Title: Childhood traumas
Post by: Nick on November 08, 2011, 08:41:04 PM
How many of you have had childhood traumas which have afflicted your lives ever since?

I think of things like fishophobia or fear of hot drinks or cucumbers whistle: whistle:

What happened?

I have philias by contrast  angel1. These include creosote, trains and autumn leaves, though I cannot abide a mango for some reason.

I had my tonsils out when I was four ..... in hospital for a week in those days. Every meal had boiled vegetable marrow on the plate (reckoned to be soft and easy to swallow unlike today when I gather they feed patients things like cornflakes etc to scrape the throat) Haven't been able to eat vegetable marrow since.  sick2:

My mum was the world's biggest tea drinker and believed it could cure all known illnesses and prevent any you didn't know about.

When I was likkle , sick and unable to go school I used to have no choice but go with my mum to work.

She worked in a ...how can I put this politically correctly ....mental hospital  noooo: . She did the uniform stuff for doctors and nurses not a patient. So you used to have to sit there all day feeling shit however she would go and let you sit in on basket weaving classes with the 'patients' and stuff like that  noooo: . This was before the days of Childline  cussing:.

Anyways we had to go to the staff canteen for lunch and she was ordering me to drink me tea even though I felt really queasy. Yep you guessed it - projectile vomitting over everyone  redface: redface: redface: redface: redface:

I was only about 8 or 9 and so embarrassed I ran off down the corridor and locked myself in some large room / cupboard . I didn't realise there was a patient in there and he was mumbling freaky deeky weirdo stuff and I panicked and couldn't get out.

You can see the trauma levels piling up can't you .

Anyways ...I blame the tea  noooo:

OK this is one I haven't told anyone before but why not now?

When I was about 9 I used to walk home from school. One day I was two hours late getting home. Father was out scouring the streets for me. I don't know what happened during those two hours. I do remember coming out of a house (can still remember which road it was in) that was not on my normal route home. I also remember saying goodbye to an elderly lady (or so she seemed to me) at the front door of the house and walking straight home. My father took me back to the house but there was no old lady and the occupant denied ever having seen me. My father thrashed me for telling lies but what I have just told you is what I told him and is the truth. I have absolutely no idea what it was all about.

Abduction for sure ~ just wish I could remember what happened in the house. I do recall she gave me a cup of tea and a slice of cake but that's all.

Dentists

The reason I can't stand dentists is as a youngster I was told I needed to have 4 teeth taken out. Bit crowded in my gob apparently  ::)

I was put under using gas  sick2:

All teeth taken up at the same time ( rear top and bottom on either side ).

The brute that called himself the dentist ripped them out mercilessly and I drowsily woke up, feeling sick, with my mouth full of blood and padded out with tissues.

Was sick again but thought I would die choking on own vomit as couldn't get tissues and wadding out of my mouth  noooo:

I have philias too. No phobias are included but one of my first memories is sitting on the ground at the bottom of the garden next to an old Belfast sink and playing with the woodlice there.  I was a lonely child, oh and I never had red wellies either.  Seems to me that I was a lonely and deprived child. noooo: sad24:
