My story

[Chris French]

Wow. Just wow. I have rarely ever been happier to find something in my whole life. When I was younger, I was caught up in an immense fantasy life where I visualized my cousins and I(and even my pets) as a race of super-gods called infinities that could basically do anything we wanted. Eventually I made the conscious choice to dispense with this fantasy, but I felt intense guilt about it for years that led to OCD like behavior and concern about subsequent (albeit less grand) fantasies. Pacing, shaking a rubber band (I called this "twirling"), flipping pages in a book, spinning, all were part of my kinesthetic movements. For over a year now though, the "maladaptive" part of my daydreams has faded, and while I still do utilize a daydream (essentialy various degrees of myself being more intelligent and succesfull financially, as well as interesting) it hasn't caused any major dysfunction. the only major distress has been continued anxiety and guilt about my infinite daydream, and fear of abstract thought and creative activities that I enjoy such as writing. However I now realize my fears are baseless. Also realized I am HSP which explains a lot and makes me feel better about some things. Anyway, thank you, thank you so much.

That's how I felt when I found this site. It makes me feel so much better :)
