Ever since I have saw the movie "the ring" I have been terrified of the girl in it. I alwyas think she will be around every corner I turn and is watching me when I sleep. I have tryed telling myself it is just a movie but it doesnt work. If I see a picture of her I'll be even more scared and not even be able to sleep.

How do I fix this! It is driving me insane.

OH.. Well you need to face your fears.

Oh the temptation...

How do I face my fears if what I am scared of does not exist?

Right. What you need to do, is at night, when everyone is in bed. Turn on your TV, but make sure it's all static. Sit there watching the static for 30 minutes or so.

Also, remember, don't watch video's. You could die in 7 days.

Our own minds are slightly sadistic in that it seems to "like" torturing us.

Before you try to sleep, shut your eyes and run through some mundane, boring task - such as washing up. Picture yourself washing every cup and saucer, every plate and bit of cutlery. Make sure you actually, in your mind's eye, wash and dry every single bit. If you start off with a great pile, you will never reach the end, you will fall asleep.

I used to have a similar problem (mine wasn't with "The Ring" though), I discovered that if I ran a 400 metre race from beginning to end in my mind, I never actually reached the finishing line, because I fell asleep. Gradually after several weeks, I began to get over my "little" problem. The reason I chose a 400m race was because I used to compete in track and field athletics and the 400m was my event, the race I would run through my mind was one that I had actually ran in real life.

By the way, do you have the DVD or video of The Ring? If so, get rid of it. Why torture yourself further?

Oh, I have the best picture to post here... *restrains self*

Seriously though, I think the problem is that you don't really believe she doesn't exist. There's a part of you saying, what if. Just remember - millions and millions of people worldwide have watched this movie and not a single person has died as a result, nor have they come face to face with such a girl. Remember - she doesn't exist, the girl is really just a young actress given scruffed up hair, and dressed up in a ratty gown. Your not scared of messy hair and crappy clothes are you?

The chick from the ring isn't real. Daveigh Chase, an actress, is real. She was playing a character, and apparently she did a good job if shes practically making you pee yourself 6 years later. I personally thought the dead chick in the closet was scarier

lol whats freaky is watching the movie then getting a phone call right after from some indian phone dealer person wanting to sell you blinds

dude its a movie you have a over reactive imagination take a valium and chill
