Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
Found out yesterday that since the two wisdom teeth in question came in fully and sit up nice and high like normal teeth... there will be no need to Put me under. He said it would literally take longer to give me a local and wait for it to start working than it would to actually remove the teeth...
Being as such, he did warn me about something that scared the bajeezus out of me again... He said that sometimes when they pull a wisdom tooth on the top side... it opens up a hole into your sinuses... which can lead to infection... which... scares the crap out of me... my sinuses already have enough holes. And then he told me that sometimes pulling one from the bottom can leave part of your lip and tongue permanently paralyzed... both of which I use on a daily basis and would prefer them to stay in good working order... Dentistry is a barbaric practice... but necessary I suppose. |

I think it's time for a new Dentist. This guy sounds shady!

My biggest fear is being separated from my family during a disaster and not being able to get in touch/together with them (no cell phone service, etc.).

Personally, I'm not big on dark water. Used to swim at a lake at my grandparents' that is populated by gators. I learned to snorkle in the Gulf of Mexico, less than 3 miles from the pier where we used to watch fishemen pull in sharks. It trained a hypervigilence into me that sometimes blossoms into paranoia. I love the water, so I try to keep it in check, but sometimes I just have to get my feet back on dry land and calm myself down. |

When I'm diving in stirred up water and I get intent on staring at something on the bottom, then look up and see a giant "whatever it is" swimming ten feet away and I can't make it out. It sends a shiver right up my spine. It's fun. :) |

I'm not sure I would call it a "fear" because that implies some level of rationality, but... I'm a claustrophobe, especially with large crowds. It's not like being afraid of something that can legitimately hurt you, like poisonous snakes or falling off your roof. Intellectually, I know that I can't be injured by being in a small, enclosed space. But if I'm in one, I panic; crowded elevators are the worst! It bothers me that I have this visceral reaction to something harmless. It seems to have gotten worse with age.

I'm extremely claustrophobic but what scares me the most is the thought of having to carry on a conversation with any of my wife's sisters and most of her brothers. It is a mind numbing, IQ lowering experience that requires hours of intellectual stimulation to bring me out of my coma.

I have some of the claustrophobia, crowd, and get vertigo at heights but I'm not afraid of these things just uncomfortable at a visceral level.
The only thing that really scares me is something happening to my kids like many have already mentioned. Particularly something involving long term illness or disability. I'm mean anything bad to your kid is bad but having to watch them struggle and suffer for a long time plus having to find a way to step up everyday to support them pretty much scares the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of me. Fortunately I don't think about it much and am not of a temperament to do so unlike my wife who worries about all kinds of random ****. Good luck with all the dentistry. It amazes me how much surgery of any kind reminds me of advanced carpentry. |
Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
Big time scares for are...
Anything involving the Dentist. I usually have to get the little blue pill before I go to just get a basic cleaning. I really hate bodies of water too, ocean, lakes, ponds whatever. Only things that I can really say bother me, because I get real bad anxiety. Nothing else does it for me. |
