Yesterday I remembered and talked about my phobias and realized that I have a lot of them. There are phobias that pass in a milder degree, and there are those that lead me to panic attacks. I am very much afraid of heights and insects. These are the things that make me go to extremes, panic and behave inappropriately. Probably, I would call the fear of heights my most important fear.
I remember how one day I climbed a bridge in Moscow and could not get off. At the very top of this bridge, I started a panic attack. I stood in the middle and could not get off. The bridge was in the shape of an arc. I cried a lot. A lot of people gathered around me and tried to help me. I lay down with my whole body on the ground and began to crawl down. When I managed to get off, I vomited. For a very long time I could not move away from the shock.
A little less, but very much I am afraid of insects. I already wrote a post below about why I became afraid of them.
I'm also afraid to swim in water where I can't see the bottom. I do not swim in rivers, lakes, bodies of water. Also, I do not swim in the sea if it is muddy.
Sometimes I’m scared to go downstairs, I’ll catch myself thinking that I might fall and break my legs. I'm just afraid to break something for myself.
I am afraid to speak in front of a large audience. I start to panic. At school and university I always answered my homework by writing. The teachers knew that I was terrified of speaking in front of an audience and were understanding to this.
❓What are you afraid of?
