Your Most Traumatic Experience

[AdamBomb]

What is something that's happened to you, not necessarily in childhood, that has forever changed the way you look at things?

I used to like dogs, but one day I was over at my best friend's house and his german shepherd (who was getting old and was losing his vision) jumped up on me and attacked me. Bit a big'ol chunk out of my stomach and I had to go to the emergency room to get it treated. Ever since I have been really nervous around dogs.

First time I got pulled over was terrifying. I was 17 I think and was driving a truck that wasn't mine, and I got pulled for speeding. Man, when my dad found out I didn't think I'd ever be able to drive again. Ever since that day I'm constantly looking around for cops when I drive.


Those are a couple of mine, what are some of yours?

The other day a mate of mine fell out of a two story window on to some concrete steps. He's recovered quickly but it really makes you think.

Hatchet, sacred body part, bad... why do so many threads bring up memories about the time I almost had something cut off with a hatchet?

I saw that movie 'Pet Sematary' at a younger age and it flat out TRAUMATISED me. I would spend all night awake and fearful, if I even started thinking about it I suddenly couldn't get it our of my head and kept getting scared. The second time I watched it I thought I had withstood the effects, then when the light went out they came back. I kid you not, I used to wait until first light before I went to bed. I would lock myself in a room and watch happy funny smiley videos on youtube until the sun started to come up. I lost at least seven kilos in weight as well because I couldn't bring myself to eat. I don't get why the movie effected me like this but it did.
Interestingly after that no other movie has ever SCARED me since, I think during the trauma I actually lost my sense of fear. Like I saw something so scary that nothing else scares me.


....that's my trauma anyway. Whatcha think?

That's a popular one. For me, I was trying not to laugh. Once a hatchet has been anywhere near your unit, two girls eating poo and vomit is tame.

IT freaked me the hell out when I was little and I still don't like clowns. Oddly enough, I really enjoy old Pennywise now.

Until you posted that, I didn't know what that video involved. Thank you for that really gross image.

As for me, several not-too-great things that have affected me. The worst was my gran dying in a fire aged 11, and then having to go into her burnt out house to help clean it. Now, thanks to a really overactive imagination, I can imagine my gran burning to death.

So less of the fire jokes please? They really upset me, and for good reason.

Van vs Motorbike?
Well, when there's a speeding van coming straight at you on the back of a motorbike with no intentions of turning or avoiding you, you kind of get a teensy bit scared. Especially when they clip the back of the bike and you nearly fall off.

What is this infamous rule 34? I'm to afraid to Google it...

 

[Booze Zombie]

Almost dying when I was a child because I swallowed some pills, I can't remember anything before swallowing and my mind seems different than it felt before I could remember...

Rule 34 is, if it exists, there is porn of it.

when i was five i had a model of the space shuttle, it was on the floor, because i was playing with it, well my dad had seen that i was using his tools, brought me over and crushed it right in front of me.

when i was 10 my dad drug me through the house, because i wouldn't go to school.

As a child, I was commonly found in the water. Pool, pond, lake, ocean, it didn't matter. Everyone that knew me joked that I was part fish. But when I was around ten, I almost drowned. Since then, my interest in swimming has been minimal. Not scared of the water by any means, just seem to prefer my feet on solid ground.

Also, when my son was taken away from me, that changed me. Since then I have a lot of trouble trusting anyone. If the person I loved, my best friend, the person I was planning to spend the rest of my life with, could so easily just rip a part of my life away from me without a care... Yet somehow my current fiance seems to be finding a way of bringing trust back into my life. It's a slow going process though. Thankfully she seems to have a lot of patience.

Finding out a few weeks ago that stomach cancer runs in both sides of my family. So there is a 75% chance that I'll get it.

Also when my appendix burst. I got sepsis and the doctor said that if I had come in any later I could've died.

As a teenager I went on holiday with a friend and his family. They were nice people but none of them could be referred to as "small".

His large mother had a sensible bathing costume for a rotund middle aged woman... Unfortunately she had not performed the appropriate grooming for said swimming costume.

She had a full on pant moustache for the whole holiday, 2 weeks in length. Pubes either side looking like a conga line of spiders.

I die a little inside each time Im reminded of the incident.
