I was doing some reading on something completely different when I came across some info about SPD/SID (not sure if those are the same thing...guess I didn't read all that far...lol).

Anyway, the more I read the more it started to sound like the first possible explanation for my "quirks". So I ended up finding this site, and hopefully someone can give me an idea if i'm on the right track.

Basically, I sometimes feel just completely, uncomfortable in my own skin. And I mean that literally....physically uncomfortable. It's like I can't get into a position that's comfortable. Instead I'm too aware of what each individual part of me is doing and touching, and it somehow just doesn't feel right. It's not that it hurts, it just irritates me enough that it's hard to focus on anything else. Sometimes I feel really miserable because of it and just want to crawl back into bed and not talk to anyone.

To give a specific example...tonight I was playing tennis but kept finding myself really bothered by how my pinky felt on the grip of the racquet. My pinky was a little too small to wrap around the grip so it stuck out a bit, leaving a small space between it and the next finger over. Little beads of sweat as well as air was getting in the gap and I started missing shots because I was focusing on that rather than the game. It was like no matter what I did, I had to give a bit of my focus to my pinky. As someone that's ADD, I don't like to share my focus anymore than I have to! lol

Anyway, is this something that could be SPD, or should I continue on in finding a home for my quirks? I hope I've explained this well enough...it's always hard for me to put into words exactly what I'm feeling.

Thanks for reading!
