What is your deepest, darkest fear?
Submitted by [Susan].

   
I have two deep, dark fears.

Falling...everytime I am in a situation that involves heights, I feel like I am going to fall. It's irrational. I can be standing on the 4th floor of a parking garage, nowhere near the edge and I get this overwhelming sensation that I am going to fall. Or I can be on the 3rd floor of a building waiting for the elevator, and get this feeling that I am going to just fall through the floor. Isn't that ridiculous?! There is this sky bridge between one of the local hospitals and it's parking garage, and I cannot cross it. I take two steps on to it and I have to sit down. I can't overcome the feeling that either it or I am going to fall....even though rationally I know that is not going to happen. It's crazy.

Not being able to scream when I need to scream. I have dreams like this. Someone grabs me (or someone I love) and starts tor run away and I am unable to scream. I try to scream...but no sound comes out. Nothing. I am paralyzed with fear. This one doesn't get to me often. I usually am very careful to make sure I am in situations that would not require me to scream if someone did try to grab me. I know it's weird, but it's there. I honestly am not sure I could scream if but in an overwhelmingly scary situation...
