Thank you so much!

I'm learning about my unconscious actions and this is one of them. It took something really out of the norm to even be aware of it, and now that I am and there's explanation that fits me to the "T", I think it's wild.

Yes to the abusive childhood and I've found that to potentially be a link in others as well... I think there's a deep psychological "feel good" there in that a desperate child found that as a comfort...

Thank you for explaing re: SAM! I didn't know that...of course, that doesn't say much because I know next to nothing of these things...lol. It just makes really good sense in application to me, ya know? I feel that acute, prolonged stress started at a young age can and does change one's body and mind in several ways...

Thank you so much!
