False memories are so confusing because they actually feel like real memories

Like I've just had a vivid memory of being given smelling salts and I can't forget the memory now but it has to be a false memory because I can't think of a time in my life where that might have happened

It's a bit tricky that is

Over the years , had so many people gaslight me..That the concepts of memories felt like a issue for me . Nowadays
I do not stress over the memories, any memories that cannot be connected to something someway ...just gets to be sidelined. . They live a life of irrevolency until , one day ( or not) they find their associated connected memories ...if not
,well am usually none the worse off. IMHO :roll:
Have have some humdingers of Long term connections to things come up that happened like 25 years before . Just out of the Blue . Sometimes I like to think that "when the mind is ready" the memories can make the connections, if you look for it.

I think caffeine is bad for me. It's been causing me to feel lightheaded and tingly. I love it though. I'm not really supposed to drink it though, my DR said that. I just need to cut down I guess. My medication is helping. I wasn't sure if it was at first. It turns out I was thinking people were talking about me and it sounded like it but most of the time they aren't. I still get it but now I know it's not true. Like id hear things about myself in strangers conversations and my family's conversations. I'm glad I'm not as scared. I was really scared before.

It's mind blowing (and not in a good way) when you retrieve the memory of what caused the initial trauma and it's even more mad when it turns out to be something you have done to someone else

It's a really weird experience to be able to now look back at my life and every single thing fits into place and makes perfect sense...still not in a good way

This isn't a great time for me ATM btw but I'm getting through it and I'm in close contact with my therapist

All I have to do is get up in the mornings, follow a daily routine, go to bed at night and repeat and repeat until this pain goes away

Does hidden chronic pain exists?

As in, the brain literally feels pain chronically somewhere, but the person isn't consciously feeling said pain but gets subtle symptoms as if the person is in pain..?

Yet, pain killers and anti-inflammatory, despite not consciously feeling any form of pain or flare up that usually prompts anyone to take said medication, ends up helping with the symptoms.

And at what point is this even possible??

I'd wonder if that might be something where different types of painkillers might have different effects?

Like, I'd expect opioids to work on psychosomatic pain, but not anti-inflamatories or acetaminophen. If the latter two work, I'd wonder if they're working via placebo.

In my younger years my chronic joint pain manifested only as chronic fatigue.
NSAIDS never alleviated the fatigue nor the joint pain when that became obvious.
I found aspirin to be a great febrifuge, but I didn't know why it was called a painkiller. Paracetamol is a good prophylactic for migraine once the sparklies set in, but again...no pain killing effects. Ibuprofen did reduce swelling but little else. I thought analgesia was a figmentary concept until I was given morphine.
I've always blamed some side effect of my connective tissue disorder for my unusual responses to many pharmaceuticals, but maybe it's all in my head.

The issues in my gut throughout my life was in my head.

Was -- because I finished it myself.
Made symptoms go away without dietary changes or gut related procedures and medications. Along with other things.


I want to hunt down more of those things, end it myself.
This is how or why I'm not ashamed of possible psychiatric aide. Not especially when I understand how it works first hand.


However, I still have a near nonexistent trust towards any external aide.
No amount of external assurance help because external is not what I trust nor want. I want certainty, I want answers.

But no human has that.
Only thing I have around that is through sheer self work.

No amount of feeling, no amount of venting...


The last time I trusted someone with this...
... It took over a decade. And I just had to do it myself in the end.

What's the point of that decade? Of 'waiting'? Of following someone's lead?
When it led me to nothing until I did something on my own without their knowledge.


I don't know.
I don't know how much of a theme this is going to be in my life.

Most people would've been happier or assured if they're living in my so called story.
Because there are nets. Because there are people who wants me to use those nets.

Except the nets entangled me than safely catch my fall. I don't fear me falling, they are.

It frustrates me to no end.
Despite knowing the knowledge that -- I work backwards, and their methods aren't well taught over because all they do is follow a template blindly...

I don't know Edna

I don't know what you mean by chronic pain in the head

Do you mean your head is registering some kind of pain that you're not physically feeling yourself

I solved the chronic feeling from the head that my body doesn't actually have but physically manifested.

But I'm musing about the other way around -- the head refuses to make someone feel what their bodies physically aches.
A hypothetical actual bodily ache that the body actually has yet the head manifests it as not having painful symptoms.
