There was a case where a child with reactive attachment disorder would scream and lash out at strangers in public. This made it very difficult for the parents to take the child anywhere. They couldn't go to the grocery store or parks without the child having a major meltdown and scaring people around them. The parents were constantly on edge, fearing how the child would react in any given situation.
In a particular family, a child with reactive attachment disorder would try to isolate themselves from the family. They would hide in closets or under beds for hours. When the family tried to comfort the child, they would either push them away violently or just stare blankly. This behavior was very distressing for the family as they felt helpless in trying to form a normal bond with their child.
Well, I know of a case where a child who had reactive attachment disorder due to early neglect in an orphanage. Once adopted, the adoptive parents sought professional help immediately. The child received cognitive - behavioral therapy. After some time, the child started showing signs of improvement like being more responsive to affection and less aggressive. It was a great success.
A child with this disorder once set small fires in the house. It was really scary as it put the whole family at risk. The child didn't seem to understand the danger or the consequences of their actions.
One success story is about a child named Tom. He was initially very withdrawn and had difficulty forming attachments. Through intensive family - based therapy, his family learned to be more responsive and affectionate. Tom gradually started to trust and open up. He now has healthy relationships with his family and peers.
I once saw a teen who would skip school frequently and engage in vandalism, like spray - painting on public walls. He didn't care about the consequences and was defiant when authority figures tried to stop him. This is consistent with conduct disorder behavior. Usually, this kind of behavior can lead to problems in his future if not addressed properly. For example, it can make it difficult for him to hold a job or have healthy relationships later in life.
One horror story could be a person with borderline personality disorder constantly fearing abandonment. They might lash out at their partner over minor things, like if the partner was a few minutes late home. Their extreme reactions, such as screaming and throwing things, can create a really chaotic and terrifying home environment for everyone involved.
One example is in a mobile game where a player thought they were just buying a one - time cool - looking weapon for a few dollars. But later, they found out it was part of a subscription - like system where they were being charged every week without realizing it clearly at first. It was really a horror story for their wallet.
One diarrhea horror story is when I was on a long road trip. There were very few rest stops around. Suddenly, I got a really bad stomachache and diarrhea hit me hard. I was sweating and praying that we would find a place soon. It was so uncomfortable and embarrassing as I was with friends.
There are quite a few trampoline horror stories. For example, some trampolines have a net around them to prevent falls. But in one case, a child got tangled in the net in a very bad way. The child panicked and in the struggle, got a minor head injury. Also, there have been cases where trampolines with worn - out springs have caused unexpected bounces. A person could be jumping normally and then suddenly be launched much higher than expected due to a faulty spring, leading to a hard fall and potential fractures.
There have been stories about facial recognition systems in some stores. A customer was wrongly identified as a shoplifter due to a glitch in the facial recognition software. The store security confronted the innocent customer in a very public and embarrassing way, causing a great deal of distress to the person. This shows how biometrics can go wrong and have a negative impact on people's lives.
In some pledgeships, new members are subjected to intense isolation. For instance, they might be locked in a small, dark room for hours as part of some 'initiation' process. This not only causes extreme psychological distress but can also be very dangerous if something were to happen to them while they were locked away, like a medical emergency.
