warning alien story!
I was on vacation and I thought that the money I saved will spend on spending a vacation in a village it was nice but one day when I go to walk with my dog jimmy I saw plain ground and 7-8 small little men wearing a mask and standing in a circle and there was a space ship above them my dog started to bark on them I just lift my dog up and then run in full speed as fast as I can and from then I am a believer of aliens because I saw myself I told the villagers and even my relatives about that but they think that I am a fool and just saw a dream but my dog is evidence of that I also had a feeling that aliens abduct me once a year!

This thread was from November so I can't believe I missed the worst one.
My step father almost died in September, when they called us, my world shattered. I was crying constantly, as was my mother. He pulled through, but that was the hardest part of my life.

My father had 2 strokes and I thought he was going die. He is still alive and very well though the right side of his body is hard for him to use. His father my grandpa died from having tons of strokes.

TW: eating disorder

Spoiler:

I had a severe panic attack when I was 10 and thought that I was going to die in the hospital parking lot. I somehow convinced myself that having food stuck in your throat = you're going to die if you don't get it out because in my mind, it was the same as choking to death. It did not help at all that the GP I saw hrs earlier had told me to go to the hospital as a precaution in case I had inhaled an object into my lungs. I think she wanted me to have reassurance but that sent me into total panic.

I had no idea what a panic attack was and took a lot of its symptoms (hyperventilating, tremors, feeling like you're about to faint, numbness, feeling extremely cold all over, tightness in throat...) as a confirmation I was dying. I remember also my mum thought I had a blue tinge to my lips which scared her and we had to sprint to the hospital.

It was the most traumatic day of my life. I ended up not being able to eat for months because I had no idea how powerful the mind is psychologically and how it can convince you that something is wrong physically when it isn't. I was too scared to eat and lost my ability to swallow food because of the impact that incident left on me. I got so ill from not eating and those months were also the scariest moments of my life because I could never picture it going back to normal/that I'd just die from starvation. So many times where I would just break down crying because I was so scared I was 'choking' again.

It took years to move on from this and 9 yrs later, I still have my up and down days with getting past it. I think it will always affect me in some way but I am trying my best to overcome a lot of my anxious thoughts about it. Even when I reassured myself that nothing was physically wrong and that I could eat, my brain would somehow find ways to send me into panic (there was a time where I thought if I even got mildly anxious about it that it'd come back because I remember how it was initially triggered by me being scared in the first place). It definitely found ways to stay around and haunt me.

I had another scary moment where I relapsed and got scared to eat in the 11th grade because of this but thankfully that time it only lasted a month. That also led to me having to take an ambulance and staying overnight in a hospital because not eating had made me feel so sick that I almost passed out in pain. I didn't even tell anyone about it because I thought it would burden them so I spent my time in the hospital super anxious and working myself up with no one to properly calm me down. My family just thought I was too stressed from school. I also had an exam the next day too so instead of allowing myself to recover/rest or just talk about what was going on, I spent the entire stay in the hospital studying. Felt very in character for me but it was also really sad looking back....

Sorry for the long post but it was therapeutic to talk about this again as its something I have mentioned in the past to friends but as a "something you should know about why I am who I am now" rather than something that I am still going through and trying to overcome in terms of not letting it relapse. Some days I think I'll relapse but I hope that one day with enough patience/practice I'll be able to overcome my anxiety about all this once and for all. :')

The scariest thing that happened in my life was my belongings stolen by the apartment janitor.

Back then, when I was living in a poor apartment, a janitor was cleaning up our rooms without the presence of me and the family members. They had access to our apartment. On that day, something about the janitor was funny and skeptical. He had to clean up all of the rooms without anyone being there. After that day of cleaning, I got worried. I saw that some of my games were missing the place where they belong; my eyes do not lie. After realizing it, the janitor stole some of my games, and especially the one that I had for several years (and my most favorite game). I got frustrated that day. In the end, we had no choice but to change our locks. Later, we finally moved out of the place to our own house. Never liked that apartment.
