As in, fear or worry about this thing enters your head just about every day. Rational or irrational.

Ending up completely alone for decades. Like, family dead, and friends having moved onto other things or having other priorities.

Opening doors. Every time I open a door I have the fear that there is going to be something horrifying on the other side.

I also worry constantly about various family members.

My mom dying, never being able to have children, losing important things (ID, phone, etc.).

My boyfriend breaking up with me and me being alone for the rest of my life. Never being able to move out on my own.

Never making new friends and being friendless forever. Also me forgetting to lock my apartment and people breaking in as a result

Getting sick, and the people I love dying.

Those cans that you peel the paper back to get to the biscuit dough.

Losing my glasses, or my glasses suddenly breaking when I am out doing something. And okay, that's rational at a theme park, but trying on clothes at Target? Not so much. Oh anxiety disorder, you so fun!

getting pregnant. I don't have sex with dudes or anything so idk why I'm so afraid of it, but I still think about it pretty often.

My greatest fear is finding myself in a situation in which death would be a mercy and death doesn't come.

Locked-in syndrome, and being imprisoned and tortured are two more specific scenarios I'm afraid of.

Brain: Hey you might pass out in front of all these people.

Me: Yep.

Brain: Your body might do weird things while you're unconscious.

Me: Possibly.

Brain: People are going to stare at you while your body does weird things while you're unconscious.

Me: ...

Brain: They'll probably call an ambulance and try to help you.

Me: ...

Brain: And then you'll come to like nothing happened and they'll all be angry at you for wasting their time.

Me: ...

Brain: Or you'll come to and you won't be able to speak or move and you'll have to just go along with whatever weird shit people at the hospital want to do to you because nobody will check your medical alert info or call your doctor and they'll try to bring your heart rate level with the evil drug that makes you feel like you're actually dying.

Me: So what you're saying is we should never leave the house again?

Brain: Yes.

That someone else can read my thoughts lol

Failure.

Getting pregnant, loosing my parents, and being eaten by giant spiders.

Airplanes are my biggest fear because of my combination of vertigo and fear of heights. I have nightmares about them even when I'm not going to be flying any time soon. And even going to the airport to pick someone else up ends up heightening my nerves.

Anything having to do with not breathing is a big fear too. Stems from my asthma/allergies and also from almost choking as a kid. If I feel like I can't breathe I start getting nervous. Which means that any sort of chest pressure, even indigestion, can make me nervous (less so when I'm on my antidepressant, but more so right now with the steroid I'm on).

Okay, so, I read one of those choose your own adventure books as a kid. And in one of them, this kid is out skiing all day after not sleeping the night before, and when he goes to sleep, some time in the middle of the night he stops breathing and dies, and it is said to be natural causes. Ever since I read that, any time I'm just completely exhausted I have trouble getting to sleep because I'm nervous about dying in my sleep. Even though I've never heard of an actual medical thing that would make this natural causes.

Actually, also anesthesia makes me nervous. Or any idea of not being aware of what is around me and being unconscious. It is a control issue for me. I have to know what is going on, and I get nervous when I don't. Part of why I have sleep issues, though not nearly as badly as when I was a kid. I would rather die the most painful death and be aware of it than die in my sleep without knowing it was happening.

Getting pregnant. Like, I've had actual nightmares about being pregnant before. It's terrifying.

I'm so terrified about being pregnant that I refuse to have sex.

Tornados

Becoming completely paralized in an accident

Getting horribly burned over my face and most of my body

my body not healing

me never getting on track as far as my dreams and career go, that I'll never find anything sustainable and fulfilling

never having true friends I can trust and rely on, and not being able to be a true friend back

Mum dying.

Losing my pension (I think it's less likely, though I have not got any letters from Centrelink since the phone appointment, meanwhile I have had two pays that are still at full pension level).

Indoor lightening strikes during electric storms - somewhat irrational though not impossible (it travels through wiring and water).

Falling down an escalator - I think this is a rational outgrowth of my fear of heights. Also, it's always downwards escalators.

Trump being voted in, causing World War 3.

The end of the world - which I would like to state is something of a religious fear, and comes coupled with worries about not going to Heaven.

I want to answer this but I've already been called a radfem once this week.

See the thing is when it's dark, and I'm alone, anything can be scary, but I have one specific fear that never not comes up.

Upsetting people close to me so much that they confirm what the voice in my head always tells me constantly. That I'm trash and should die.

Living with anxiety is a bit like being in the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.

Are you afraid of responsibility? If you are, then you have hypengyophobia.
I don't think that's quite it.
How about cats? If you're afraid of cats, you have ailurophasia.
Well, sort of, but I'm not sure.
Are you afraid of staircases? If you are, then you have climacaphobia. Maybe you have thalassophobia. This is fear of the ocean, or gephyrobia, which is the fear of crossing bridges. Or maybe you have pantophobia. Do you think you have pantophobia?
What's pantophobia?
The fear of everything.
THAT'S IT!

But generally my biggest fear is that one of my pets has died and I don't know it yet so I'm just being happy and having a good time not even knowing what's happened.
