Yeah, that sounds sound but it's the way I'm wired. It's just one of a host of interrelated issues which need to start being addressed and I think there's only a very limited amount you can do to alleviate your own psychological issues with logic and autosuggestion, unfortunately. So, I think I definitely need to get off my ass and seek professional advice/help before I implode.
The human psyche is a fascinatingly complicated thing though. What I'm most amazed at is that it can cause actual physical manifestations, like pain or a rash and even though you know exactly what's causing it you can't control it. It's kinda weird when you think about it, it's like there's a separate entity inside your mind which controls certain functions without your knowledge or control.
Yes, I think we'll have plenty to talk about at the doctor's office.
