I'll keep my fears limited to actual things instead of situations, etc.

wrinkles
sharks (!!!)
water
tomatoes
bridges
snakes (!!!)
choking (I guess this could be considered a situation)

these are my top fears...I'm sure there are many others.

That I will EVER be seen in public as disheveled as The First Lady of NY

That was intentional - and, I can assure you I was fierce when I walked though the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria in that and out of the limo and into the venue. Moreover, I paid a FORTUNE to have that make up done professionally. Of course, there is only so much she could do with this mug o mine

Seriously, of course I have looked like shiitte in public.

Heights (I saw someone jump off a high structure and kill themselves)
Flying (I am dealing with it now as my boyfriend is Delta pilot)
Loss of loved ones
Being paralyzed
Burning or drowning to death
Infertility (no reason to worry, but that clock is ticking . . .)

Fears I have overcome:

Public speaking (had to as a litigator and now a professor)
Being alone
Not being "perfect" enough to gain another's love, approval or attention

My fears are pretty limited, but the ones I do hold are kind of irrational and I just can't get past them.


- Cracking my back. I'm terrified of it. I never have. Never have let anyone else. I just know that the one time it pops, I'll end up completely paralyzed, rolling around in a wheelchair that I control with my mouth or something completely ridiculous.

- Being sprayed in the face. Even when I get in the shower in the morning, I have to cover up my face with my hands and let the water run over my hands, gradually to my face, then I can kind of deal with it, but only briefly. It's not about water really because I'm perfectly fine having my face underwater like in a pool.. it's just the actual spray. If someone squirted me in the face with a spray bottle or water gun, I'd flip the **** out. I don't know why.

You'd probably lapse into a coma if your balance read what mine does...

Yeah really. What if I accidentally bounce when I'm buying more handbags?

And every eye doctor I've seen has told me I have the freakingly strongest eyelids on the planet.

I fear that I may never have 5K in my checking account.
