A big wet kiss?
Shudder. Shudder.
Ooooooh. Iiiiccckkk.
Am I the only person in the world that would rather... Well, never mind.
I don't generally do anything at all with the sensations.
But I'm guessing from the responses that my experience might exceed the high end of normal. :( Oh dear. My therapist was just trying to make me feel better. :((
Oh well. I exceed the high end of normal on migraines and IBS and nerves as well.
I've noticed on Psychological Babble that people seem to be oriented to experiential causes of trouble in the same way that the medication board seems to be oriented to physical causes. I think I'm a bit out of step with that. I see my problem as a jumble of frayed wires and poor circuit design. A short waiting to happen. And until they find the way to fix the wiring, this old house just needs extra special care, in the form of therapy and stability in lifestyle and low stress choices. Maybe that's why I'm in the distinct minority of thinking that, for me, therapy is forever. That if I manage to live through the loss of my therapist, I'll have to find another one to provide the same function. Hmmmm... house wiring analogy. Some sort of safety thingy. I'm not mechanical. Because there is something physically wrong. Down to the migraines, the IBS, the overstimulation, the meltdowns, the extreme end of arousal, and so on. I can't be totally fixed. I need maintenance until they find a way to fix the cholinergic system without major side effects.
But I was probably useful to the tribe in detecting danger, so they protected me and made sure I survived.
