The most traumatizing moment in your life

Finding links to Redtube in my dad's internet history.

What's shocking about this is that the only people that use my dad's computer are me, my dad and my little sister. And I don't go on Redtube.

Well, not really traumatizing for me, just more life changing.

Like eight or some odd years ago, my family moved to Florida. Where I used to live, I was pretty popular and everybody there was nice to everyone else. Then I got to Florida, I didn't know anyone and it was the middle of the school year. I think it was fourth grade, might have been fifth... Anyway, I didn't know anyone and was pretty much constantly picked on. Over the course of that year, I made a close circle of three friends. Because of that, I tend to just keep a circle of close-knit friends, and I'm anti-social or just a dick to people outside of that circle. Which has caused problems recently, as now that I'm in high school, there, surprisingly, aren't any bullies, but I still feel paranoid that they're just trying to trick me, so I tend to act like an idiot.

What pissed me off the most recently, though, was that I saw one of the ass hole bullies again recently. He had his friend come over and ask,"Do you remember Jeffrey Bassel?" I sheepishly said no, while my mind was screaming,"Of course I fucking remember that ****!" "Well," douche-bag friend guy says,"He told me to tell you that you're an asshole." I wanted to go over there and bunch him in his face. I mean, fuck, I can STILL remember that Jeff's own friends called HIM an ass hole with there own little rhyme.

How fucked up would it be if it was your little sister :S Ew... Anyways, I've had similar experiences, but they didn't really leave a scar on me. I dismiss them as the everyday shit.

It's fairly messed up either way, and I'm not gonna ask who it is.

Oh, and I've also ended up hearing my little sister's halloween party sleep over conversation one night whilst trying to sleep in the room next door. I'm not even going to bother saying what was mentioned then.

Now I understand why some people are escapists.

I guess the closest I've ever come to 'traumatized' was when I started choking at lunch in seventh grade. I remembered my mother had related a story to mee a few weeks prior about how she had nearly choked on something, and pounded on the wall until she got her sister's attention and was saved. I tried the same, and only got weird looks from kids that walked past. That seemed traumatic at the time, because, 'HELLO, I CAN'T FUCKING BREATHE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE WHY ARE YOU WALKING AWAY?!?' It wasn't until I was turning blue and on the verge of passing out that someone finally figured out all was not well and summoned help.

Needless to say I eat very carefully nowadays.

How does it feel to choke, because its never happened to me?

To actually, honestly, not-breathing choke? For the first several seconds all I could feel was the piece of food lodged in my throat, which felt weird but didn't exactly hurt--then panicked at the realizing I couldn't breathe and was making no noise despite my efforts, then my mouth and chest started to burn. I remember hearing the principal yell, and then I felt like I was puking--he was Heimliching me over the trashcan. So in summary? At first, it's, 'Well damn, that's annoying why can't I swalow this or cough it up?' then: 'Holy fuck, can't cough can't breathe can't breathe stay calm CAN'T BREATHE NEED HELP OH GOD THESE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING ME DIE WHY ARE THEY DOING NOTHING?!?' And then fuzziness and then puking. That--in my experience--is what it feels like to choke.

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

That happened to me 2 years ago...I became suicidal. just kidding not really but that freaked the shit out of me

...Nnnnaaaah.
That's depressing.
And sharing something like that would cause people to see me in a different light, which I will not tolerate.

Suffice it to say the first time around, I was traumatized.
The second time something horrible happened, I was traumatized in a completely different fashion.

Now I'm dead inside!
Hooray!

You don't tolerate people in the first place...

Oh no, your dad (85% chance it's your dad I'd say) probably looks at porn -_- . Really, who cares? You didn't walk in on him masturbating to it and he's not in the porn.

I've never had the misfortune to choke but two of the worst moments were...1.) I was young and at a pool down in New Jersey at Seaside Heights (not sure if anyone is familiar with that area) and I almost drowned...SCARY AS FUCKING HELL! and 2.) A few years ago at a Halloween party my friend and I were playing football with some neighbors when I got tackled and I couldn't breathe at all...no coughing, no gasping, no NOTHING...I finally laid down on the ground flat and started to breathe again, but by then I was in tears because I was so scared...I cried before I went to sleep before that because I was so freaked out...now I'm not so bugged but it was still really really creepy...

A traumatising thing that did happen to me was that I had gone down to my local subway, had bought two sub-sandwiches for my brother and me, and two drinks, and was heading back to my house, being only a few streets away from it, when I saw two rather disrespectable tall, late teenaged boys, one putting a bandanna over his mouth. A warning light flashed in my head, but my hands were full and I was hoping they'd walk past like everyone else does. Of course, once near, they flung me to the ground, spilling the remaining drink (I'd had the first one earlier) all over. They let me get up, then searched my pockets, all the while babbling about me doing something to their "cousin" (a load of bollocks of course as I was far too weedy to attempt to bother anyone, as proven) getting some shitty change for their efforts, and no phone (I'd luckily decided not to bring it). As a final parting grace, the bandanna-clad one snatched one of the subway sandwiches (which turned out to be mine as well).
run through me if I walk past someone who looked particularly likely and able to strike.

