    A little experiment/quiz

    Hi guys
    I am reading a very interesting book and I wonder if you guys can enlighten me/answer a few questions for me - I am testing a hypothesis - dont worry I will explain later. Can you guys tell me:

    How many of you can remember - BEFORE You started drinking - SO as a child/young adult etc were you:

    1) Jumpy/sensitive to noise - easily frightened by noises? (ex you startled easily - more easily than other people by lightening/fireworks/loud noises/scary movies where people "jump out"/just tended to be jumpier than other people)? - now remember we all "jump" at loud noises, but try to remember if you maybe were a little more sensitive than others to loud noises? If you can remember?

    2) tended to be sensitive to light?

    3) Tended to be sensitive to touch - jumped if someone touched you unexpectedly?

    4) Tended to be depressed/down?

    5) Had anxiety/nervousness?

    Remember guys, this is BEFORE drinking...can you remember? I think this might be important so anyone who can help, please do.
    Thanks:h

    I felt this way after drinking, not before.

          I have always been very anxious/worrying. Even as a little, little kid. But none of the others.
          I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me

            Yes about the loud noises I used to bring my pillow to the fireworks at the park on the fourth of July, and yes I did get nervous at school. I still jump if someone touches me unexpectedly. Freak out watching scary movies so I just do not do it anymore.

            Am I some kind of a freak??

                Hmm, this theory is getting blown right out of the water...

                    nope for me... but I can say yes to most of those as an adult - especially teh day after I have had a drink...

                      Hi Jen

                      Yes to all, I think...
                      I even threw up almost every day at school!
                      I was a nervous kid and didn't have much support from my parents.

                      I don't know what you're reading but I do think we medicate our "pain" starting in childhood.

                      Love Ya!

                              Im not sure guys - I am reading this book that says that these characteristics are very common amongst people who develop alcohol problems and it might have to do with the wiring of the brain thing. And this could be why we drink - to self-medicate - and certain amino acids and other things can really help with this. I am still reading....but so many people are saying that they dont experience this, I am wondering about this hypothesis.,...will keep you updated though...
