Have you ever been really scared?

I got mugged by a small group of teenage girls in London a couple of years ago, one of them pulled a knife out and I just totally wet myself I was that frozen with fear. They were trying to get my wallet and phone but actually gave up because I just couldn’t function. I’d gone there on a Saturday, on my own on the train and it turned out to be one of the worst days of my life. The police took so long to arrive that I basically had to go back to the train station straight after I’d finished talking to them and I could feel every person I walked past, looking at me knowing that I had wet myself. I’ll literally never go to London again.

I do however feel blessed that I wasn’t physically harmed as I have read so much about knife crime, it’s so, so scary.

That must have been a terrible experience, being mugged by those girls! I can easily understand you were terrfied by the experience. The good thing was that you were not hurt physically, and that they obviously also didn't get your mobile phone or wallet. The only damage done was perhaps you wetting your pants, which of course was embarrassing enough. I can easily understand you have no wishes to go to London again!

Yes, it could have been so much worse I suppose, it would have been horrible to have got hit, kicked or stabbed. I didn’t think I could be so scared!@Tintin18

@Strongtea I can easily understand that you never could be that scared. A crazy question, did you actually notice that you were wetting yourself, or did you just afterwards notice that you pants were wet?

I didn’t really notice that it was happening for the first few seconds. I remember almost not being able to hear anything apart from my heartbeat. But my senses did come back to a certain extent quite quickly and I can remember the look on their faces quite clearly.@Tintin18

@Strongtea it seems that you were quite close to fainting. You didn't at first notice what you were doing, and you didn't hear or notice anything from the surroundings. Luckily it didn't go that far, your sences came back to you. Have you afterwards had any nightmares about it? Hopefully you didn't then wet the bed! 😉

Yes, I have had some nightmares and some issues with bed wetting since but it’s been a few months since that’s happened.@Tintin18

@Strongtea great that you have not continued wetting the bed! 👍

Yes, it wasn’t a very cool part of my life. I hope that’s all over now, it’s a big reason why I don’t want to visit London again.@Tintin18
