The post that was quoted here has been removedPLEASE try to be honest with yourself first, then with the other people reading these posts. Innocently stated topic was vanilla plain and transparent... "Your Greatest Fear". Not your illness or hallucinations.
Nothing whatsoever, by any stretch of the imagination, to do with (1) Inordinate verbal competition, (2) Extravagant shock jock posturing, (3) Morbid anatomical fixations, (4) Unbridled scatalogical musings. or (5) Deeply felt (rue impacted) sexual prowess frutrations.
Here's the gentle point... Joined the RHP Site this past July for the express purpose of playing instructive chess with two of my five bright, computer literate grandchildren. They are capable of exploring my RHP Forum Posts. Little leaguer home run hitter Kyle is only six. Insightful, delicate and trusting Monica just celebrated nine.
Do whatever you choose to do privately (your business) but please exhibit a measure of consideration and maybe cut a little slack on this family oriented RHP Site in the open Public Forums. Thanks. -gb

The post that was quoted here has been removedEven so, having an hallucination that I was trying to beat someone to death with an unfortunately small pork-sword is still not something I would like to share with 13 year olds....
Although admittedly, when I was 13 I used to find this sort of stuff hilarious ... maybe that says more about me though....

Occupational hazard of being alive.. except for those poor souls who are non compos mentis at birth or those who, subsequently, by reason of choice have reduced their perspicacity IQ's to something less than room temperature. By the way, your greatest fear?

An objective awareness of them, as an alternative to self denial, would seem consistent with a healthy pysche. Seeing a thing steady and seeing it whole requires effort, patience and grit. With something as private and personal as fear, it's a little like being sat down on the lone chair in the dank interrogation chamber of your own soul... and watching the bare bulb as it swings. Some gut it out and survive. Some splinter or crack.

Some of the posts on this subject surprised me. Some intrigued me. Learned from all of them. Regret that you were disappointed.
