I used to tickle myself really softly to fall asleep.

Lucky, I stil do that. Just with the very tips of your fingers right? Buffy, I read what you wrote about explaining a panic attack, for me I feel my heart race, feel very trapped, talk so quickly (not even sure I'm making sense) and my mind is racing the whole time how do I get out of here?. Is that what you experience?

Yes Mar, pretty much the same. I have to sit close to doors when in a room in case I have to bolt....start breathing hard, room starts to close in on me, feel like everyone is looking at me, I feel my shoulders start to clench and get hot, my face gets hot, body cold, heart races, feel sweaty, I try and talk myself out of it, only makes it worse.....then it passes and I feel almost euphoric....it is some sort of adrenalin issue...lite and flight gone crazy....it isn't as bad now that I am older, when I was a kid it was really bad and my mother didn't understand nor did I. I was just concidered overly sensitive...which is true also, but the panic attacks have really held me back in life, I think.

so true Buffy, I think my panic attacks along with my low self esteem have held be back from my full potential as well. I willing to bet though, like me, your a damn good actress and everyone thinks your just so outgoing and confident, which couldn't be further from the truth. Funny how we can fool everyone but ourselves

yes Mar, without the insecurities, I would have probably tried out acting....haha....although, I do alot of it now, the pay would have been better the other way around. It has been a battle my whole life. I always think that God must not have wanted me in something that might have been harmful to me.....I probably would have been a casualty....there are no explanations for them, I had a good childhood, etc...nothing out of the ordinary except for moving alot....I think it is a chemical imbalance more than insecurities, maybe the panic attacks have caused the insecurities...sort of like the chicken before the egg issue...ha....

gargykath. that's funny about calling your cats.

i don't call my cats but if they are laying in my lap while i'm watching the telly or even just in the same room and if a cat comes on the screen, they perk up and watch it intently and sometimes go right up to the screen and start making funny little squeaky noises like they're trying to communicate. Happens every time. This despite animal experts saying animals don't recognise themselves on telly or in picture. what do they know?

Simey! You tickle yourself to sleep too! I have never known another one to do this and yes, only with tips of fingers ever so lightly. I do not do it so much anymore but when bf does it to my back I am in heaven. Maybe others do it too- I just have never asked anyone but he thinks I am weird.

I do not have panic attacks but I do have to be facing a window when in a mtg- and the blinds need to open to see out.

I love to sweat. Just came from a 30 minute sauna. I have read it is the voluntary induction of a fever. It just feels so good to sweat out all the poisons. I used to be bulimic and liked to purge so I guess sweating is the next best thing. Ok, TMI.

I love having my hair done by a hairdresser but not in the salon, cos I do panic and feel uncomfortable in the salon's -(somehow feel trapped as hair only half cut or styled so I can't run out like that can I - I have an image to maintain!!!).

I love head massages too.

Okay, here goes another: Since I was a kid I've been afraid of butterflies and lady bugs (mind you I've worked up close and personal with bears and sharks, snakes, lizards, tarantulas, massive cockroaches and many more....????go figure!!).
So about ten years ago a butterfly came and landed right on my finger while fishing in the middle of a lake??? strange!! at that moment I got over my fear. As for the lady bugs, they still really creep me out!!!
oh yes....I'm also really afraid of ghosts????? hence nightly drinking while living alone??? Odd, very!!! Think it may have something to do with too many horror movies as a kid!

Lucky and Simey, I just read about the tickling and got a mental image, I had to laugh out loud!!! That is funny

oh yes, one more thing, I cannot look into windows at night, even if my eyes dart to a window I have to look away immediately in fear of seeing something???? Ugh, where do these things come from ???

I lick my Doritos before I will eat them. All of the flavoring must be licked off and then I can eat the chip.
