Well great start to vacation.
I hope I never have to deal with another hypnosis person again. They scare me. I had a fucking panic attack because of them. AND THE SCHOOL THINKS ITS A GOOD IDEA TO DO THIS FOR AN HOUR AND HAVE ME FREAK OUT AND NEVER REALLY GET OVER IT UNTIL TONIGHT!!!!
See, for the first bit, I was freaking out. When they count backwards and start them with the whole sleeping thing, I can’t do that. I was hiding in my girlfriends arms, shaking and crying. Music didn’t help. Now, when he was counting down all I could think of was the number 11. Counting from 10 to zero scares me. I was told a very scary thing when I was young, and I haven’t liked them since.
The story goes that a hypnosis person put 10 people under and then made them kill everyone in the room. WHY WOULD YOU TELL A FIVE YEAR OLD THAT!?!?!
Anyways, so there’s that. So I can’t do that. Now, as I was freaking out, I remember little pieces. Honestly, it was just Jess’s voice. Oops.
When people count down it scares me a little. But doing that as people are forced to do things, that terrifies me. And I had to face that and it was not fun.
So here’s a fun fact for schools. Let people know what is happening so that they can come prepared to face them. They wouldn’t make a girl with arachnophobia deal with spiders, so why make someone terrified of hypnosis face that ENTIRE A WHOLE FUCKING SCHOOL?
And you know what? When a kid goes, “Oh you should do it” and you are evidently freaking out, its not a fucking joke. Its not funny to say that. I am terrified of hypnosis and you think its funny to volunteer me? I cant even try to explain how bad it was.
You know when you have an immense fear, and you have to face it? Try facing it with a kid being persistent with putting you up on a stage to face the fear. I cant even.
If I punch him, I’m not even sorry. He just triggered me.
I am legit terrified of hypnosis. I will never ever do one of those again.
