I've rethought a lot of how I approach living in physical reality since reading this comment and I believe you're correct in your suppositions. Thanks for mentioning it. I suppose it explains why I spend so much time standing on my head.

I ...Have you heard of Sensory Integration Disorder? I often wonder if it's related in any way to those parts of bipolar that just make you move move move. My middle son was diagnosed with it when he was 2, and had to go through occupational therapy. Basically it's a nervous system disorder, where your brain doesn't get enough stimulation from the nerves and makes you have a disconnect. This causes people to have all sorts of strange hyper-reations to things. Often in kids it can be exhibited as severe dislike of certain textures or temperatures, and can cause problems with food or clothing. The treatment for it is to provide extra stimuli by putting pressure on joints - cracking fingers, pulling and pushing on your wrists, standing on your head, hanging by your hands. If you catch the condition early enough and train your nervous system with all that stimuli, it eventually fully develops and the SID goes away. Unfortunately, you have to catch it REALLY EARLY because your nervous system solidifies in childhood. I'm sure I had it when I was a kid because I had the same symptoms as my son, but no one knew about SID when I was little. Thankfully, we caught Ambrose's in time and it really helped him.<br /><br />Long explanation, I know - it's just that the arm position you mentioned sounded like a SID thing - putting pressure in such a way to calm your brain, which is what all those exercises I mentioned are supposed to do for kids with SID.<br /><br />I'm glad you found a good writer's group. That's so essential. I don't have a group that I go to, but I have a group of dedicated editors and beta-readers that I trust, and we all swap manuscripts for editing.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057129053678251717.post-66199025160722462252012-04-09T21:23:09.786-07:002012-04-09T21:23:09.786-07:00I love Tenacious D. & I love playing The Metal...I love Tenacious D. & I love playing The Metal on Guitar Hero III even more....https://www.blogger.com/profile/15976878831746650620noreply@blogger.com
