Hi,
I posted about this year's ago because it was freaking me out. I got over it but I'm worried again.
This isn't an illness, it's more like a thing I can do. I seem to be able to voluntarily release adrenaline into my body. I think it's adrenaline because my heart rate goes up a bit and my pupils go wider. I discovered this probably 10 years ago, and just thought oh, that's interesting. But as my HA has increased its got me thinking. I'm so worried that by doing 'it' I might damage my heart or my brain. I have those cherry spot things on my body, so I've decided that it's the adrenaline that's causing it. My legs have been a bit twitchy the last few days, and again I've decided that's what's causing it. I know it sounds so weird, and I know people will just say 'well don't do it ', but it's one of those urge things, where the more you think about it the harder it becomes not to.
I went to my doctors about it a few years ago, she put a little monitor on my finger and noticed my HR did increase very slightly. She said well it won't harm you either way, so don't concern yourself with it type thing. I told my psychologist about it at the time and she said the same thing and I just accepted it. But now I'm back to 'doing' it and convincing myself I'm causing all sorts of damage to my body. I don't even know what it is!
Can anyone help? X
