In reply to update- am I psycho?, posted by LlurpsieNoodle on June 20, 2007, at 9:19:37
In times of transition, many fears and other disturbing thoughts can surface-- as, maybe, a type of hypervigilance about whether you're okay, and still in one piece. As they come to mind, they raise questions and lead you to take account of things that are disturbing. Or disturbing thoughts and feelings start to assume more density than in normal times.
I'm glad that QuieT sees that, and can tell you. I hope it helps, in a small way, that he can confirm your belief that you're not psycho-- and that frightening thoughts don't mean that something is terribly wrong. The fear might, as I think Dinah was suggesting, lead to your focussing on sensations that are one normally ignores--which then take on the worst meanings-- even if, in many cases, it's the focus that gives rise to the strangeness and otherness that you feel about yourself.
You're okay, Llurpsie-- more then okay-- and you'll get used to your new home and find new routines.
