Phobias?

[Sharky]

Anyone here afraid f those big giant roller coasters?

Count me in.

(I'm even afraid of little tiny rollercoasters.)

I got a trick to get over that fear (since i love those roller coasters now). Just go on the biggest roller coaster again and again. You'll lose that fear since you get used to the funny tummy effect. Then you can go on any ride . Worked for me hehe.

Wow i'm surprised at some phobias here. Especially catapillars . 

 

It's funny. Until about third grade, I just loved caterpillars. I'd only seen the smal ones and I liked playing around with them, and especially flipping them over because I thought it looked cute when they'd turn over. When I saw a big caterpillar for the first time, a fifth grader was messing around with it, and when he flipped it over, the way the caterpillar flipped, flopped and carried on effected me somehow. Since then, I can't even look at a caterpillar; fat or tiny. I remember once when I was around 15 years old, I saw one in my garrage, and I refused to be in there without the lights on for a long time. Never mind being barefoot in the dark.

I think it's because the way they look when bigger ones turn. It looks a little grosome sometimes.

A LITTLE gruesome!!! That was the only time I saw a big one turn, but the image is still with me to this day.

Phobias...
Well, up until last year I had a 3 year lapse of fear of people. The fear was that I could not go into a grocery store, or any store for that matter and stand in a line up. I would freak out. I would literally put all the stuff I wanted to buy on the floor, counter, anywhere and leave. I felt like the world was closing in on me. I would get to the point that I would black out. Pretty freaky
After dealing with that for a while I went to a psychiatrist and what did he do? Put me on drugs for 2 years.
Day after day I was taking anywhere from 4-10 pills.
I could not take it anymore so I gave it all to God one day. I asked Him to help me with it...so I could be okay, like everyone else.
God healed me of it instantly. Once I relied on Him soley, He could do His work in me.
I am proud to say that I have not taken any medication for just about a year and a half. AMEN!!!
I have no fear in me.
Although some things freak me out like heights or spiders. I have wolf spiders in my house and those suckers are huge. They like to bite me while I am sleeping.
I don't like bees and wasps either. I usually run away from them, or kill em if I have the chance. Their stingers really hurt.

I just try to give all to God. He is big enough to protect me from anything!

ew! *shivers* wolf spiders are nasty... and big and hairy... ah! give me the creeps.

 

[Lbiagm]

i am afraid of driving too.

 

[naomi_b]

Haaaaaaah! I'm really scared of Sharks too. Imean I know I will hardly ever be attacked by one (as in Switzerland there's no ocean, I don't go to Italy or anywhere else too often..)
But they just freak me out, even on tv....

Greetings
