[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 53906, member: 3783"] Yes - I find that my BiPolar (BP)/Borderline (BPD)/PTSD?? daughter has a HUGE fascination and obsession with all things morbid and scary. She would BEG to watch the horror films (we would refuse except for a few TV-edited films), she writes poems and songs about death, and I have found her on the internet (when she was still home) playing some horrible game with falling blades. She spent one week straight watching educational documentaries which happened to be about horrific topics such as terrorists, death row inmates, serial killers, etc. She was also starting to ask her sisters to take her picture while she "played dead" and then ask them to pose as if they were dead. Once she was at a busy business office and laid down in the middle of the floor with her eyes closed and said, "I'm Dead!". Hopefully this is all related to her feeling suicidal and these types of behaviors will go away after extensive treatment. We were getting concerned because this obsession was becoming more pronounced and involving others. She is getting help at a PRTC now. I know I enjoyed going to scary movies in high school with my friends but was never ever this obsessed with things of this nature and I even sustained the loss of a good friend at the age of 18.
