also not a fan of snakes and spiders.

skyla13 · November 2013

I'm a wuss so I have lots of irrational fears...heights is probably up there if I had to pick one. I get panicky watching it on tv even, like video of someone parachuting and looking out the plane...aaghhhh

Heather91011 · November 2013

My biggest fears are failing as a mother/wife/daughter and losing another baby/something happening to my precious baby girl.

Edited - changed some of the wording when I realized I had a couple fears but didn't change the "is" to "are" WHOOPS!

SweetCFly · November 2013

Death of myself/MH/baby. I cannot even handle it.

Yes!! I thought I was the only one. My family always makes fun of me because of how irrational it is!

They terrify me too. It doesn't even matter if it is a man eating great white or a three inch sun perch.

Me tooooo. Terrified of it. And spiders. And centipedes. ESPECIALLY the house centipedes. Ughhhhh! I'm all fucked up now lol

@23melissa28 that's so funny because I could have literally wrote this myself. I mean I fucking despise spiders but I have never seen a house centipede until we moved into our new house. I would take a spider any day. Those things (centipedes) ....are just NOT right. I have had dreams about them.....I can't.
