I'm most afraid of bleeding to death. i have a minor condition called syncope in which I'm likely to pass out upon dehydration, blood pressure changes, and apparently burning. as a kid i played rather hard and on many occasions wound up cut and scraped up, which never bothered me. i have a high tolerance for pain, and blood doesn't scare me in any way. i love the saw movies and gore in no way bothers me, but so far, iv passed out three times from blood loss. two of these i had a fairly deep cut and literally bled to unconsciousness and once was during a large blood drawing (like 6 samples or so). problem is, im still partially aware, i can remember these periods of unconsciousness. they're the scariest things iv ever experienced. heights, drowning, spiders, clowns, snakes, etc. don't bother me any more than the calm decision that they could be harmful to my health, this is the only situation where serious paralyzing panic has ever truly gripped me.
look up the title. i found it trying to find a name for my fear, and it was necessary.
