And the shoes matter! Even if it is a short slope, I just know it is not even ground and I have to look for another way or something to hold. <BR/><BR/>I also am not a fan of driving on hills. Especially in a stick shift car. Big fear!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103993586753057004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-44613425469936284132008-09-11T12:36:00.000-07:002008-09-11T12:36:00.000-07:00I always thought that going through infertility tr...I always thought that going through infertility treatments was hell.<BR/><BR/>But you make a very compelling argument here.

I have a phobia of being trapped in small spaces.I don't think it clostraphobic because I can be in a small space as long as I feel I can just open the door but if someone were to hold it shut my whole body screams and I break down trying to get out! It's scary! Also, where did you go? I would love to go there.Packer Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352871176815052366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-20433596719310598562008-09-08T15:33:00.000-07:002008-09-08T15:33:00.000-07:00You know, my phobia is steep hills too.

I lose my sense of balance and I have to get myself on the ground... then to complicate things, I have this incredible impulse to just throw myself off to just get it over with. Ask my husband about it. It's very real. Scary - but, I don't tell my kids about it, I just squeeze my husband's hands and make it through so they don't adopt my fears. That's something I would never wish upon them.sariqdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902376196124508459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-59374716818315500082008-09-08T15:06:00.000-07:002008-09-08T15:06:00.000-07:00You would not like San Fransisco either.

It took a lot of courage for me to force myself to drive up them and I was praying the whole time that I would not end up rolling back down them backwards.Awesome Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523320907836876707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-91533734246530941782008-09-08T14:43:00.000-07:002008-09-08T14:43:00.000-07:00Personal hell is awful, isn't it?

It's not so bad when it's less than ten, but any more than that, and I'm frozen to the ground. I'm afraid that my feet will somehow slip through the opening and shoes that can easily slip off make it even more scary! <BR/><BR/>Once, on a family trip, we went to see the Cape Hatteras light house. It's full of spiral, open backed stairs. I couldn't do it! I made it not even 1/4 of the way up, then went back down and stayed at the bottom.
