Phobias

Not really a phobia, but I get paranoid when I am in a dark room at night, by myself. That sucks since I live by myself now. I leave the hall light on every night so my room is not completely dark at night.

I have a fear of spiders due to an incident as a child. I also have a fear of falling not sure why. but my worse fear is of being helpless when someone I care about is in danger.

Altair88 - Yeah, I think I may be as well. Both of my worst nightmares ever were of me not being able to help my brother when he was in trouble.

Yeah it's been that way for me for awhile not only with Family either. Friends hell even my Ex's I fear not being able to help them if they are in trouble. Though for you it was a night mare but for me reality, my little brother was beaten up and robbed by a group of kids while walking to the store. Needless to say I was more pissed at myself than anyone.

I hate hate hate mirrors. I used to see things as a kid and I was always afraid to look into mirrors because I didn't want to see something that I shouldn't. To this day, I have to turn my mirrors around at night, I try to block them from my peripheral, the lights have to be on when there's a mirror, and I can't look at one for too long. I'm always afraid something will appear behind me or my reflection will do something that it shouldn't be doing. It sucks because I'm a hairstylist and I rely on my mirrors and am surrounded by them XD

altair88- It doesn't help the phobia at all. When I do hair, I try to shut the world out so that my client is my only thought. Because of that I get spooked when I see someone's reflection as they're walking around the shop. It makes it worse XD But I love my job and I can put up with mirrors for my clients :P
