Let's talk about fears.

[Deleted]

I got over one of my hugest fears today. The dentist.

I haven't been like 7 years. I cried a little, then I got the gas.

Then I got vicodin.

This experience went better than the last time I went.

(and don't worry ladies, my kid is not fending for himself while I'm drugged, mmk?)

[Llama in Mules]

Vics and the gas will get you over the fear easily!

[Deleted]

Yup, I can't wait to go back lol.

[dearprudence]

I hate the dentist. And I don't think drugs will help since Vicodin does nothing but make me throw up.

[Deleted]

The gas and Vicodin?! I need to go to your dentist. Mine just numbs me. I didn't go for so long but I finally did and I had nine cavities. Rough!

I'm afraid of driving on the highway. I really really suck at it and went to therapy and got a lot better but I still don't do it when I can avoid it.

[fluff]

I don't mind the dentist as long as they aren't putting gauze in my mouth. I can handle the needle and even the drill, but gauze in my mouth causes me anxiety. lol

I have a fear of bees and wasps, roaches, spiders...pretty much any bug I guess.

I started crying as soon as I walked in the place, I was that terrified. I had a tooth pulled so that's what the vicodin is for.

I fear the dentist too.
I also have a really strange fear of coy fish. Like the giant gross ones the have in ponds at the zoo. There are always a million of them swimming all on top of each other all slimey and gross. I have had nightmares about falling into a pond and them all swarming all over me and I drown under a huge, gross pile of gross slimey fish. *shivers*

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

I am afraid of worms. They are gross, and I will goosestep across the sidewalk after it rains because that shit is nasty and the thought of getting guts on my shoe makes me barf.
I am super drunk, have been for hours, and thought I should come here.

I'm afraid of lady bugs and butterflies.

Also hugest is not a word, right?

I have a shit-ton of moles all over my body - not huge, gross ones but just mostly small ones that look like big freckles, in addition to my constellations of freckles. And I'm afraid of getting skin cancer. I'm a bit prone since my dad has had pre-cancerous crap removed from his face, and we share the same complexion. I'm starting to really eyeball the couple of not-exactly-symmetrical moles I have.

PLEASE go get them checked. It is so much worse if you don't catch it in time. I have a bunch of moles too and have had a few biopsied. I need to make an appointment myself since it has been a couple of years.

Ditto PP about the moles. I had melanoma when I was 14. It was caught extremely early and only a stage 1, so it wasn't a huge deal. I have had several moles removed since then-it's very easy and all of my scars are very faded over time. Better to have it removed and be safe than sorry!

[druidp]

Thanks, ladies - I believe I will. Better safe than sorry!

I LOOOVE going to the dentist. MH thinks i'm a freak.

I have a fear of flying. I love to travel, so it sucks. While I was pregnant, I had an anxiety attack on the plane ride to Vegas. I felt like I was going to die.

What the hell did you do in Vegas while you were pregnant? The only good thing about Vegas is cheap/free drinks.

[Deleted]

Just because you are knocked up doesn't mean you can't knock a few back in Vegas. When in Rome...

I have a fear of flying too. The last time I flew, I had to take a Xanax.

Sweat my tits off! I tell everyone I hated Vegas, but it was in June, hotter than balls, 22 weeks pregnant, couldn't drink, smoke everywhere. Ugh. We went for my BIL wedding.

That sounds like a nightmare.

Not exactly how I wanted my first Vegas experience to be like, but we stayed in a nice hotel, ate lots of yummy food and the wedding was beautiful.
