Anybody have any weird things that they do? For example, I can't use the bathroom unless the shower curtain is completely open-afraid someone is hiding in there. I lock any doors that have locks immediately after closing them, I won't close my eyes in the shower or bathtub when I am home alone,...\nI think this is really interesting to see what other people do. Makes you feel less weird, lol. NO jerk answers.

well I don't know what to tell you but I feel your pain, if I don't set an alarm I can sleep all day and the only way I wake up is if I have to use the bathroom, hey that gives me an idea, before you go to bed drink a ltr of water!  \nI could ask a doc about this though, probably can help you more then a bunch of morons on the net lol

my whole family is sensitive ghosts.  my mother saw Indians hiding behind some stones in her bedroom. my cousin lost a tooth when she was little and out of no where a red hor quarter was in her hand. I myself have had my bed raise and shack like crazy. I have seen a long legged man walk across my mothers living room floor while we were playing cards. in our old house on kelleys island in ohio I couldn't breath in the middle of my bedrrom floor. didn't matter any where else in the room but the middle.  my family has a history of strange things that happen. my husband say they follow me, no matter we live. now my childeren have the same gift. if that is what you want to call it.

1) Yes, sometimes freaks me out but I was told it's a form of self hypnosis.\n\n2) *sigh* Yes, in fact just a few minutes ago. I think for some reason if you go back out of the room & try to retrace your steps while you're trying to remember what you were doing, for some reason it will trigger the memory.\n\n3) Yes, too many times. Have no idea what that's all about.\n\n4) I've done this too and usually I don't go back and get the right stuff unless its something really important.

Back at university, I lost my pants while out at a bar with my boyfriend.  Not quite sure how to this day I lost them, but I never did find them...didn't stop our evening out though...we went to several more places after that and oddly enough nobody minded.  (Went to university in New Orleans, LA which might explain why...LOL)\nLately though, the extravagance of my behaviour is sending random emails to entertaining people.

I had a real problem with Agoraphobia.  I couldn't even look out any of the windows in the house.  I kept my indoor world dark and comfy.\n   I finally started forcing myself to get up in the mornings and open 'a' curtain. Then later I was opening all of the curtains in one room.  After awhile I was really wanting to go out on the front porch.  Everytime I tried and started opening the door I would hear a car coming and slam it shut.\n    It was awful.  \n Eventually I would make it out to the porch and stand there and look at the roses and smell the beautilful air...and run back in.\n  It has been a year and a half now.  I was stuck in here for 2 yrs. \nNow I have a car and actually go places by myself.\nIt was rough at first with the car.  I would drive around and not get out. I remember having to go to the bathroom really very badly and 'scared' to stop somewhere.  I ended up driving over 70 miles before I couldn't take it anymore and found a rest area on the interstate.\n   Yep, definately 'baby steps' is the way to go.\nI wish you or whoever it is all of the 'oomph' in the world!\n  You WILL make it ...it's not so bad out here...AND.... I know that I can always come home and  'cave-out' if I feel like I need to.\n     Good luck and be strong! ~wink, wink~

Every now and then i manage to lock myself out of the house.  I used to leave the kitchen window open all the time incase i did it, i could crawl in through there.  Then i moved, and had a crummy lock, and all i needed to get in was a stiff card.  Then i got a dead bolt, so i kept a spare set of keys in my car.  Then i locked myself out of the car..lol...so i gave a spare set to my friend to hold on to.  Maybe i should attach a set onto my belly ring.

We live in a day and age where people don't care about anyone but themselves.  I can assure you that their home bathrooms probably do not look the same way (though I wouldn't be caught dead finding out for myself).  They don't have to clean it up - so they don't care.\n\nFurthermore, some people just having something wrong with them.  Maybe they're marking their territory?  *shiver*\n\nIt is for some of these very same reasons that I can't use public bathrooms.  It drives my poor husband nuts because there are times when I'm sitting cross-legged waiting for him to drive us home so that I can go . . . but I just can't get a public bathroom clean enough for me to feel comfortable using.

