Out of all my mates etc I am the person who is the calm and laid back person who doesnt really worry or anything but there are two things that send me into panic attack mode.

1. Showrides. Ever since my sister was killed in a showride accident in 1997 when I was 6 I am scared shitless of the things. The most i'll go on is the dodgem cars. Anything else and I freeze up, panic, find it hard to breathe and find myself constantly staring at every little nut and bolt that holds the ride together as if expecting it to break.

2. Being a passenger in cars. After being in two roll overs as a passenger I hate being a passenger in any car especially 4wd's. I'll constantly watch the speedo and the road and basically crap myself although I am slowly getting over this fear. It's the fear of me not being in control that makes me panic. If I am driving I am fine as I am in control and i'll do anything but as a passenger HELL NO! So whenever we go anywhere I always do my best to be the driver.

No where near as bad as anyone here but they are the only times I get the feeling of a panic attack.
