Lights?
Sun, 10/29/2006 - 22:57Howdy everyone!
A few months ago, my boyfriend changed the light bulb in the kitchen. There was something different about that light bulb, and I hated it. I would have to case out the kitchen before I walked in to it, and it would make me feel very strange. After a few weeks I was ok with evil light bulb and it doesn't bother me.
Yesterday, he changed the light bulb in the bathroom. It isn't as bright as the other one I think. And once again, I curse the stupid thing. I'll stand at the bathroom door and I have to muster all my energy to go in there. And I make sure all my business in the bathroom is done as quickly as possible!
I don't have sezuires due to devil light bulbs, it just makes me feel very strange ...
Does anyone else have devil / evil light bulbs?
P.S. My boyfriend thinks I am nuts cause I am constantly mubbeling 'I hate that stupid light bulb.' hahahah!

Hi Marianne,
Well I think in both cases of evil light bulbs, the replacement bulbs have been less in watts.
I am the same, it makes me really nervous. And I start thinking, 'I have to get out of here!'. I dont think anything has actually happened as far as a sezuire or similar, but there is just something very wrong with these light bulbs and my poor eye balls and brain gets freaked out. haha

I have had the light bulb problem, but for me it mostly happens in super bright stores like WalMart or Target, makes you feel extra jumpy almost, like hair-trigger scared like.....

Is it that the light is too bright? What is it that you are "feeling?" The reason that I am asking, and this may seem strange is that there are certain rooms in the house that I live in where the lights really bother me. Some of them, I think might be(and this is my "theory") because they are too bright and for example I might be going from a room where there is a 60 watt bulb to a room where there is a 100 watt bulb and it seems like my eyes get "startled" and it makes me feel "funny" or "weird." Sometime making me "nervous" to the point I feel like I am going to have an anxiety/panic attack. Let me know please, I am really curious. Marianne
