Hyperfocus,
The weirdest coincidence. My pdoc reaffirmed the SP affect. He has never done that, nor has that been a part of our work. Some social anxiety has, yes. Very strange because I have tried to diminish it so, and in fact, run away from it.
Do you know any good reading or links re: SP?
What is the current theory (ies)?
I did *group* cbt for this. Individual cbt.
Sigh. It only makes sense that when I'm off meds, original or some variant symptoms emerge. Like I could dye my hair red for years, but between treatments the roots would be brown. Honestly, grey.I tried to hedge by saying, oh, it's not so bad. Doesn't quite work, though does it?
I mean yes and no. I can talk to complete strangers. I can sign my name in front of others, like write a check. But it's still showing up. It still underwrites my decisions.
*a rose by any name
