Darkside/lightside | ADHD Information

I totally have a dark side! I've always had some sort of morbid curiosity about normally creepy things. (except spiders- huge phobia)

Although, I had a friend who was a Mortician and gave me a tour of the mortuary including the basement where the "work" is done and I got super wigged out! That was a little tooooooooo morbid!

I can't watch scary movies because then I can't take a shower or come home to a dark house comfortably for a long long time!

I do make art dolls that are quite strange though (one is my avitar). No blood or anything, they're just always sad or scared or something. Also have always written stories about sweet little characters that always get killed in the end.

None of it is serious to me at all which makes my dark side my light side?

I never thought of it as an ADD thing but I've never had an explanation for it either!

 

I've always been aware of my darkside, it was what helped build a drinking problem then progressed to a drug problem. Thankfully my Goodside came to the rescue

Since I was really little I've loved anything scary and it jusr grew as I got older. My little girl likes scary things too.

Fascinated yes, but rarely can I sit still for a movie and the times that I have, I have nightmares. Then again, I had nightmares over Swiss Family Robinson. AARRRGGGG!!!!! Edgar Allen Poe, I have to be in the right mood or he trips me out. I also have a strong belief in God but because of my extreme mood swings I definately can get dark, very dark
                             
ADD thing? Hard for me to say. ADHD/BPI also love horror movies. Most 32 year old women I know don't so, it has become a bonding thing with my 15 yr old step-son. I have always liked darker things, halloween is my favorite holiday, although my birthday is 6 days from it so it might be that. Gothic/medievil/fantacy books, artwork, video games, etc. LOVE IT!As I was watching the SCI-FI channel today I couldn't help but wonder if my fascination with fantasy and some dark things is part of my ADD.  I'm sure there are many others who experience this kind of split personality.  Of course I believe strongly in God but I also have this fascination for things like horror movies & books, ghosts, some dark art,  some Edgar Allen Poe.  I also love Halloween time and get a thrill out of being truely terrified.   Is there anyone else that has this interest?  I always wanted to ask this and hope I can get some interesting replies.  Thanks, Dee Yes, love horror movies. I'm not really into occult, but like to scare myself for some reason. None of my friends like horror movies, so I often find myself watching thrillers and horror movies at home BY MYSELF!!!  What am I thinking?? Thanks so much for the replies.  Most of my friends aren't into creepy stuff either.   I know it sounds strange but I actually like to get scared.  I guess it's kind of like the feeling you get on a rollercoaster in a weird way.  You're terrified and you say, "No way I'm going to do that again", but you go back for more, looking for the same feeling or rush.  I don't like blood or gore though, just to get the wits scared outa me.  I also like to read books and watch films on the supernatural(hauntings and haunted houses).  I've been to quite a few of those haunted hayrides at Halloween time too but I think I suprise the spooks more then they suprise me.  One thing I don't believe in is Aliens.  I tell people that believe in them that unless a spaceship lands in my backyard and one pops out and shakes my hand I'll never believe they exist.  Ghosts and the supernatural, now that's a whole different ballpark, strange fascination or not, I'm hooked.

I most definitely have a dark side....I am a devout Christian, but I write dark poetry, I love tattoos, I wear tons of black. I'm even drawn to the darker side of my religion....spiritual warfare, etc. I'm not real big on horror movies, as I am very squeamish, but I like horror books. Just my two cents....lol

For some reason I have a fascination with crime. I haven't watched CSI, but if I read non-fiction it's ususally about solving a difficult murder or finding a serial killer. Maybe it's because my life is so tame. The ADD in me needs some exitement! i loathe horror movies. i can't watch them at all. i hate violence too. that's a lot of the reason i barely watch tv because every time i turn it on it seems someone is either shouting or shooting someone and i hate it (it's probably the slightly autistic side of me but i can't bear it).

i loathe the aggression and anger and the dismissive degradation of people. and things to do with evil or demonic possessions etc. no, really no, no, no --- cannot, cannot, cannot and do not like them don't get any pleasure from being scared...

that's not to say i don't have a dark side tho! i am well aware of my dark side and general megalomaniacal, evil tendencies.

That movie 'Final Destination' scared me. It rewally played on my superstitious mind set. I was too scared to drive out of the carpark for fear of setting off a change reaction that would lead to my final demise!!!!!

Although I usually avoid the blood and gore type of horror I admit I do love a good man vs. man horror.  Not freddie kruger type but real people fighting other real people.  Like the movie "road trip" where some kids play with a man over the CB radio and end up having one ticked off maniac chasing them across the country.  Not much blood but a lot of scares.

I like zombie movies - but for the laughs not the scares.  It's hard to be scared of creatures that stumble along at a few feet an hour.  But "28 days later" scared me a lot - it was so high paced and energized that it kept me on the edge of my seat.

I am not scared of ghost and ghoulies - but people scare me a great deal.  I've often told people I'd spend a week in a graveyard as long as they don't let living people in to harm me.  The dead have nothing to be afraid of - while the living have a great deal to fear.

I think I am all darkside. LOL not sure if I have a lightside but if I do it likes to stay hidden most of the time. 

Even as a kid I always wanted to be the bad guy no matter what game we played. The good guys just weren't interesting to me.
I don't have any fasination for the dark side at all but I like to do stupid stuff that scares me like hanggliding and riding my motorcycle. Maybe the same thing, different method. ?

I'm not superstitious in the slightest.  I actually found "final destination" not bad but no way was it scary.  I liked the odd ways that "death" got to the kids.  I think it was the second one (not sure) but one of them had death come from a glass plate crushing the kid on the street as it plumeted down.  Very yicky and bloody but what an interesting way to go!  That and the wooden post from behind.  Cool but yawn - no scaree sorree!!

We are all free agents in this chaos we call life.  Nobody pulls the strings - unless we truly want to make it that way and become our own worst enemy. 

I look at life like pinnochio after he realizes he's clumsy but free.

"I have no strings to hold me down

to make me fret - to make me frown!

I've no strings to bother me...

I have - no - strings - on - me!" (or something like that I pulled it from a 20 some year memory LOL)

We don't have strings except in our heads.  It's like elephants in india.  All they need is a string around an adult elephant's foot and they treat it as if it was an unbreakable rope.  All in the brain you know.

Sure they're not saftey chains?How do you cut the strings? I love the Pinnochio idea.  I know what you mean about the strings.  I finally feel like I don't have any.  My whole life my Mother held my strings because I allowed it and was immobilized by ADD that I had no knowledge or control over.  Now I feel like I have more control over my own life and the choices I make.  I may be shaky and clumsy sometimes but my life and my choices are my own.

P.S.
I don't like the gore either on horror movies, just like the scarey feeling.  I don't watch demonic or blood and guts type horror movies.  Just the kind that make you want to pull your sheets up over your head.  The ones that make you ponder your own mortality.   lostmyshoe38809.4969675926
