Fears and nightmares

I also HATE being in very cramped places when there is no clear way out.

For me movement is the critical factor. I can push myself through a very narrow tunnel so that the sides are practically pressing on me. So long as I can keep moving I won't be afraid at all. Even if I can only move backwards and forwards a bit. Once I can't move, I find it very difficult not to panic. I've been through tiny dark caves and not been afraid, but sometimes I flip out when I get stuck trying to take a tight jumper off.

Jesuits, they are everywhere...

Seriously though, for some reason I have a thing about losing an eye. Not about going blind, but just the thought of getting an eye plucked out. When you think about it, your eyeballs are pretty vulnerable... makes me cringe thinking about it.

Not a real fear, but I have a serious problem with swallowing pills. Takes a real comittment and a few attempts to get it done. Probably related to that I choked on some candy when I was really young.

Thats always a bad one, if you don't get it right on the first try you can end up with an aspirin (or god forbid something less legal) stuck halfway down you throat.

Yeah, I've noticed that when taking pills for a couple of weeks, it becomes much easier eventually; so makes sense. (though I think it'll get unlearnt relatively quickly)

what i also notice is that for me, taking pills with apple juice is easiest.

I used to have a fear of large dogs, because I used to frequently have vivid dreams that I was being chased/mauled by large dogs. I've mostly gotten over that, fortunately.
