I'm scared of the doctor. And the dentist. And IVs. The problem is, that because of our lapse in insurance and my general laziness, I have not been to regular check-ups for a very embarrassingly long amount of time. Now that we have insurance, I know I just need to suck it up and make the needed appointments.
But, I feel alright, and if it's not broke...
Alas, I know I have to be a grown-up and just get over my fears, and that's just the problem, being a grown-up has not a lot to do with it. I have way more fears and phobias now, than I did when I was younger. That just sucks, when did I lose my cojones?
Oh, and the uh-ohs... they happen when I finally go to these appointments and find out that I have something wrong with me because I have not keep up with a good regime of check-ups.

Knowledge is the catalyst for fear. The more you know, the more you realize that mom and dad can’t protect you, bad things happen to good people, and sometimes life just happens. The older you get, the more you know, the easier it is to be scared. Cancer, aneurisms, doctor malpractices, and plain bad luck can strike at any moment. There’s no magic wand or fairy dust that can put you back together again, and when it’s over, it’s over.
Basically, it’s perfectly normal to have more fears as an adult. Good luck with that.
