Natalie's Fears
-
Fear of Death
My grandpa who I was very close to died, bringing about my fear of death. What happens when we die? If death is really nothing then what happens while we're nothing? -
Fear of Spiders
I had a nightmare that my dad got bit by this poisonous spider and he ended up dying. After I woke up I had a really big fear of spiders. It was so bad that every time I would see one I would have a panic attck. -
Fear of Heights
It's not so much a fear of heights as it is falling from heights. I'm not exactly sure where this fear came from, but i would get so freaked out everytime I had to go someplace tall. -
Fear of My Knee Surgery
The summer after 5th grade I was having a lot of knee problems, and after a bunch of doctors appointments they said that I needed surgery. As they date kept on coming closer I kept on jumping to the worst conclusions. What if something went wrong and I loose too much blood? What if the anesthesia dosn't work on me? What if they Have to amputate my leg because they messed up? None of it happened though, much to my relief. -
Fear of going to a New School
My mom got a new job so my family and I ended up moving from Oklahoma to Massachusetts. I was afraid that I wasn't going to fit in with the other kids, and that they weren't going to like me. I was afraid that I was going to get bullied and that I wouldn't have any friends. Come January though I had a tight group of friends. -
Fear of Getting Hurt
I started getting bullied pretty badly, and I kept on getting a bunch of threats. I was afraid that somebody was going to seriously hurt me. -
Fear of Not Fitting In
I moved again, and moving into the eighth grade can be tough because evrybody already knows each other and they already have their friend groups sorted out. I was afraid that there wasn't going to be room for one more person anywhere, and I was going to end up a loner. -
Current Fears
Today I still have a really big fear of death that keeps me awake at night. I also still have a fear of spiders and heights, but they are very mild and I can deal with them> I've lost my fear of getting hurt and fitting in. I've also lost my fear of surgery, but if I were told I needed surgery again I'm pretty sure it might pop up again.
