I can’t put my finger on it…

Schrecken13
April 20, 2025
Spring has arrived and it seems time is flying by, as I work hard to finish some jobs before I take my first trip of the season in mid-May. But there is something that is still bothering me, that which plays almost constantly in my mind like background music in a shopping mall. Most of…

The folly of extreme worry

Schrecken13
March 30, 2025
Lately I've been thinking about what I've learned in the past 20 some odd years with regards to the defeat of the terrible phobia I once suffered. I meticulously documented my struggle in imagery and writing back then (including having a journal here at OD), and I even kept track of and made copi...

Reaching way back into the past

Schrecken13
March 15, 2025
I think it's time for an Open Diary flashback, going all the way back to the turn of the last millennium. It was in this time when I was fighting an epic psychological battle against a situational phobia that had gripped me since childhood. This all came up again recently because I spent the last...

The limitations of dreams…

Schrecken13
March 13, 2025
Last night I had a very strange dream, which, for the most part, isn't all that unusual in my case. This dream was related to something I'm very much looking forwards to doing, but it took a bizarre and unsettling turn near the end. The night before last I slept badly and thus I remembered…

Standing on a precipice

Schrecken13
December 28, 2024
Several years ago, it was late in the month of May, and while the air was still chilly, the bright sun shone warm upon my skin that afternoon. For some perplexing reason, I found myself standing on the roof of a building; it was something like a large shed with a flat roof. This location…

A notorious website, part 2

Schrecken13
December 16, 2024
The other night it was much too late, and there was no way I was going to visit that website before bed. I know better, as the content of that site is bound to foment nightmares. But it isn't just that site, it is any and everything to do with the bloodthirsty killer that is the…

Yet another nightmare…

Schrecken13
December 14, 2024
Last night I had another nightmare, one that was likely inspired by some things I did and saw the day before. It only takes a small trigger to generate a dream, whether good, bad or in between. My nightmare was concerning something I've had some really bad dreams about, but that which I had not&h...

Being forced to face my fear

Schrecken13
October 21, 2024
Then came a day when it all changed. I was in my mid-20's when another friend of my mom's invited the two of us to join her and her family at a local amusement park. The company she worked for at the time had their company picnic there, and she could bring several guests. I…

The ongoing creep factor

Schrecken13
September 20, 2024
As the summer came and went, and I began preparing to start my freshman year of college, that terrifying incident of the previous summer still weighed heavy on my mind. A vast green wall separated the house from my view, but as the leaves began to turn and fall, it reappeared once again. Once in&...

Heightening the fear

Schrecken13
August 3, 2024
Earlier this evening as I was reading over some news stories, I came across something quite shocking, at least to me. The word on the street thus far, so to speak, has been that the new Key Bridge will be slightly taller than the old one. But oh no, it seems a little bit just…
