Sarah and Sila, I've had the knife one too. My movies definitely got worse after I had my older son, post-partum. I was chopping veggies about a foot or so away from my toddler son in his high chair and had a movie that my hand slipped and I stabbed him. I made myself move another foot away from him. A lot of my movies involve my car or other vehicles-- crashing my car, stepping in front of a bus that suddenly pulled away from the curb, lots and lots of bridge ones. I have a few movies with flying. Mostly for takeoff. I have a lot of anxiety for takeoff, then I'm able to relax more once we level off.

We've vacationed in the Outer Banks, NC, ('02) and the Florida Keys ('05) and they both have some VERY long bridges to get out to the islands. I think I was driving in the Keys and had to pull over so my husband could drive over the next long bridge. I was terrified.

My heart races too. Mini (full?) panic attacks. At the worst, I was probably having a dozen a day. Now, maybe once a week or less. But thankfully I don't have to drive over bridges on a regular basis.

I have some generic Xanax (??) that my doctor prescribed when I need immediate help with my anxiety. That seems to help.

Thank you both for helping me understand even more about myself!
