hmm... let's talking about "What are you afraiding of..."


I am afraiding of high and guns :eek2:
 
Heights... no, not really, I am not scared of flying at high altitudes, but I am afraid of FALLING off from a high places so therefore, I am scared of tall buildings or stairs or elevators where windows are the walls..

Recently I went with a friend to her hospital.. and they have this type of elevator with windows so as it goes up and down on a side of the building so you get the view of the "city" from the elevator... INCLUDES the ground... My friend was aware of my proclaimed phobia but never took me serious until she saw me reacting to the moment in that elevator. I got tense as the elevator went up and I kept my back away from the windows and trying to lean myself toward the doors and I started to panic *breathing quickly, pupils widening, etc* (it went up to fifth floor...) and she had to assure me that we were okay. [laughing] I was like, "I KNOW! I just cannot help it." I tried to face it by looking at the ground and assured myself that the elevator wont break and fall off and me falling flat to my death... (that is the CONSTANT thought of my phobia- "Will this structure fall apart and I fall to my death?")
It is strange because usually I force myself to tolerate high places ie: elevators but my behavior is obviously affected by my phobia.. I am straining to face and defy the fear yet it is an infallible phobia.

I have defied my fear of cockroaches and spiders... I stopped screaming whenever I see a roach or a BITSY SPIDER... but still I am squeamish about them and avoiding them much as i can.. (THAT IS NORMAL, RIGHT?! lol) I can kill a spider on my own... with a LOT, LOT of tissue paper and protective gloves on my hands... :-D AN IMPROVEMENT. ;) Usually I would scream and scream until somebody comes and takes that little disgusted thing away from my "space"...
 
I have a fear of heights and guns too.... :shock:
 
2 things why do I hate guns and high:

- guns: I hate when I driving a car and never know if bad people in the car behind me and shooting :rifle: throught my head blow to windshield.
-never know if I sitting and watching tv in living room and a person from outside stand outside of my window and shot at me that's why I always put fold blinds every night.
-I hate falling from high "city" :-o

Phobia of height after I saw one lady who fell from the top of the waterfall when she climbed. She slipped after her right foot climbed on the top of the green slimey thing. She hit on the bottom where there was a boulder under the waterfall. Her neck was broken and I ran down to her and pull her out of the current water and then, ran down to the campsite...screamin' for help. They took her to the hospital. That time when I was 11 years old... it hit me hard and my life will never be the same ever since. I am still phobia of height since the age of 11.

What scares me the most is the thought of anything happening to one of my kids!

BTW I noticed nearly all posts above phobia of guns, is nearly all american people have guns in their glovebox or purse?

Her name was Jackie. She returned from the hospital after a few days later and she was wearin' a cast around her neck and she had a small fracture in her right arm. She gave me an envelope with a small note sayin' "Thank you for savin' my life" along with some candies in it. It happened at Camp Sequoia in California.
