Are You Afraid of the Dark? Bugs? Heights? Planes? All of the Above?

The wind keeps howling outside, and I’m about to turn the light off. This is one of the only times that I wish that the kids or Haji were in here with me. It sucks that I am afraid of the dark. It’s such a debilitating phobia. I think it might be due to my active imagination, watching too many horror films as a child, and/or that once my parents forgot me in the dark apartment when there was a fire next door. Whatever it is, I hate it.
Now that I think about it, I am way too afraid about too many things: the dark, heights, bugs, and planes.
I hate heights as well. If I am driving over a bridge, I have to grasp the wheel with both hands while clutching my teeth until I am safely on the other side. Even when I am at sporting events, I have to hold my breath if I am in the nosebleed seats, when I stand up.
Bugs have never been my repertoire. I am so glad that I have a son who protects me. He will kill any bug that comes near me. Isabelle also has this crazy fear of insects, so is it hereditary? I think it was one time when my younger sis was watching them. She is afraid of spiders. She freaked out so bad when she found out there was a spider on her seat that she almost crashed me car and scared my daughter to a phobia.
I’m excited to be going to LA for a week and a half in January, but I am also afraid to get on the planes. Planes never scared me until 9/11. I know it sounds silly, but now I am super afraid to get on a plane. It also could be that is when I first saw “Final Destination.” Hmmmm…
How do I get rid of these fears? I don’t know. I sometimes think that I should find a Hypnotist to see if he/she can hypnotize me to not fear these things. The only thing to fear is fear itself, and I need to find a way to deal with these fears.
