As I already stated, one of my main fears is suffocation. I consider this a category including all types of dying that involve me losing the ability to breathe before death; for example, drowning or running out of air in a sealed room. In my mind, there's only one reason that I fear these types of death more than others. This is because if I die this way, it would mean that I have lost control over something that I do all the time. I assume that this fear of losing control also applies to the rest of my life, meaning that I attempt to be in control of my life in almost every aspect. This most specifically applies to school. Whenever something at school is happening that affects me, but I can't impact the outcome of it, I get extremely worried about it and it can impact the rest of my life negatively. This especially happens in group projects where different parts of the projects are assigned to different people. Because I can't control what the other people's aspects of the projects look like, I worry constantly until I get the grade for the project.