I did when I was in high school.  We had a big shower stall with multiple heads on the walls.  It was hard the first day, but within a week or two, I was running through the gym naked.  I never got in any real trouble either because the teachers would have to admit that they saw me naked in order to turn me in.  It was weird.  I went from being terrified of other people seeing me naked to *wanting* everyone to see me naked.  I can't explain it.\n\nSome tips for you...\n\n1. Don't let any of the other guys know you are scared.  You will regret it if you do.  Act like you do this all the time.\n\n2. Don't be in too much of a hurry to get your clothes back on because the other guys will figure out that you are scared.\n\n3. Don't turn around or use objects to cover yourself.  Again, the guys will figure out you are scared.\n\n4. None of the other guys will laugh at you for being naked, but they WILL laugh at you for being timid.\n\n5. Its normal to be nervous the first day, but you will literally feel like showering outdoors within a week.  Seriously.\n\n6.  It is WRONG to be embarrassed about being naked in front of other people.  You'll figure this out as you go along.\n\n7. It helps cut the edge off if you engage in a lttle light horseplay with towels or balls.\n\n8. Don't shower in your gym shorts or swim suit even if this is allowed.  See #1 above. Doing so will invariably result in you losing them at a most inconveinient time which causes the problems associated with #4 above.\n\nBest of luck to you.  Just don't sweat it.  I guarantee that you will do just fine.

You could just be in fear of someone doing that. I would suggest getting a screen for that window if you think it would help you sleep better at night, and not wake up with these feelings. There are other things you need to ask yourself: How comfortable are you in your neighborhood, Are you in a high crime area? These are things to think about. They could be feuling your anxiety about someone breaking into your house.

Not mine I'm afraid, but a friend emailed and told me about this guy that bought an electronic stun-gun for his wife's personal safety. He didn't want to give it to her without being sure it would work when needed so decided to test it on himself.\n\nWhen he finally came to, it was because the spasms of his muscles had eventually jerked the device out of his hand, but he still felt groggy for quite a while\n\nThere was also the person who dropped their cellphone in the toilet. For the 2nd time. Still having trouble keeping a straight face about that one.

Yes, I was living in a two-story house in WV. I was sleeping in the attic after some reading and something went by the light that startled me I said who's there no one answered. I notice my closet door quack open a little so I looked inside and saw two red glowing eyes looking right at me, so I close the closet door and went to my dad and we went back to my room and he open the closet door anw and shined a flashlight at that spot and that red glowing eyes vanish until he turned off the flashlight and it was back again.We went donwstairs and we looked at each other thinking we were crazy.Another was me and my mother was in the kitchen ,she was writing letters and I was washing dishes and we heard something strange sound coming from the wall next to the stove and followed the sound to only hearing breathing and seeing the wall in and out as if someone or something was presant. I got out of there. The every last time I was in the kitchen and mom and dad was in the livingroom watching tv and the wall started up and this time my dad came into the kitchen and this time the wall breath to "GET OUT" 3x's like that, the hairs all over stood on end I shaken all over and could't stay anymore in that house. Moved away to new location felt better and one New Year Eve I went with a friend to the store and I decided to see if that house was still there as I looked up this thing was greyish/white all over and the same red glowing eyes looking at me, I shaked again and my friend came out and came over were I was looking at this thing and it scared her too.I didn't believe in stuff like this now that has change.

So you're not afraid of toilets?  Just public toilets?  And why just public toilets?  Was it that your brother did this to you in/at a public toilet?  I think more info would be needed to accuratly offer advice.  But, for now, perhaps just realizing that you're older now and that the same thing isnt going to happen again is all you need to overcome this.  Because, really, what are the odds you'll fall into a public toilet AND to have your brother repeatedly flush it, yes?

No ur not mental. I'm a germafobic. Every time I touch my ears or nose I'm in the kitchen washing my hands. I'm afraid to touch dirty dishes and cant stand when other people are sloppy eaters. Why didnt you want to drink the one with the plastic film on it? Is it because u were afraid u were gunna choke? Its ok, its possible if the film is too large and comes off in your mouth. (I prob. would've done it too lol =) ) dont be sad, think about it..... Its pretty funny right? If you get a good laugh about it no dobut you will feel ship-shape.\n\n                                           -Laurenloo

One like this:  'Do you shower in the nude?'  I thought that was dumb because obviously we all do that!! Does he expect us to put on as many clothes as possible and shower with them all on! Come on!!! (i hope the guy doesn't read this!!) It actually made me laugh in a way so that's why i answered it!
