Stop Touching Her!

PDA is public display of affection.

I've actually recently gotten into a very difficult exercise program - I have been contemplating the benefits of a position in the Fire Department, and my only shortcoming seems to be a completely lack of weight - muscle or fat (this probably has something to do with the fact that I don't feel the need to eat very much). So I am hoping that I become warmer in my environment.

As for the heart beats synchronizing, I do still trust the source from which this information came, however, until I can find my own verification of this, I shall file it away under the placebo effect.

Nevertheless, I do notice that if someone is there, I rarely have night terrors, nor do I wake up in the middle of the night, nor have issues getting to sleep, etc. I feel better in the morning, and I'm more likely to be in a good mood the next day.

Yes and even then without the law I was looked a funny way whenever I even put my arms around the guy's shoulder. It made me feel very insecure about being touched or even touching back. In fact, I as I got older, I got more uncomfortable like it was whore-ish to let myself be touched by someone of the opposite sex...still something I have trouble with.



Does this have something to do with competing with those of the opposite sex? If it does, I really do understand and it's not just about strength but rather being ridiculed by the opposite sex for even being stronger.



That's great b/c sometimes I do depending on how I feel. I use to love to sleep outside and I really can't remember much of what happened after that only that I thought I'd be killed.

I luve being outdoods and to even sleep. Yet everytime I do, that memory comes back. It isn't even logical when I wake up and it's just a bug that touched me. I have to compromise everytime I get these silly feelings I play on some music outdoors to remind me of where I am in the present.

I feel similarly: beyond some very platonic contact and shaking hands, I really do not understand why people touch each other in public all the time. Seeing a couple walking down the street with their arms around each other and the guy's hand in the girls' back pocket will ruin my day and make me feel physically sick. I've learned to accept that some people hold hands and hug (though it's completely unnecessary), but anything beyond that still strikes me as completely inappropriate. Why on earth would anyone want to air something so intimate in public? It's repulsive.

As a child I abhorred all touch of any kind - although I did accept that things like the dentist and doctor were necessary (I think it is touch that doesn't have a non-emotional purpose that bothers me) and I don't recall being fussy about that. If someone put their hand briefly on my arm, for instance, I could feel an imprint of their hand on my arm, burning, for minutes afterwards - though it was definitely a psychological, not physical, reaction. I've gotten better as I've gotten older, mainly for reasons of politeness, but still... when someone who doesn't know me well enough to know how I feel comes forward to hug me... I have to think quickly to hide the appalled expression on my face and quell the urge to recoil. It's really awkward.

I've been on a 24hr cardiac monitor, 42 is the reading from the monitor, my MD even threatened me with a pacemaker if I fainted again. yes it's the vagues nerve, it can lower the heartbeat but not raise it, I can lower mine by inhaling deeply, i can make it rise and lower with each breath.
My thyroid level is normal T3,T4 hormones but I wouldn't be surprised if I was less sensitive to the hormones than most people, the cramps are more likely due to reduced circulation with me


I'm realy intrigued by Alice1822's low heart rate while sleeping as I have the same thing. I wake up really slowly, and it's easy for me to pull a muscle getting out of bed before I get my heart rate up and I have trouble with leg cramps and restless leg syndrome, especially if I'm sleep deprived
