rushrock Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have a weird problem about content that I don't want to view. I have this uncontrollable urge to view the disturbing content, even though I really don't want to and it might not sit very well with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this uncontrollable urge to view the disturbing content, even though I really don't want to and it might not sit very well with me. I have that same problem. I'm fascinated by zombies, but at the same time they scare the [cabbage] out of me. This isn't a regular fear either, it's highly irrational and at one point it got to the point where I couldn't be in the dark. It probably started when I watched Land of the Dead when I was 10 or so and it traumatized me. Any zombie movie with obscene amounts of gore will give me nightmares. But even after all the trouble that these flicks caused me, I still can't stay away. Ugh, I blame George Romero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whocares Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah, get checked out by a psychiatrist if a book can scare you that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 7 or 8, I got Resident Evil 2 for N64, and decided to play it one night. In my basement. At around midnight. Now though I'm so desensitized to it that I haven't been scared by a movie in forever. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Great. I'm pretty sure it will just be some kind of stomach bug, because as people have said, you've got all the symptoms. You're already doing the most important thing - going to see a doctor. There's no way there's going to be anything you can really do besides that. Although, you know, going outside would help. If it's a sunny day out, don't spend time inside. Go hang out at the park. Get a game of soccer going. Just sit outside with a good (non-horror) book for a while. It always helps me feel better. And I mean always. Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper88888 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Okay, stay outside during the day as much as possible, and when you're inside, keep plenty of lights turned on, that alone should help.. then, do whatever you can to distract yourself, watch daytime tv, read lots of non-zombie books. Oh, and seeing a gp and a shrink is good, too.. But chances are, you've just got some sort of bug that you just happened to catch at the same time that you started feeling creeped out. There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have to look it up. I'm not interested in it at all. It's the exact opposite. It really freaks me out, but sometimes I still have to look at it. I don't like it. I usually try and fight the urge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
