Peter H Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Quick question Mike, would you be able to stand here or would it make you dizzy? (i'm interested in knowing if illusions have an effect, not trying to make you sick) Edited August 8, 2013 by Peter H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i'm interested in knowing if illusions have an effect, not trying to make you sick) Think I'd definitely struggle with those...very clever though.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't have an issue with heights, been to the Eiffel Tower, Sears Tower Chicago (when it was), and even Spinnaker (Portsmouth) to a lesser extent. I don't wish to elaborate on sensitive issues but have a sort of agoraphobia where I may vomit or the extreme sun can cause similar issues or nausea. Not afraid of the dark, spiders or other harmless insects. I don't like flying as much as the next, but it's not really a phobia, although would prefer other modes of transport.

Zoo Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Is it just me that has to pause to laugh after every DK post? The last bit 'although would prefer other modes of transport' had me in stitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not a phobia as such but last night it was really dark here (yes there are degrees of darkness for nights and last night was a DARK one) Anyway before bed I went for a pee and shut the toilet door behind me. I was just standing there and just put the light on when I was hit on the back of the head. I nearly shit myself. Window was open and a feckin bird had flown in!

Dalziel Kane Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Strange how you always close the door behind you even when you know you're the only one in the residence. It's like second nature. Notice often enough (now) have a fear of getting light in the morning. Get in a panic, albeit briefly. Never was one for daylight, so it's a bit of a nuisance when the time arises. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I don't appreciate flippant remarks on serious issues and don't want no scope for humor but said it before there is something amiss. In that an aversion to sunlight, distaste of garlic and general sharp objects and won't go near holy water. Rapid hair growth is another cause for concern but can actually see my reflection so all is not lost. I did take a bite out of my second wife once for good measure, but it was nothing malicious you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't control it and don't know if I ever will. same here dude Strange one that....it's the one inevitable result of being alive. Maybe things will change if/when you have kids....I know that for me virtually in the moment that Josh was born things sort of kicked into place, like I'd fulfilled what I was here for (continuation of the blood line) and death no longer really bothered me (though I'd be quite happy to put it off for a decade or four ). Conversely my dad was terrified of dying, kept him alive and in pain for many years because he was too scared to let go. Like I said, strange one.

Zoo Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd be happy to have some form of hypnosis to try and get rid of it (if that works) but I've genuinely found myself having mad panic-attacks (especially when I was younger) when it's popped into my head. Hopefully as you say Mike, once I grow up a bit it might go away it just annoys me how sometimes my fear of death can get into the way of living.

Turning 30 is freaking me out! When growing up, 40 was always the age to look to for "it's all over", etc. Wrong! Totally agree with 30. My life turned upside down. I didn't know whether I wanted a shit or a haircut, etc, when I got to 30. Terrible, awful age! 40 and 50, no problems, a breeze, but unfortunately had to get past 30 to get there.

Exactly the same as me Matt. The fact that I will be nothing terrifies me to the point where I can't keep myself sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing that always got me through that feeling is that I always coped with being "nothing" in the thousands of years before I was born.