Oh man, I've had my subway robbed from me too. I was about 12 and these three guys surrounded me as I was walking to the train station, trying to freak me out (late at night), and I was freaked out. They asked me what was in my subway roll, and I told them, then they took it and ran away. I was so confused, I went and got stoned for the first time bahaha....

The only traumatising thing I can think of off the top of my head though is sleeping in the same room as my cousin, and having to pretend to be asleep while he spent a good hour noisily masturbating nearby. Actually that happened with another friend of mine who later turned out to be gay, so that's creepy in another way :S

I'm used to be bullied and picked on from beginning of 4 grade to the end of 6 grade. I think i called in sick more than half of all schooldays. It was sort of fine in grade 7 cause i barely met the people that used to bullie me but i got placed in the same class as my best friend and cousin. Then in grade 8 he got back together with a former friend of mine.

We used to be friends until he decided that the best way to have some fun together with my cousin was to humiliate me. Example: they are athletic and they decided that we should play a Swedish variant of baseball with them hitting the ball and me trying to catch, alone. I live about 3-4 miles away so i couldn't go home either.

Anyway, that friend and a another former friend of mine that i got basically the same history with got together with my cousin and they decied that the best way to become friends with my cousin was to humiliate me. The only time i got a break was when they picked on another kid that followed us around simply because we were the ones that picked the least on him. But whatever i said or did someone would try to make a snarky comment about it or they'd try to make everyone around laugh at me, you get the picture. They also decided at times to ignore me completely. One of those times they decided to start kicking me as well. The worst thing about this was that everyone joined in on it. People i've never met before and my cousin/best friend.

The crescendo was reached the time i decided that my eyebrows looked stupid. They'd been telling me for a long time. So i decied to shave them down, but it just looked weird. The following day at school i got called ****** non stop by them. At breaks we used to go home to my cousin and play games on his computer. This time they ran ahead of me and when i got to the house the door was locked and they had put up a sign on the door saying: Faggots not welcome. Until this point they had always let me be with them and this felt like they decided that they wouldn't even let me do that anymore. I couldn't have found any other friends either.

I felt physically sick and to this day i still wonder why i didn't put my dads hunting rifle between my teeth and end it all because i felt that i had really good reasons for it. Partly because i felt that my life was over and partly because i felt that that was the only way i could get back at them. I was apathic for several days though.

Hopefully someone will read this massive text but even if you don't it still felt therapeutic writing it because i've never told anyone about his ever. I even refused to tell my psychiatrist about it. If you did read i believe a thanks is in order, Thank You.

In year 7 I was being bullied by a boy in my class who shoved me around and would grab my arm and squeeze hard every time he walked past me. I told the teachers every time it happened in class and usually they would move him to the other side of the room or send him out but there was one teacher who had decided that he was doing it because he liked me and forced me to sit beside him at the front of the classroom. This went on for quite a while and I got quite good at avoiding him until one day when we were queing outside a classroom and the teacher sent him to the back of the line where I was. I have never been particularly good at hiding my contempt for people like him and he must have lost his temper because he grabbed me by the throat and shoved me against the wall. I know I grabbed his thumb and tried to get him off me (remaining fairly calm all things considered) but I think what actually stopped him was everyone beginning to move into the classroom. Until that point I had thought of him as just another bully picking on the only person in our class who was smaller than him but it became clear that he was actually some sort of psychopath. A few days later the last straw came when he stole my pencil case and I broke down and started crying. The teachers finally realised that it wasn't just a few isolated incidences and when I told them about the choking they moved him to another class, the bullying stopped and he was expelled the next year.

That's probably my most traumatic experience though I don't usually think of it like that since I never really dreaded school and I certainly never became depressed.

Spoiler: Totally not funny.

A lot of my childhood was pretty messed up. On Saturdays I would be brought on a 8 hour round trip to visit my sisters in a mental hospital. (Eating disorders; not getting into it over the internet)

The most traumatic experience I can recall was when one of those same sisters nearly killed herself by overdosing on perscription sleepers and painkillers and alcohol. She had also locked herself in her room so we had to get a neighbour to kick down the door after she wouldn't respond. At this point I had actually thought that she might be dead. Luckily she was rushed to hospital where she spent several days, and is now fine (apart from the life-destroying eating disorder).

Traumatising enough?

Oh my god, I'm...I'm so so sorry.

Wow...I'm really down now.

Hope she (or is it "they"?) get better. Wow

...Wow...

Yeah, umm... Believe it or not, it still isn't really something I want to know. Seeing as he's 51 and he's, you know, my dad and everything.
