Non-CPTSD fears for me include the fear of heights, thunderstorms and the dark.
CPTSD related (on a scale of general uneasiness to very strong fear, depending on the day): crowds, people being behind me, driving to a place I've never been to before, walking into an unfamiliar building, social events.
PTSD related: ambulances with lights on and tv shows/movies with ER Room scenes.
Also - I have this strange fear of seeing anything related to eye surgery on TV. I cringe and have to leave the room or change the channel.
