We should learn to grieve correctly and approriately, it has a cathartic effect

Dying prematurely is another of my worries, not quite a phobia, but a worry.

Im afraid of dying & leaving my kids motherless as I was at 14 (son is 14, daughter 10 this year)

Yes, it's dreadful, sometimes terrifying, but what can you do ?

After watching my Mother die in the ICU in 1994 I developed an irrational dread of the inevitable, dying.

I supposed you'd call that a phobia ?

I am claustrophobic(?). Not sure of the spelling.

Years ago, I was lying on the floor, trying to get something from under the bed, and my mischievous younger sister, thought that it was funny to lie in my legs, and not move.Luckily, mum heard the screams, and came to the rescue.

Even the thought of a confined space, gives me goosebumps.

Dentists
Dont go untill I cant bear it any longer
Then have to have the injection in my arm before they do any work at all
This all stems from having 5 out at once when I was young
It was a horrible experience,

thanks Shimms.

it's quite a mild case. doc said it's not as bad as it could be and everyone around me knows and knows what to do say when they can see i am getting uncomfortable so helps prevent any really bad panic attacks i might get. it's usually ok, just certain situations i don't like overly much!

tell me about it, i never used to be bad with escalators it's just in the last few years. :)

Hi Daisy,

I do too and ... you then had to come all the way back up, gosh how steep were those escalators ... seemed to me that they were like a 1:1 hill, shuddering thinking about them.

I remember too your fear of wind. xxx

My dear old nan (bit like caff tates nan but without the swearing LOL ) was afraid of mice.

I once had a board game as a kid which had small plastic coloured mice with long tails. Looked nothing like the real thing,

I mucked about putting one near her & she went mad at me, I could see it in her face she wasnt joking either !

Hubby is phobic of rats, cant blame him as his dad was Lock keeper on the river Lea & the lock keepers house was stuck in a field near to the lock.
Apparently there was loads of rats along the river bank & I would imagine being one of six kids, they were told some gory tales to keep them away from the river (and falling in )!
