I'm afraid of causing emotional harm to my husband or baby, making "wrong" decisions that are difficult to repair, that I don't have as many skills as I would like to have, of doing harmful things to my body, afraid of bending over at the hips, that I won't have friends.
Face value, these seem kind of silly writing them down, but I think I'm afraid of these things because if they did happen, I think there is a belief that I would ruin my relationships or my life and that that would mean that I personally failed at taking care of the people and the one life I had. I've noticed I usually attach fears to what it says about me, and I find some relief from trying to be neutral on what it means or attach it to something that isn't myself. I'm afraid of bending over at the hips because that's when the worst pain usually occurs...but not always.
