The most traumatizing moment in your life

[Timotei]

None of us are pure. We have all experienced something that has traumatized and forever changed us. What would you say has traumatized you the most?

Mine happened around this time of year last year. My boyfriend Michel and I were taking a road trip to Florida to see his brother who would be coming back from his tour in Afghanistan.

We decided to stop for the night at a motel in Texas. We had just come back from dinner and were heading to our room when we witnessed the couple in the room next to us... well you know (through the curtains they forgot to close). We could hear them through the walls as they were made of 1/4 inch plywood. What made it especially traumatizing was that the lady was louder than an explosion and the man kept saying stupid things. I couldn't sleep that night, and the sound still haunts me to this day.

I killed a man..... with my thoughts.
There are some real ones i have but none are... funny most are serious.

When I was about 10 years old, I decided to have a friendly race with one of my pals. Being a conceited little tool, I was on foot and he on bicycle. We raced from the far end of the block to my house, I had a 5 second head-start. Surprisingly enough, I was winning, until I tripped just a house and a half away from the finish line. He then proceeded to run over me, as I laid on the ground. Keep in mind, he was at least a full house's distance from me, and had to go out of his way to run me over.

That's when I stopped trusting friends.

I heard my dad and his girlfriend having sex... fucking hate my life.

The only one that comes to mind is me and my Gf were having sex and my mom walked in and just nonchalantly tells us that she brought KFC home for dinner.

It in itself isn't traumatizing, it was just how she acted like she about us doing it. Made us paranoid that she could hear us through the walls >.<

Not that traumatizing but very embarassing atleast.

Seeing the birth of my son. Normaly that would be an awesome exprience, but since his mother has taken him away from me and I know I will probably never see him again except maybe in pictures, it's an event that keeps me up at night. Best day of my life. Been living in a nightmare ever since.

Just finding condoms in my dad's jacket sort of traumatized me.

Seriously though, nothing has really traumatized me.

I stopped trusting friends when one sent me 2 girls 1 cup.

I started trusting again when another sent me meatspin.

A few things. The most recent one being the End of Evangelion. Before that, I usually ended up traumatizing myself, with the things I drew and my reactions to the murders and car thefts I constantly hear on the news.
One thing that probably prevented me from trauma, was when my Grandpa died, my parents told me right out that he was dead and I would never see him again. I was 6.

I've never really had a traumatizing moment, being a slight sociopath helps though.

That movie raped my mind through my eyes and left it in a ditch to rot. I'm a pretty smart person, but not even I could understand it.

Seriously? How is that traumatizing? Annoying and a little gross, yes, but not traumatizing. You were old enough to have a boyfriend and a road trip alone with him meaning you had to be at least 16, probably older. And I wouldn't consider this traumatizing unless you were 11 or younger.

I had a heart attack when I was 17 on a hiking expedition. But that wasn't what I considered traumatic, I didn't finish the expedition. It was the first thing in my life that I didn't finish after I started.

Then there was the whole, your heart can't take the strain, no more training for 9 months, you can walk, no running, cycling, swimming, hiking, weight training, martial arts or anything it was horrible.

Of course that made me lose muscle mass, so I had skin start sagging off my arms and other parts of my body as everything I worked for just disappeared.

Depression ensued, failing my A-levels so I had to repeat them, then struggled to get into University.

Funny how something can change your life so abruptly. I consider it traumatic, because I've never gotten over it, before then I thought (subconsciously) I was indestructible, it brought me crashing back to Earth (going into some of my counseling realisations here haha)

Nearly died of a pill overdose when I was about.. 5, I think?
I became a diffrent person after that, I remember nothing of the before or why...

Nothing's really traumatized me, but the closest thing to a traumatizing event was when I was about 7 or 8 I think. Anyways, I'm in this one store (don't remember the name, Sears or something like that) and I'm walking along when suddenly I hear this loud THUD! I walk back about 5 feet with my dad and look over, and I see this really old lady on the ground with a pool of blood forming around her and her husband's frantically trying to grab something in her mouth. Turned out, she had a seizure and busted her head open, and her husband was trying to keep her from swallowing her tongue. Regardless, my parents called an ambulance to come pick her up, and they ran her out as quick as they could. I never really found out what happened to her though, she's probably dead by now.

It's between these two:

-School trip to Venice, saw one of my teachers wandering through the hotel wearing nothing but a pair of Speedos.

-Knocked on my flatmate's door, heard what sounded like "come in", so I did. There he was, dancing around naked in front of his webcam.

Thank you for forcing me to relive those memories. I'm off to bang my head on a wall for a bit.

It went on for what seemed like forever, and its hard to focus on anything else when the TV is broken.
