Fears, phobias & idiocyncricies....

 I have an extreme fear of railroad tracks.  When I see the red lights at the crossing start to flash & the gates come down, I literally start shaking.  I was driving on a road that runs parallel to the train tracks this afternoon when I heard the train whistle blow and before I knew it, the train was rumbling by me and I was freaking out.  The old trains that have only a few cars with the caboose & the stupid bell that rings I especially hate.  As for phobias,claustraphobia prevails, especially in elevators. Eating in front of people is another big one although I've gotten better. I had major food & eating issues in the past.  In high school & my first 2 years of college I was anorexic, literally a walking skeleton although I couldn't see it at the time.  I'm happy to say those days are behind me.  Next we have public restrooms.  I don't use them unless absolutely necessary.  Not really due to the cleanliness of the facilities but because of having what they call a "shy bladder".  I'm weird, what else can I say?  Finally, I have a paralyzing fear of being in a car/vehicle which was compounded by being in an accident due to some asshole who was going too fast in his pickup truck in a major snowstorm driving too close behind, rear ending me sending me into a spinout into a huge ditch that was so steep my truck flipped trapping me until some wonderful firefighters came & rescued me.  Whew, that was a run-on sentence! I don't get as nervous if I'm driving but I feel out of control when someone else is behind the wheel.  People who tailgate especially when traffic is backed up & not moving, don't use signals & turn in front of you with no room to spare make my blood boil. Not that I'm perfect but geez, use some common sense! Those are my biggest fears, phobias & idiocyncricies.  Anyone else wish to share theirs?
