Nightmares
The nightmare of drowning as your vehicle tips over the bridge. That is something that traumatizes me deeply not just a smidge. While the vehicle is sinking in the water, I am gasping for breath Thinking this might help me live or maybe it will be my last. Swimming has never been my forte or even one of my sports I have tried to learn the art of swimming, even took a course. But to no avail, I still will drown in a pool with 3 feet of water My body will always stay where it started and go no farther. I believe I am experiencing some Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Some bad events when I was young, I still suffer now that I am older. When I was about 10 years of age, I was thrown in the middle of a pool In my mind, I was drowning, everyone was watching and I felt like a fool. I attribute the nightmares to these frightening episodes in my years I have tried everything to erase these horrid memories and fears These courses I took to try to conquer this phobia while in school Never helped me control my fears and these nightmares still rule!
