You guys I am really digging these Blogtober challenges! I haven't done them all but I like the ones I do. if that makes sense.
Today's prompt is: My Biggest Fear.
As an anxiety sufferer I don't know how to pick just one.
I know this is something that I need to work on and overcome - it has been a 26 year long process.
However, in short: I am afraid of anything I can't control. Cancer, Car accidents, Disease, Plane crashes, etc.
What is your biggest fear??
How much time do we have? I couldn't listen all my fears... some totally stupid & impossible - I can still fear crazy clowns - right?
ReplyDeletehaha clowns are super creepy! I have sooo many fears; too. it;s not good.
Deleteoh man. the things we can't control. those things are SO SCARY - because you can't really prevent them. you can try your best but they might just creep up anyway, you know? i totally feel you on this one.
ReplyDeletei wish I could just prevent the unknown from happening. Or be warned about it. But alas that is not an option. ugh.
DeleteHeights, random diseases (am I having a heart attack?), infections, car wrecks, bombings, shootings (<-- thus my fear of big crowds), anything involving dying or running for my life, being broke (again).
ReplyDeleteoh man makes total sense, every time I'm at a baseball game or a in a big crowd I think how easy of a target I am and how we could all die at any moment. I try not to think that way though.
DeleteI hear you! I am also afraid of things I can't control. Sometimes it is so hard for me to hand over situations to God, even though cognitively I know he can handle things MUCH bette than I can.
ReplyDeleteexactly! cognitively it makes more sense to trust God but then I'm like "BUT WHAT IF??!"
Deletesmall spaces is what gets me. I cannot (CAN.NOT) go down a tube slide. even if it's a waterslide. because of the small space. I have nightmares about being in small closed in spaces.
ReplyDeleteoh man Small Spaces can be a little freaky but there is usually a way out right? haha but that is a legit fear!
DeleteWhen I was younger I was afraid of not being in control, but somehow as I got older (and lots of life happened) I learned to let that fear go. I mean, when those things happen there's pretty much nothing you can do about it, but worrying isn't going to make it any better. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could fully learn this lesson. I know that it won;t change it but it doesn't make the unknown less scary :)
