Hello new friends in wonderful, welcoming group T looked in forum to see if there was a thread about this but didn't find one. It is about exactly what it says. For example, I was prescribed a medicine once and the therapist told me that it would help stop the stuttering, rocking, tapping. etc... after I took it and came back...I told her that it had stop me from chewing my gums up when I took my top dentures out (10 years previously). Well I had been doing that for so long that I didn't even think or consider it to be an anxiety disorder? Why didn't I?
Those of you who read my introduction know about my thigh knots. As a child being molested I would tense up when my father entered the room. I have always been a tense person. And you know the rest of the story. But the deal is. How come I didn't consider that whole arching up. and then having to relax myself to lay back on my back a bad thing? I just thought it was a normal occurrence. Like walking? I didn't give it a second thought. Is it part of self-preservation? Would normal people think that it is abnormal right away?
I am feeling like it comes down to I cannot trust myself. I feel sad now
