Samira Daukoru | 4 comments The kind of fear that you feel very few people would share. I would love to know. For example, I used to have a fear of exploding in a public place.

Randy Harmelink | 1639 comments Not being able to differentiate between reality and hallucinations.

When my kidneys failed in 2007, I was put into a medically induced coma for several weeks. It took me several weeks for my thinking to get back to normal.

When the nurse would empty my urinal in the bathroom, I'd hear this huge explosion of noise (i.e. flushing). I was convinced they were opening up a gate to Hell in that room.

J. Gowin I sometimes get the feeling that I actually died long ago. After my death, I was damned and my punishment in Hell is reliving my time at my current employer over and over for all of eternity. At the end of each cycle, as the heart attack drops me to the concrete, the HR manager walks up and says, "Remember". At that point, I realize that he's the Devil and I did screaming. The next moment I'm back in his office interviewing for my job.

Deja vu can have a chilling sensation for me.

Well, that will do it!


message 9: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan It's that whole thing that you are simply paralysed, and the spider sticks a tube into your gut, and flushes you with digestive fluids. You then dissolve from the inside out. I don't doubt that it's already sucking the soup of your innards out, while your brain - at one end of your body distant from the tube is registering everything that is happening before everything goes black...

You are paralysed but not anaesthetised...

It's right up there with being paralysed by a wasp, dragged into her lair and left alive with her brood attached to you as their living first meal - once they hatch.

This from the creative mind of an author! 😁 Sounds like the beginning of a short story......just saying. 😆

Marie | 3995 comments I myself have an interesting fear which does stim from an interesting episode - though for that fear to actually happen would probably never happen now! :)

In my younger days I went with a friend on one of those upside down roller coasters down here in Florida (I kept my eyes closed the entire time) - lol - but I will never go on one of those again as it came to a stop midway on the upside down section for just a few seconds before moving on. I wasn't sure if it was suppose to do that or if it really had stopped, but we were all hanging upside down for a bit. Also that roller coaster was 150 feet in the air. So nope - never again!

It is a good thing the horror movie "Final Destination 3" hadn't come out yet with the roller coaster or I would have never gone on there! LOL

I have that, too, plus a similar one - whenever I turn the stove top on I have a fear that I'm gonna stick my hand in the blue flames. It's so random!


message 27: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (mcnurdy) Heights, I freeze like a statue. And the bummer is I used to love to climb trees with my brother growing up. Then one day he fell off a huge limb right in front of me and that is when it happened. I watched him fall 25 feet and not move for a couple of minutes. Couldn't get down to help him and ever since can't get higher than 10 feet without freezing.

I have a fear of heights also, and I used to climb trees when I was a child but never fell or saw someone fall.
By the time I was a adult I couldn't get near the edge of a cliff, or riding in a gondola or even a ferris wheel, I get so scared that I will fall out. I got crazy looks from people when I was in a gondola in the Grand Tetons when I sat on the floor of it so I couldn't see how high we were.


message 29: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (mcnurdy) I understand completely!!!! Went to 6 Flags over Texas with friends one summer and they all wanted to go up in this space needle type thing. I told them I'd wait on the ground but they, and my ex-husband, insisted I go. All three honestly did not think I could be that scared. I will always remember it because it did terrify me even though I hugged the part farthest from the edge. Probably the only sane thought I had up there was how I was going to get a divorce on Monday. :-)

Yes! I hate heights, it always makes me panic.
