When I was 17 and got caught by a rip tide on holiday in Italy and spent what felt like an eternity trying to take a breath when my face broke water. I really thought that was it.
Thankfully friend witnessed it and raised the alarm, I’ve not been back in the sea since |

When my Mum phoned to tell me the hospital weren't giving her any updates on my Dad's operation... she's still a registered nurse and was starting to think the worst... she was terrified of telling us, which made me scared... I eventually drove through at 11pm to demand some answers... they had only just managed to rouse him from an epidural... had they told my Mum that was the issue, there would've been no fear in the 1st place.... |

Too many things!
I think in my top 10 was when a friend and I were surrounded on a beach at night by a group of men.
I thought we were going to be r*ped and murdered. |

When my wife passed away. I had an 8 year old son to raise and we lived in Australia, I never felt so alone, isolated and scared in all my life. He’s 16 now and lately I’ve been thinking back to that time, it was hard - I was a workaholic, liked a drink and truthfully I was selfish. The whole experience made me a better man and my son makes me proud every day, I know his mum would have been proud of both of us. |

When my 9lb 11oz baby got stuck on the way out. A midwife pushed the red button and in the blink of an eye there were around 10 doctors in the room. My husband was asked to move out of the way and I heard them talking about pushing him back up and c section, or dislocating his shoulder! They weren't telling me what was going on though, thankfully I had a huge contraction and with me pushing and them pulling he was born, both of us in one piece.

When my eldest ch*ked on a stone he’d found in the garden when be was a toddler, his lips had started to turn blue. But my mum picked him, turned him upside down and slapped his back (very hard!) until it dislodged and he coughed it out.
Also when my youngest had an allergic reaction to peanut butter and his face swelled up and he had trouble breathing. He now carries an Epi Pen. |

About 15 years ago I had an opportunity to go to Nassau for a wedding, my girlfriend at the time was maid of honour. She also enjoyed the white powder and while we wee there got chatting to a janitor at the hotel who said he could get some. I went with him to a shanty town where he lived. We had a few beers and smoked some . I then started to get a bit concerned sticking out slightly as a skinny white bloke in beach gear and flip flops in the middle of this shanty town. After 2 hours some more guys joined us and we went off to a luxury SUV being driven by one of them - who to be fair didn't look like he could afford the fuel for it let alone anything else. So 5 locals and me set off I this vehicle to buy drugs! I was half pissed and slightly stoned, very paranoid and imagining where my body would be found and in what state.
I ended up jumping out of the car at traffic lights, running to a bar and asking someone to call me a cab. That was the last time I ever went to buy drugs and also not long before I split with the girl. |

Mine, although it seems quite childish was literally the most scared I've ever been...
I was feeding my crotch fruit around midnight after watching a scary movie, I tended not to turn the lights on to keep everyone in a sleepy state.
I turn around and what I believed to be someone hunched up on the bed in the corner of the room sat staring at me! 
I reacted the way people do in the films, could not catch my breath and froze dead still, unable to move. I was what is known as petrified!!!!
Turns out it was a giant teddy that had been placed there earlier that day  |

My mum had hernia for years and one day it really hurt but she didn’t want go to hospital.. I was terrified as I didn’t know what’s happening and I begged her to go. Later on it turned out if she would have waited she could die as she already had parts of hernia blue and she had a bit of blood poisoning etc
2 month ago one of my closest friends had cardiac arrest and he was in coma for 3 days. It was very stressful time as only 10% lives after this happens and 8% are heavily disabled after this. It’s been very stressful time but he is lucky one and all is good now. |

Sorry I'm confused which forum I am on. My fellow running buddies will understand the term 
Crotchfruit = child
Feeding = giving nutrition through my mammory glands |

I was climbing with a guy I hadn’t been out with before and didn’t realise how sloppy his belay technique was.
I was 70ft up when I popped off the crux and fell 50ft before he caught the fall!!
I can remember the ground rushing up towards me and thinking, “ this is it”!!!
I expect to be a busted up mess at the very least.

Sitting at my husband’s bedside in hospital having just been asked if we’d discussed how he wished to end his days. I was 37 and our son was 8. I was utterly terrified yet strangely calm at the same time. J. |

Oddly enough not the times when my life has been at very real risk from people who are intent on killing you.
The scariest time in my life was when my ex checked out of a marriage and family I thought was happy. My life, my future and that of my kids pulled from beneath me. A bright and happy future stolen, just a vat of dispare and uncertainty. Worried sick what would happen to my kids future and oddly for my ex too. I felt just physically sick with worry about not seeing my kids every day. I was racked with fear, it was a dark time. Everything I'd worked for destroyed without a vision of a happy path I could navigate for me and the kids.
(Luckily a happy ending. The kids stayed with me. I navigated a new road, rebuilt my life materially, mentally and spiritually. And met the woman who I am convinced was made for me) |

Out on my bike, riding up hill on quite a narrow road and a transit van coming down the road lost control on a bend. I had nowhere to go and there was a transit van rolling down the road at about 40mph towards me. Missed me by inches. Yeah that one was scary. Think I was more shaken than the driver who was also uninjured.

When my son was about 3 he was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy, he was in and out of hospital as it wasn’t able to be controlled. As an option we were presented with brain surgery to stop the seizure activity. We agreed and 2 months before he was 5 he went in for brain surgery, apparently it was supposed up be a 6 hour operation, so we were ready to go to recovery but time went ticking past. It ended up being 9 hours and nobody was telling is anything. Thankfully the operation eventually worked. X |

The most scary I can talk about publicly was just after my son was born.
The short version, he wasn't gaining weight and they were accusing me of not feeding him which destroyed me...then after all kinds of checks, breastfeeding consultants etc, we got so lucky and had a random locum at hospital who diagnosed a rare condition he didn't even have the main symptoms of.
So at under 1 month old he had to have life saving surgery, and that first time seeing him in the incubator with all the wires was terrifying....tearing up now remembering it!
Thankfully it all went well and he's 18 in a couple of weeks  |

I think mine was being with Mum when she died. Stupid me still had hope of a miracle, but when I heard Mum's death rattle I felt so scared, helpless, small. When it comes down to it you realise anything we think we control in our life is temporary... its the laws of physics, biology and chemistry that are in charge. |
