Nikki at my apt today with T we talked about this very thing as I went through a weekend where it seemed like a basic conversation with a stranger and my brain would freeze. - I would stumble over my words etc...

I felt/feel very self conscious including when I'm in my apt with T. I also hate feeling needy and like I need to be constantly reassured that I'm ok. My T says that everyone feels a little self conscious at times and what people see about us is different than what we perceive. People don't pay attention to those moments like we think they do.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
