The Glade 4.0

I am so glad you didn't have cancer! My mom died of pancreatic cancer last year....I did a lot of research and read about the sphincter problem. *huggles* Hooray for cancer free! I hope you never have to have another MRI again.

Getting old and feeble. The slow decay of age is what scares me the most.

I think so. It's why I'm casually reckless about everything.

I'm probably not what you would consider young, but I have many more walks in the moonlight, kisses under the stars, and trips to exotic locales left in me...and I can afford it now.

It's my experience that things get better with age.

I love swimming...but I hate hate hate having my head held under water.

Heights a bit, too. I don't remember having much of a problem with it when I was little, but my father had to go away to school for a couple of months while I was in 3rd grade. First thing he did when he got back was to raise me up in the air like he'd always done...and I got scared. Couldn't have been much more than 6 1/2 feet up, but I didn't like it.

Oh, in addition to snakes, the ocean. It is so unknown and unexplored that I just...I can't go out on boats. I can stand on a pier or on the beach, but I can't actually go out into the water.

Taskiss, your MRI story terrified me just reading it. *SO* glad the results were negative, but man do I wish you hadn't had to get in that thing at all. Just seeing them in TV or movies makes me nervous at the thought that I might ever someday have to do it myself

The funny thing was I had NO idea it would affect me that way. I haven't had problems with claustrophobia in any other situation before or after. I've even done spelunking when I was younger and wiggled through some pretty tight passages, so I thought I would be just fine.

Most of the time they'll be able to give you drugs if you want. As I understand it, it's not that common that someone has to do the "holding their breath" thing for an exam.

I hope you live a long and medically uneventful life, Shel!

I don't think I have any phobias. Whenever I'm in the dentist's chair in CA, however, I frequently think about what would happen if The Big One hit at that moment.

But, real phobias? No, not really. Not real keen on being diagnosed as dead and stuck in a coffin, then waking up, but I don't know if that counts.

BTW, Glad you're OK, Taskiss.

I see life where you can't control who you are or what you do to be worse than death. Since we can't control everything, this explains my self-destructive tendencies. Mind you, that's self diagnosed, but it's the explanation I have.

Some of the things leading up to that were moving around a lot as a kid and losing my friends, being frustrated with living in the States and watching my grand mother lose her mind to dementia in her last years. They found her sleeping outside in the middle of winter on the ground one time, no explanation as to how or why she was there.

Physical things that scare me include a mild fear of heights I'm plunging headfirst into conquering. Other than that, the prospect of death being inevitable means that I don't find dangerous things to be consciously distracting and since the worst most things can do (deadly insects and animals, bugs, water, electricity) is give you a bit of pain then kill you, I don't find the to debilitatingly frightening.

Home invasion. Always am paranoid about this at night. This I think contributes to my light sleeping. I could hear a mouse fart that is how alert I am at night.
Oh and teeth breaking creeps me out.
