    Right now I am most afraid of not being able to pay my rent and getting thrown out on the street. And, that is not just a fear, It might become a reality! That's very scarey.
    
    Next would be death by accident. It's usually a car cash that comes to mind. Choking, or dying in a fire or drowning. I am more worried about how everyone around me would react, other than my death itself. Or catching some incurable disease that kills quick...like in weeks or days.
    
    I am also afraid of large stingy insects. Bees and wasps make me especially nervous, as when I am stung by them, the sting area becomes swelled like a balloon. I also find large spiders very creepy, but know I can pretty much avoid them. I am very glad I do not live in an area with scorprions. I would never leave the house!
