OP

(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello othernon.

Yes, this is what happens to me as well. I have a condition where the flow of blood to my brain is impaired, which is probably what's causing it.

It's a safety mechanism gone wrong. My hand burns when I put in the fire, therefore don't put it in the fire, becomes I was wearing that shirt when I was in pain, therefore throw out the shirt. If I don't, I get horrible flashbacks that are overwhelming. I never thought about it being similar to PTSD, but I suppose it is.

I haven't even mentioned it to my doctor, as it's the least of my worries. I'm pretty badly disabled in my day to day living. Eating and washing are difficult.

It's still no fun when so many things I love eventually become repellent to me. Video games in particular are a very necessary escape from my day to day conditions.

Op, instead of thinking of it as "the least of your problems" maybe think of it as something that's less difficult than your day to day problems, but something you might be able to work on? I'm presuming there's not a lot you can do about your blood flow disorder (I'm not super familiar with it, honestly) but this is something you definitely can improve or at least have more control over. Your doctor will probably want you in therapy if you aren't already, and therapy is pretty awful until you start to realize that it's helping.
