>Strange? That? Not a bit of it. Here's strange for you: I have packages of peanuts in my pantry, but I can't eat them. Too many calories, don't you know, too high in fat, so I just can't eat them. Unless I put them on ice cream, in which case there's no problem! THAT, my friend, is strange...
So much of what you wrote I relate to entirely. The part about touch especially. I'm just back from therapy, so I can't say much -- too raw -- but I will tell you that touch is scary as hell, too, for me. One night in ED group, I said how much I wanted to be held, and another woman offered to hold me. I let her, and it was terrifying -- I think because I wanted it so very much, or maybe I just don't know at all what it was. Oh, well...
Gotta go -- that restarted the waterworks...
