However it's nice to be in the company of 40-some-odd other wackadoos just like me who can't keep The Freaky from popping into their heads at all the wrong times. Dead things scrabbling around right outside my field of vision; the seductive urge to toss myself (OR ONE OF MY KIDS) off a high place or chop a finger with a kitchen knife, just to see what it might be like; being watched or followed.... I always figured it was because I read a lot of Stephen King as a young impressionable girl. Holy shit, you freaked me right out.

I felt everything up until the point where I heard my baby cry. I was screaming the whole time and the anesthesiologist said he was giving me something to knock me out but it wasn't working fast enough. Once I heard my baby's little voice and knew he was okay, I mercifully passed the hell out! I woke up again when they were wheeling me out of the operating room. Nightmare, definitely, but other medical problems (like IVs and mammograms) seem so trivial now. It definitely puts things in perspective! I had an emergency C-section with a botched epidural.

What does that say about me trusting myself less than strangers? I guess either scenario is about a lack of control in a sense. I'll second the earthquake while on Bay Bridge one, and also, while in the BART tunnel going across the Bay. That thing is long, dark, scary and without exits.
