Not sure this really warrants a post, but I wanted to let y'all know what's going on with my head.
I've been learning and remembering some interesting l'il factoids as I've been filling my therapist in on my history. The biggest, and to me, most interesting revelation is that I have *always* shied away from physical contact. My mom mentioned on Monday (my parents sat in for a session to help with the stuff that I can't remember) that even as a newborn I hated being held, touched, doted on, whatever you'd like to call it. I was just an unhappy, difficult child.
Also, I was always under the impression that I had ADHD, and that's why I'd been prescribed Ritalin for much of my early scholastic career. Turns out that my therapist (yes, my parents took me to a child psychologist
) felt that my inability to focus was the manifestation of what she believed to be social anxiety disorder.
Kind of interesting that even at an early age I was as fucked up as I am now. Takes a bit of the sting away to think that I didn't have much of a choice in the matter.
Fascinating for me, probably not for anyone else, but hey, you clicked my topic. That means you care, even if only a little bit.
