It seems to help calm my brain down so I read every single night and I am a freakishly fast reader, I've already read 3 books since I finished this one!<BR/><BR/>#2 Ya know, I have been asked this question before. And it's kind of hard to explain. Horror was my first love, way back before I really had any of these problems. I have adored the horror genre since I was a toddler, I'm serious. When I was a kid I used to wait up for my Dad to come home from work (he's a musician, so he'd get home at like, 3 am) and when he'd get home, we'd sit up and make sandwiches and watch old b&w horror movies on the tube. I loved it! He also had a collection of full-color coffee table books about the horror genre and I pretty much learned to read on those, I was fascinated with them (and I have recently inherited the crumbling old horror book collection, awesome!) I guess what I am saying is, to me horror is fantasy and escapism, not serious and real.... and the things I watch and read about are in a whole other realm from the things that actually scare me in real life. And when I am watching a horror movie and I get 'scared', I can just turn it off, so it's not an out of control experience like my MDD episodes. But I never actually get scared watching/reading horror, in fact I am addicted to the genre and I watch more horror movies than anyone I know ;)Shadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310969698323696901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705564970777798837.post-91299640278682595392008-07-07T04:44:00.000-06:002008-07-07T04:44:00.000-06:00One. Wish I had the time and concentration to read...One. Wish I had the time and concentration to read a novel like that.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Two. Why / how do you / what's it like to expose yourself to scary stuff like this, being the highly sensitive person that is so often pestered by the paranoia of your illness?<BR/>To put it plainly; if your body can make you feel so darned scared when you don't want to, how is at that you would like reading and watching scary stuff by choice? I obviously don't have any experience with this at all; it's just that I would think if my body would play tricks on me like that, I think I would abolish scary stuff by choice in my life.<BR/> I've been wondering about that for some time since I "know" you =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
