What is your worst fear in life?

[Misanthropical]

My worst fear besides losing my family is being homeless. I have been hungry before so I don't fear that as much as much as I do as being homeless.

So, what is your worst fear?

[morgana]

Alzheimer's.

It's hard to say what my worst fear in life is, but I can say what my only true phobia is: bees. They scare the living crap out of me. And it IS a phobia, not a healthy respect for them, as I am not allergic to them and they don't really seek me out, as I've only ever been stung once in my life, when I was 9. But for whatever reason, as much as I am pretty much fearless with everything else out there, I see a bee, I run screaming like a little girl to the other side of the bar.

Probably my worst life fear is loved ones dying. I've experienced too much of it, and it never gets easier. Oddly, I have no fear for my own death, merely worry about what it would do to those who love me.

Cancer. If (almost a when at this point) I'm diagnosed with it I can almost guarentee any radiotherapy, chemotherapy or most others will kill me faster or will not work on me. I've seen it many times in my close relatives. Come to think of it I don't think anyone in my family that has been diagnosed with cancer won that battle as they all died from it, awfully and painfully. Their hospice care was impeccable though.

I really don't think my mum would like my decisions if I'm ever diagnosed and it's not a surgery treatment only.

I'm going to go with Alzheimer's, particularly as I watch my mother's mental processes deteriorate, leaving only the worst aspects of her personality.

That is a phobia, not a worst fear, silly I have plenty of those too but Mr. Mis knows that there is damage to his wife and helps me deal with them when they come up, they are: slithering things (snakes, snails, slugs, etc) any sort of bug, crowds, strangers touching me, being strapped down (thanks, Doc, you JERK)

I'd have to say that mine is losing my husband and children,.

[chrislb]

Dying alone with no one to mourn me.
That has been my greatest fear ever.
I know that I will die from either cancer or a heart attack or a combo of both because that has killed pretty much every male in my family.

My greatest fears:


Death. I've gone through losing loved ones and friends and colleagues but the fear of knowing that one day I would die is just fucking scary. I just hope that if I die I won't be alone and also that I won't die at a young age and the same goes with loved ones.


Suffocation


Drowning


Losing my independence. I hate depending on other people to do things for me. I like things done when I want and how I want.

#1 is losing Khan, whether he died or went missing. I think I might just kill myself if that happened.

#2 is losing the Husband, though I wouldn't kill myself since Khan would need me.

Compared to those two possibilities, nothing else matters. Anything else we can get through as long as we are together.

Although I do have a crippling terror of centipedes.

[Mytical]

What I am going through now. Being trapped in my own body as it deteriorates, helpless to prevent it, and becoming more and more a burden on the people around me.

[Andara Bledin]

The act of dying.

Not death; I have no fear of being dead.

But there's a lot of messiness and loss of control that goes with the act that frightens me on a primitive level.

^-.-^

I have a fear of abandonment. It may be slightly irrational...but I fear being alone and without friends or without any type of support network.

[Jester]

That is a phobia, not a worst fear, silly.

True, and I said as much. I acknowledge it was a phobia more than a worst fear. I even said my worst non-phobia fear. But I dare say my phobia is stronger than any fear I have, even my worst life fear. It is honestly the only thing that ever short-circuits my brain and terrifies me.

Something happening to either one or both of my boys. Loss of a spouse I think I could deal with. That will happen eventually anyway since he is 14 years older than I am. I am pretty good at dealing with death of those who are on the other half of their life spans, even those close to me. Death is a part of life and I have already dealt with it on a near-parental level.

But when it comes to my babies...I think I would not come back from that. I am NOT supposed to outlive my kids.
