Germs. Don’t like them and wash my hands or use sanitizer a lot.
And the big one...panic attacks. I don’t know why, but it started 44 years ago. Got so bad, I couldn’t leave home. Self medicated, but paid the price the next day. Now it’s a daily regimen of a few meds and it’s controlled for the past 35 years. Better living through pharmaceuticals.

Happened to my plumber. One day it just hit him at lunch. He froze and sat there and couldn't move in cold sweat. He's on some meds but I think he's off it now. Happened to my close friend I grew up with. I got a call one day and had to go get him. He stopped in the middle of the fwy and couldn't move sweating like if he just walked out of a shower with cloth on. Luck would have it, traffic was pretty heavy. He couldn't drive his car off to the shoulder. He got back in a couple weeks later and driving was not the same anymore. he ans I used to race down the canyons as kids and was a pretty good driver too. I noticed the death grip on the steering wheel and face full of sweat dripping down his nose when he crosses a bridge or drive up into the hills through those curvy roads. These are the very same roads we raised hell on when we were kids. Yep, Angeles Crest hwy, just right in our back yard. Doc wants to put him on drugs, but he refuses. He's a bit better now then 5 years ago. We are both 54 now. So this happened in his mid 40s also.
