The author of my new (second) favorite blog made a list of things she has anxiety over that she shouldn't. I started to feel that most every woman I know has the same problem and thought I would entertain the (masses) by detailing mine. So without incident here are items 1-3.
1. Teretts. And no disrespect to people who actually have it....But I am actually terrified that I will blurt out something horrible, distasteful and/or reprehensible at a moment not of my choosing. Like, for instance, I will say something weird and categorically untrue like, "oh yes, I know him. In the biblical sense." in front of the Mormons. Or asking a particularly decent looking client if he'd like me to take his shirt...err...coat! And then I will get fired. And have to hook to pay the bills. Hey, there ain't no rest for the wicked after all-thank you Elephant Cages or whatever your weird band name is for creating an environment where there is moral flexibility regarding employment choice.
2. Burning the house down. I am not sure when or why this fear developed but I have a borderline A&E style obsession with checking the stove burners, the hair straightener, and the dryer for signs of flame. Before I leave the house I sometimes check it 3-4 times. It's ridic.
3. A plane crashing into my house.
All of these scenarios are highly improbable. I think they make medication for this kind of thing.
