I never stood at the edge of the platform I was always by the wall. I once saw a woman in the platform's edge fall when the train arrived so that she was wedged in between the tube train and the platform. Luckily for her a couple of blokes ran forward and pulled her out otherwise she woul probably been dragged under the train. Those guys were total heroes.As a child this was my waking nightmare, but with trains not tubes
There’s something about train platforms i get very nervous about . I’ve witnessed nothing on the scale of what you witnessed though . That’s horrible!I never stood at the edge of the platform I was always by the wall.

OMG a this has happened to me also- I was already afraid of moths and butterflies so it was fucking horrifyingMoths - once many years ago I was walking home from work in the early evening. It was dark, I felt a bit stressed and so I let out a massive sigh and as I deeply breathed back in, a large moth had the audacity to fly into my mouth. It freaked me out so much that I couldn't breathe for a split second and nearly cried. I changed my route home and I've never done deep breathing like that again in public. I still feel grossed out whenever I see the road it happened on.
Another one is my fear of dying in the bathtub, because I will be found naked by my loved ones and the paramedics
Same here.Choking to death ... I seem to have trouble digesting an ever-increasing list of foods, and several times throughout my life I've thought, "This is it!" while I've rushed to stick my fingers in my mouth to try and retrieve the stuck object.
!!!! - i had this so badly that i went to my gp about it. around ten years or so ago i bumped a kerb with the back wheel of my car while parking and convinced myself i’d hit a cyclist (why a cyclist who knows?I haven't read the whole thread, but I suddenly feel more sane realising I'm not alone with my thoughts. My main ones
- that I've hit someone with my car and not realised
I'm pleased to hear you were able to get help. Not many people are aware that it's a form of OCD. Some people with it actually drive back and retrace the routes they drove to try and find the person they think they hit and can do that several times a day as well as things that you mention like checking news reports. There are so many different ways OCD can present. It's a shame it's still a relatively 'unknown' condition. It's always linked to the tidyness/germ stuff, which obviously is just as debilitating but isn't the full picture.!!!! - i had this so badly that i went to my gp about it. around ten years or so ago i bumped a kerb with the back wheel of my car while parking and convinced myself i’d hit a cyclist (why a cyclist who knows?) to the point that i was checking local news etc to see if anyone had reported anything.
it’s actually a form of ocd (called “hit and run ocd”) and effects a lot of people, if that gives you any reassurancei’ve gotten better with it, and with controlling the intrusive thoughts side of my ocd, over time but it sometimes still crops up.

I admit I've retraced a route to check I've not left someone in the road. Or obsessively check my mirrors for people following me, because they would stop to help someone. Feel like a lunatic now, this is the first time I've 'spoken' about it.I'm pleased to hear you were able to get help. Not many people are aware that it's a form of OCD.
