What Induces Fear?

I don't feel welcome to talk about my flashbacks here anymore.

that's a shame because you really shouldn't let the opinions of others dictate what you talk about here on ad vs. what you don't.

as i said before, if someone says something negative about my bipolar, it won't stop me from talking about it one way or the other.

I have my family, my teachers, my peers, even some of my doctors deny my symptoms. I don't need it from AD too. I know I have PTSD, I know I experience flashbacks, and I don't need to hear about it from people on here that my experience is impossible. Not to mention this is a huge emotional trigger for me. So I would really appreciate it if we could move on with this thread.

May I just say that you have doctors backing you up... Nika does not (at least it doesn't seem so). Would you be as confident in your diagnosis if you had no doctor backing you up?

given the fact that back in 2006 i was severely manic, lost complete touch with reality, nearly committed suicide, heard up to 20 different voices, had persecutory delusions and didn't eat or sleep for over a week, i would say that yes, i do feel 100% confident in the fact that i have bipolar.
 
Yes!! I want to hear about other people's fears!!!!!

I'm terrified of going blind. Once I "went blind" for a few seconds because I was playing ultimate frisbee at night (NOT RECOMMENDED!) and rammed into someone. We both bumped heads and I couldn't see for only maybe a second or two. THAT FREAKED ME OUT. I kept blinking then I regained my sight.

no offense, but if this thread was such an emotional trigger for you, how were you able to discuss as much about flashbacks and sexual predators as you were?

sorry, but i had to ask you this question.

Personally, I think some things SHOULDN'T be discussed so openly.
 
Well, I don't know how to convey this politely but I'll try my best to say it in third person perspective.
The topic has taken a unanticipated swerve into an unmarked road, ran over some spikes, nails and bombs, but now it's finally converging back to the main road.
Regarding most of the health diagnosis issues that emerged in leeway of it during that session, I did not pay full attention to it as it was beyond me to fully comprehend or lest give a plausible comment.

You know who can save it though? All it takes is that one superlady, no other than Alleycat who started it to get us back on track, lol.

that's understandable. before i wore hearing aids, i was afraid of going deaf because i relied on my ears for mobility and activities of daily living.

this probably explains why i had such a difficult time after i lost my hearing. over time though, i slowly began to realize that it wasn't something to be afraid of.

it's ironic because now i'm totally deaf without my ci's and yet it doesn't frighten me in the least.

When I have flashbacks, the real wolf inside me takes over and generally does the hunt for meat.

It happens a lot after I smoke a bowl.

Flashbacks is not something to be made lightly of. Please go grow up, and then when you are done growing up, come back and then we can have an adult discussion. You are acting very childish right now. :roll:

LOL. Enough said! :)

Someone else in this thread said they were afraid of spiders. So am I. Unfreakingly so. There's been a spider in my laundry room the past 3 days and I keep looking for it before I walk in there! :eek3:
