Day 10- Irrational Fears

Day 10 is about my biggest fears. My absolute biggest fear is of spiders. (And although the big poisonous ones are very scary I haven't ever actually seen one) I am talking about little bitty spiders. Spiders that are not poisonous. And that do not bite. And occasionally climb up the water spout. I know know, I have heard the speech a thousand times. They are little and harmless and they won't hurt me... UNLESS one crawls up my nose and bites me with its poison pinchers. I could die! OR what if it laid little babies in my ears?! I could have spiders everywhere. I am so afraid that whenever I see a spider crawling I scream. And I know that I am known to scream about everything, but this is an ear piercing scream. I mean I know a fear of spiders is hardly strange, especially compared to the lady with a fear of feathers, but it is my fear.

Another fear I have is of waking up and being the only person on Earth alive, and then finding that the only other person is some creepy old man who blames me for the mysterious deaths of the planet. And he is trying to kill me. Now I know that this will never in a million years happen, but I still think about odd scenarios that scare me so much. I can seriously feel my heart beating faster. I know what you are thinking... Does this girl need professional help?? No. I do not worry about this all the time. This (usually) only when I can not sleep, and I have consumed way too much Diet Coke. Wow. I just thought of another fear... What if I was day dreaming about one of my odd scenarios and then a spider crawled on my head???? I would probably die of a heart attack. So that better not ever ever EVER happen.
