These are the images that I chose, as things that I fearand represent certain aspects of fear for me:

I chose the image of the straight jacket because it symbolizes the inability to move freely and a loss of control over my body. I panic when I do not have full control or the ability to move. I am uncomfortable in small spaces, even something like being stuck in an elevator causes that panicking fear to arise. I think that this is an irrational fear, since it isn't physical pain or any tangible reason that makes me panic, I just do.
I also have an extreme phobia of snakes and frogs. Even by looking at this picture I feel creeped out and insecure.
The third aspect of fear for me, is worry. When things are not going according to plan I often stress myself out by worrying. I think that worrying about the outcome of situations is a fear of disorder in life. If something goes wrong there are so many things in your life that can be disrupted and cause chaotic situations that you might not know how to deal with.

So the three aspects of fear that these images represent is irrational fear, phobia, and worry.
