Long Bridges. I use to have to go with my sister from memphis to west memphis across the M bridge which is like a mile long and I would hold my breath and close my eyes and lock down until we were safely across every time. Lake Ponchatrain (sp?) too. That is a LONG bridge. I feel like I'm going to throw up whenever i go across a churning body of water. There is this spillway at the lake in my town that has this bridge over it and its no more than 30 feet across but everyone who I ever tell about my fear of this thing tries to drag me across it. NO FUCKING THANK YOU!

FROGS! OH MY GOD! When I was a little girl about 3 or 4 I was going outside one night to get something for my mom out of her car and my shoes were outside because they were wet and when I slipped my foot inside there was a red tree frog inside one of them and it squished ALL over my foot and I can't get within 10 feet of one now. It was AWFUL when I lived in my previous home because every spring/summer night I couldn't go outside because every outside door would have a frog on it. Just sitting here typing this I can feel them crawling on me.

anything creepy crawly, spiders, bugs, lizzards, snakes.

Ever since I can remember. I couldn't have been more than 5 I've had this insane fear of the end of the world. I remember being that young and having panic attacks laying in bed at night thinking about the planet imploding and recently it has manifested into nuclear explosions. One of those things where some country bombs some city in the US and they fire back and bomb somewhere else and then someone bombs them and we all get to shooting until the whole world is like a million zillion degrees and everything just fries. What do you call THAT?

Then there is the fear of flying brought on by 9/11 and the one where I am afraid that my little girl is going to choke or get strangled or just stop breathing and I not find her until it is too late....I'm just a paranoid freak.
