What unfounded paranoia cripples you the most?

I'm convinced that I'm going lose an eye to an accident someday. If anything gets too close to my face I can turn absolutely livid and terrified in an instant. My cats jumping onto the couch beside my head is especially disturbing. I don't look cats in the eyes because I've met two that were curious about eye contact and tried to reach their paws up to touch my eyes or lean their nose in to smell it when I maintained eye contact with them. I'm afraid they will make a lunge for my eyes if we make extended eye contact.

One day I dropped a glass and a wide V shape chipped out of the rim, I can't throw it away because my brain keeps telling me to drink from it, that that's how I'm supposed to accidently lose my eye.
