    RR: Usually you'll be taken out of it considerably. Last time I had a big ol' revelation of myself I ended up fighting myself for for a few days. If it helps try to meditate on it and set aside some time to have the old think on it; hopefully since you have a new understanding on what's bugging you or whatever it is, you'll have somewhere to start from when it comes to getting and/or implementing a solution.

    Mm, true.

     

    Perhaps I should have explained some as to what I discovered? Might be best.

    So, a few of the folks I work with got to talking about how we had difficulty determining our lefts from our rights; this progressed into the topic of dyslexia and its various forms (of which one of my team has, as an aside).

    This led me to reading up on Dyspraxia in Adults, and hey, some of this describes me!

    Which means I now get to talk to some professionals, should I choose to. Won't that be a bundle of fun.

    Real life can be terribly addictive.

    And discovering something about oneself can feel unpleasant but is usually a good thing. Once I realised just how blindingly jealous I was of my brother, and how unnecessary it was, a great deal of my own issues became far more manageable.

    Wasn't unpleasant, however you'd describe the feelings surrounding an epiphany? That would be it, in a nutshell. Still haven't quite come back from it. ^_^

    Isn't it amazing how much pain some orthodontists expect us to tolerate, especially little kids?  They split the symphysis in the roof of my mouth, put spikes on the inside to train me not to tongue-thrust, all sorts of evil things.  Perhaps the real reason they prefer to do such work on us when we're young is that grown-ups would never put up with it!

    Wasn't exactly little kid, but I do see what you mean.

    The worst I had was a tooth that needed to be twisted around 90°, that was an experience.

    Word of warning: if you ever hear a doctor order someone to take arterial blood from you, RUN LIKE HELL IF YOU CAN. One of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life.

    Good to know. <_<

    I've had this done multiple times and it hurt no more or less than having blood drawn normally, although that may just be 'cause I'm unreasonably good at tuning out pain.

    *shrugs*

    Lucky. I've been desensitised by braces, but that pain tolerance doesn't transfer from mouth to arm. Sadly.
