irrational fears

My irrational fear is that someone will grab me, throw me in a car trunk and murder me.

Getting stuck in traffic under an overpass
I am sure it is going to collapse on me at any second.
PTSD from living 30 years in CA

Me too! I'm extremely nervous about being trapped under an overpass, or in the shower, or on the toilet during an earthquake. I have flashes of seeing myself being buried alive by debris, and that is how I'll eventually meet my demise.

There's a window in the bathroom. After dark, whenever I am in the bathroom, I always look at the window, because I'm CONVINCED I will see a face peering in. It scares me to death.

I am terrified of windows when it is dark. We have blinds on all of our windows and they MUST be closed before it is dark. Especially bad if I am home alone.
 
I feel like all I have are irrational fears!
Bridges - I remember being scared of bridges when it was dark when I was younger, but in the last 6 years it's developed into me being terrified of bridges during the day too. My BF playing the game of holding your breath hasn't helped so much either, especially when we were on a road trip and went across that huge bridge near Astoria, Oregon. TERRIFYING. I stayed with my head down and my eyes closed the whole way across.
Spiders - I've always been frightened. My grandparents live out in the country and these massive spiders live out there, we called them "barnyard spiders" they're just way too big. Then my loving cousins would catch them in those huge pickle jars and chase me around.
The dark - I'm pretty okay with being at home, but we're up in Alaska so when I go back to the lower 48 and it gets pitch black by like 9, it weirds me out! I'm with everyone else and looking in windows, ugh so creepy!
Driving - Not in the sense that I'm scared of driving, it's other drivers that scare me. People who speed when it isn't necessary(not that it ever really is,) people zipping in and out of lanes. Ugh, I feel like I'm always having to make sure someone isn't going to run into me in someway because they're too stupid to pay attention to what they're doing.
Botulism - I'm not sure how I even think this is possible. Jars/can worry me!
Most bugs - When BF and I started going out, he lived in this apartment and had just a mattress on the floor. Let's just say there were these gross yucky crawling bugs that would find their way onto things, usually clothes. Ugh, I feel gross thinking about it! They just wiggle and are so gross!

I have other odd fears like becoming addicted to cigarettes(I don't smoke and avoid it,) becoming pregnant, uh yea I'm not sure that anyone in my family was "planned" so I feel like it's just going to happen to me! I'm also worried about becoming extremely religious, I don't think it's a bad thing, but BF is not that kind of person and I just don't know what the future would hold if that were to happen. I guess my cousin just kind of became that way within the last couple of months, so now I feel like it's very possible.
Haha, I have to stop thinking about all of these scary things!

I don't usually have thoughts like this, but the other day I was thinking about going to return some books to the library, and it was already dark outside. They have a drop-off slot for when the library is closed - well for some reason, I had this little scene play out in my head of myself getting kidnapped as I get out of my car to drop the books off .. needless to say, I waited until the next day, when it was daytime and the library was open.

WHY does it say "Trade Person"?
 
I do have a completely irrational fear. People under the stairs. I hate going down stairs that have open risers. I'm terrified that someone will grab me through them. Also, my mom's basement is an IT haven. She says Gollum lives there and I say It lives there. Neither one of us will go down to her basement.
 
Most of my fears (or anxiety really) revolve around not being able to go to the bathroom so I panic if I get stuck in traffic and I have to locate the bathroom as soon as I get to a location. I hate when I go to a gathering at someone's house and they only have one bathroom because I'm CERTAIN I'll have to go when someone is in there. I know it sounds dumb but the thoughts consume me!

I don't really have any *things* that I'm afraid of - at least in a way that I think is irrational. :naughty:
