I am afraid of anchors. I can’t even look at a boat on tv. The long big ropes that tie the boat to the dock petrify me. I try to look at a picture of a boat, but it scares me to death. The funny thing is if the boat is not in water or if an anchor is on land, I’m ok. It’s just when they’re in the water. I can’t look at the water, especially in the evening. My heart is racing as I write this just visualizing a boat in the water and the long ropes and the anchor. How can I get help??

My fear is that I’ve already had my biggest success and it’s downhill from here. Or even worse, that if I believe my worst fear, I will make it come true.

Leah I fear I am going to do nothing with my life every day. In fact I came on here to read about what you were doing so I could think about something else! It was so much easier though when every day I could wake up and ask you what I was going to do with my life…because then you would comfort me by saying you were going to crawl into a dark hole with me!
Oh and I ALWAYS call Jono and make him check if the straightener is on Natalie! It’s perfectly okay to be a little OCD!!

Hey Leah…I’m commenting on your blog (hehehe)!! But I totally love this question. Like you I totally have the fear of not amounting to anything. I’ve actually felt like that for the last year or so. I call it my quarter life crisis. It happened right before I turned 25 and has been going on ever since. But it’s definitely pushing me in the right direction because it’s that fear that’s motivating to work hard and get my butt in gear. But I have funny fears too…I always get this weird vision of me breaking my ankle. I’m the clumsiest person ever and I’m surprised I haven’t broken it yet for how many times I’ve injured it. Weird…I know!!!

I’m always afraid of getting fired–it’s constantly on my mind! I’m afraid of people “getting me” when I’m running and it’s dark outside, jumping out of a vehicle or from behind a tree, etc. (maybe that’s not so much an irrational fear but common sense!) I’m afraid of owls and fire.

Every time a couple, who seemed so great together, breaks up, I feel blindsided and have a mini-freak out for about 2 days while I fret that my boyfriend is going to do the same thing to me! It's irrational and he's never given me a reason to think that, but I just can't help it. .-= Leahchristine´s last blog ..This weekend =-.

The last one. The last one is definitely something that haunts me… especially as I see-saw between between so motivated and being so afraid to fail. But lately I’m forcing myself to just jump and risk failing because if you don’t try, you will never know right?

i wouldnt say those last few are too irrational... i think everyone has a fear of getting fired and a fear of not becoming anything in life. but i think that its what pushes you to become better. .-= Mich´s last blog ..The Next Chapter… =-.

I would be the one who always worries about leaving the hair straightener on and am going to burn down the house. I call home at least once a week to make sure I haven't. I also don't like to leave the dryer on when I'm asleep or not home. .-= mandy´s last blog ..Weekend Thoughts =-.

1) Hair straightener, obviously a problem that I am working on
2) That I will have to get one or both of my feet amputated
3) Nose bleeds. I used to be that kid in grade 2 that had a nose bleed EVERY DAY. This is why I don’t like anyone touching my nose/nasal area.
4) I worry there are spiders living in my bed.
5) And of course – money. Effing money.
