Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Well, I am a psychotherapist and I know I use to have social skills and finesse or I wouldn't have been able to stay in private practice or be selected to run major programs in hospitals. My sister-in-law tells me I have no social skills left and she is also a psychotherapist. Well, I guess I never thought much about when it started or why til whoever it was that posted posted that comment. I haven't worked in 11 years and just thought it was from that. But 4 years ago my TSH was 3.94, in the normal range, so I never thought anything about it nor did my doctor. But I was also becoming more reclusive, unable to deal with situations, not as independent and outgoing as I once was. But would just say whatever came to my mind - no filter. Heaven forbid you ask my opinion on anything. Well, my next door neighbor made the mistake of doing just that. I will try to be brief. She was taking an psy. course on marriage and was afraid that her marriage was not doing well according to what she was learning in the course. She and her husband have been married for 26 years. So I asked her if she was running around on her husband or if he was running around on her. She very politely answered me no on both counts. I said well would you marry him again and she said yes. I said do you think he would marry you again and she said yes she thought so. I said well then I don't see any problems!!!! Everyone has their own personality and you are going to drive each other crazy at times but that is pretty normal, you just have to allow for that. When we got back into our house my husband said I can't believe you asked her if she was sleeping around. We had just moved into our house two months before. So that's what I mean. I also tend the cuss more, but that may really be just me. Grew up with that language. Deb Re: Plain Speaking Deb, I had to chuckle when I read your post, because I, too, had to work on social skills many times. LOL. In your situation, what makes you point to this starting about 4 years ago? What changes occured in your life 4 years ago? Who is telling you that you have no social skills? etc. Janie > > Someone posted not too long ago about not having a filter on what she says. I read it and just went on but I have the samething. I am told I have no social skills anymore. I just blurt out whatever I am thinking without filtering it first. This has been going on for about 4 years before that I was fine. Is there some connection to thyroid or adrenal problems and this plain speaking? > > Deb > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Debbie, the part about becoming reclusive is interesting. When I went to see a private doc about my thyroid he asked me if I was becoming reclusive. I was surprised but confirmed that I was. He firmly believes that it is a hypo symptom although I haven't seen it listed anywhere else.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 My brother got that way before he died from lung cancer. He wouldn't go to a resturant, even to visit family. I use to teach assertiveness training and got to where I didn't want confrontation, handle sales people, callers, etc. My husband does all that now. I am getting better but still consider myself fairly reclusive.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 me too, if I didn't have a husband I wouldn't see anyone. I go out only to buy groceries, the only other people I speak to (on the phone) are my daughter who lives in New Zealand and my cousin who also lives in England but a few hundred miles away.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Me too! I hate going out. We have 2 weddings and my husband's class reunion to go to in the next month. I am SSOOOOO dreading them all. If it were just me, I would find an excuse not to go. But my husband has to go to EVERYTHING! I can't wait to get my Armour (ordered from Myrxforless) and see if it helps this.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 <>I am the queen of reclusive now.<> Well you'll have to share your throne! LOL I go NO WHERE but work & home. I buy most everything I need on Ebay, I " socialize " on the groomer's email list but no where else. But then it stands to reason... When you have no energy to go anywhere, your adrenals are shot so you have no patience for anything, and you embarrass yourself with losing your train of thought in mid-sentence, sometimes even in mid-WORD... what's NOT to be reclusive about? I think I would find it more surprising if we were all outgoing. Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I do feel better but I really don't think that has anything to do with this speaking thing. It comes out before I have a chance to really think about it. It almost feels like a child - they just say whats on their minds. I am feeling better mostly due to treating my adrenals and the armour.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Amen !! I was told loosing your train of thought was a sign of stress. well of one kind maybe but no one I know would have said thyroid. I wish I had the ambition, energy to go out and work. I am in awe of you gals who can and I know some of you have to but what fortitude, what guts! Deb Re: Re: Plain Speaking <>I am the queen of reclusive now.<> Well you'll have to share your throne!
