Accidentally Destroying the School's Plumbing

Being Left Alone With My Thoughts
From when I was about 9, I had a fear of being left alone with my thoughts because they were upsetting to me. I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and as a result of it I am constantly bombarded with intrusive disturbing thoughts, so I was afraid of them and being left alone with them. -
Now
I like to think I'm not afraid of anything anymore, but I currently have fears of the open ocean (walking on long boardwalks with no rail), because if I fell in I couldn't keep myself afloat for long.
