I'm claustrophobic. It sucks, especially at concerts, because then I have to be in the back in case I need to escape.
I also have a deep-seated fear of nuclear war. When I was in 9th grade, we watched a bunch of videos about the atomic bomb and its effects on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was sick and sad that we as human beings could do that to people.
I am also extremely frightened of bridges. I have a recurring dream where I drive off of the end of an unfinished bridge and drown. A book I once read suggested that such recurring dreams associated with strong fears or phobias is how you died in a past life. That provides some comfort...lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, right?
