Missbrum Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Bridges, especially ones with water underneath, if i'm alone I try and get as far away from the edge as I can and refuse to look over at the water. If i'm with somebody, I do the same, but also hold onto them, as if they'll keep me safe if it collapses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSparkle Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Originally posted by Angel05 My Mum has a similar thing where her problem is edges... if she is walking by an edge of water (river/canal) or a cliff she is drawn towards the edge... quite scary i think I've always had a problem with this, Angel. When I'm above any large body of water I can feel it trying to pull me in. Now I think about it, it really only happens with slowish-moving water like the sea or a big lake - doesn't seem to happen with fast-flowing rivers. It's like the water is literally trying to hypnotise me and drag me into it. Horrible. On one family holiday when I was a kid, we drove along the road by Loch Ness for a while, and I was transfixed by it. I couldn't tear my eyes away from it I found it so terrifying. It was so black and so deep I felt it wanted to pull me down into those depths. S**** the Loch Ness Monster, I was scared of the Loch!! Also as a small child, I had a phobia about my bedroom curtains. They were truly hideous, sort of green/grey with huge brown flowers Late at night if I couldn't sleep I'd find myself staring at them, and then I'd get the optical illusion that the flowers were moving towards me, intent on doing me some harm. Weird, and really scary. I'd hide my face under the blankets, then I'd be ok. I told my Dad about this quite recently, and he was horrified I'd been so scared of the curtains. Apparently Mum had spent ages choosing them for me, and she thought they were lovely!! StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSparkle Sounds exactly the same thing my Mum suffers from... glad it wasnt passed on as it sounds really scary... The only thing i was scared of in my room was the underneath of my bed... i had to jump onto my bed at night as i thought something would grab hold of my ankles an drag me under... i think most kiddies suffer from this... not nice... I hated going out of the living room having to go upstairs to the loo in the dim light... i used to run down stairs as fast as i could incase something came out of one of the bedrooms an started chasing me. What wild imaginations kids have huh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have a tattoo you can harldy see the needle, which is fine, but when you have to have an injection and they show you the needle I feel a bit ill.

feargal Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 My brother's girlfriend has to put her feet up on the chair when she sees any sharks on TV. In case of those nasty carpet sharks I suppose. Also, I have a friend who is scared of tin cans, and can't eat anything that has been in one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever films you see Angel, DON'T see Boogeyman! This plotline figures quite strongly! K x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be more common than you think; I remember the lovely Lorraine Kelly puting toys that moved in any way into Room 101! K x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
