Our first apartment had so. many. spiders. And our cat was a very good girl and killed them all for me. I never actually saw any of them after she chased them down, so I just assumed she ate them all. Except when we moved out a few months later and moved the couch, I found them. All of them. It was like a goddamned spider graveyard under there...

Yuck!!!!!!!!! I f'ing hate spider bodies! I always fear that are going to spring back to life and kill me! (I'm a rational person I swear! )

OMG, me too!! I just keep thinking "But what if they're just playing dead?!"

Exactly! I wouldn't put anything past those little demons!

I have very recently (since DD was born) developed a fear of driving over tall bridges. I realized this as I had a sudden small panic attack while driving on one (with the entire fam) that I had driven on many times before. I didn't say anything to DH in case it was a one time deal. It wasn't. I have severe anxiety about it and avoided it the next time I had to drive it. I finally told him and he was sympathetic. He'll drive next time we need to cross that bridge and I'll see how I do as a passenger. That was some scary shit, though!

Oh my goodness I have this too. Whenever I'm on the highway and can see over an edge with a far drop I imagine myself accidentally driving over it and get filled with total terror. Then I look in the rear view and see the kids and get even more terrified. Vivid feeling of falling amd yelling I love you to the kids before we crash to our deaths. It's terrible. There is an area of highway near us that goes over a huge quarry and I avoid it at all costs.

This is exactly what happened before my first panic attack! As I approached, I had a vision of driving off the bridge, flying through the air, and crashing at the bottom. Terror is a perfect description. I'm glad I'm not alone!

minae01 not sure if you've taken that route before but the Chicago Skyway is terrifying.

I have a long time ago. Thankfully, I haven't needed to take in years. It's awful! This bridge is on 355.

I am afraid of really tall balconies. I can stand way back and look out, but cannot go to the edge.

It's even worse now with DS. I was looking for vacation condos and everything I was finding was of a high floor with a balcony. I kept having horrible visions of him falling off and yelling for me. *shiver* So first floor condos only...

Sometimes I lay in bed at night and think I should order an escape ladder. Unfortunately I just looked them up and they are all meant for only 3 stories.

So this is kind of left field, and totally irrational, but I am totally freaked out about a large scale EMP (electro magnetic pulse) that takes out all electronics, especially when I am traveling away from my kids. It is so dooms day, and before kids, I figured that if it actually did happen I could fend for myself. But now, if I was traveling, chances are I would never get home to see my kids, even if we all survived.

craftcrazymama have you ever seen "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock? Birds is large flocks creep me out. Not the same way spiders do, but still creepy.

Now why would I do that?!
