Hellobee Boards

Yes. In college I went tubing and the water was unseasonably high. We went over some rapids and I flipped out of my tube and got sucked under the water by the strong undercurrent. I refuse to go tubing/rafting/or anything similar. It was scary!

I'm scared to ever give birth again

I'm scared of big waves in the ocean. I was boogie boarding and flipped off the board and every time I tried to stand up, another wave knocked me down. One wave knocked me down then dragged me back along the sandy/rocky bottom. My BF at the time finally pulled me out, but I have a big scar on my stomach/hip from being dragged. Never. Again.

I was in a car accident last year and now I'm incredibly tense whenever I have to change lanes.

I was in a car accident as a passenger once. It could've been really bad because the car actually drove into a glass store front. Luckily, I only sprained an ankle. Maybe this is why I'm always nervous being a passenger.

@mrbee: oh my goodness, that's scary!

I think childbirth is something I'm definitely pretty scared of doing again. I also jumped off a cliff once into water (not crazy high) and even though I was totally fine it terrified me. Never again!

@rachiecakes: Similarly, I went to the dentist to have some fillings after I had my baby, since she totally wrecked my teeth. I'd had a couple before, and had never been afraid of the needle, but this time when they put in the freezing they hit the nerve, and it was seriously the worst pain I'd ever felt. I had to go back the following week to do the other side and I was shaking and sweating and almost in tears.

@lawbee11: I had a very similar experience tubing. I was with a bunch of college friends and all of our tubes were tied together with rope. The water was high, I flipped and the rope got caught behind my knees and trapped me under the water. Luckily a friend had a knife and cut the rope pretty quickly or I would have drowned. I still have scars behind my knees from the rope cutting into them. I'll never go tubing again!

I was in a car accident as a teenager and I didn't get in to drive a car for just over a year after it happened.

I also got bit by a dog I knew and now I'm really scared of dogs. I can still be around them but I'm super tense until the comfort level is there.

@babycanuck I got stung by a jellyfish once and my brother was more excited about peeing on the burn than actually helping me get to a medical station (he was 9 at the time...boys)

@Mamadee: LOL not at you being stung but at him really wanting to pee on it!

@Mamadee: Apparently it's the acidity on it, that's why resorts will clean it with vinegar. urine...vinegar...lol

Hubs joked about peeing on mine until he got stung way worse the next day!

I got bit by a poodle once. Now I can't stand to see them when I'm out walking. An effing POODLE. Jerk dog.

Yep, I won't go sledding.

@Mrs. Taco: i'm so sorry, i can't even image.

i can't have anyone put their hands on my neck/upper shoulders from behind & i can't have anything block nose/mouth. i also can't have anything up my nose- like nasal spray.

I am pretty horrified of gynaecologists. Like, sweating, crying, shaking scared... Sigh.

@babycanuck: pretty much.

@mediagirl: well, for the record, seaweed is super icky and gross and scary.

I got trapped in a walk in freezer at school when I was 7. I was pretty claustrophobic for a while after that... I didn't even want to go into the school bathroom alone because I was afraid I'd get trapped in there.
