Irrational

Every time I get into the lift at work I'm convinced that I will drop my security pass and car keys down the gap at the front of the lift. Even when they are both in my handbag, I still have to feel around so that I am holding on to them in case I drop them.

I always scuttle right to the back of the lift, but even so, I can't let go of them until I am safely at my desk or at my car. It probably doesn't help that it is a two lift trip from the carpark to my desk.

Help me feel like I'm not completely nuts - tell me your irrational fears.

I have an intense fear of elevators.

It doesn't matter if the elevator doors just opened, or even if someone is holding the "Door Open" button -- I fear that the doors will shut on my arms or legs.

I hate drains in pools and shower stalls, though pool drains are the worse of the two. It gives me the heebies to step on them.

1)The fear of growing up!!

2) The fear of not achieving my goals even after I has achieved them. Meaning I have not reason to think I would fail based on past results, but I still fear that I'm going to miss the mark.

Actually, we´re all nuts, and it´s ok! :-)

I have that same fear sometimes. A similar one is when I´m in a theatre on a blacony very hight up and close to the ceiling, and the seats are kinda sloping down, do u know what I mean? I feel like I+m gonna loose track of what´s up and down and will fall right over...
