I am afraid of big trucks on bridges. I have no problem with cars, but when I'm on a bridge with a dozen or so semi's loaded with who knows how much weight, I become very uncomfortable. I tell myself that these trucks are on these bridges all the time and the bridges don't cave in. It still doesn't help. I also don't like it when I'm stopped on a bridge. The bridges move. I've been told that that's a good thing, but it makes me afraid.

I don't know if I have any...
but I do know what I don't like....but only if I don't see them first.
Certain spiders and definitely...roaches. I grew up in Hawaii and we have very big ones there! I have been known to do the "jump on the couch" trick upon seeing a roach on the floor near me...they move VERY fast! Ugh!

Lets see, snakes, mice, can climb on a ladder but only 2 steps. Roller coasters, I rode the Loch Ness monster at Busch Gardens in Va and I promised God if he just let me live to get off that I would never ride another one.
The clown in IT also freaked me out!
I don't like water in my face, when I'm in the shower and put my face in, I am constantly blowing out so as to not take any water in.
I used to be deathly afraid on needles, then had to go on insulin-3 shots a day- had to turn that over to God. No problem with that now.
I don't like being away from home at night.
Like to sit with my back to a wall in a restaurant, I was robbed at gun point once and have to see what is going on all around me now.
Thats a lot of baggage, but all in all I feel pretty normal.
