So that other post got me thinking about myself quite a bit. My T tells me quite often that I act childish and sometimes facially I physically look only 2 or 3yrs old.

She asked me why I like feeling or acting like a child and I told her that I don't (that is the truth) and I don't even know that I am doing it. She said well what is it about Cats that needs to act like, look like, or feel like a kid?? I had no reponse. She re-iterated to me that she was not getting mad at me or trying to scold me in anyway,

She just wanted to bring it to my attention and she said that she will continue to do this in the future when it comes up. I am definitely guilty of the "pouty 2yr old" face, I can't deny that one! But...I don't know. She said that my voice even changes and that if she were blind she would think that she was in the room with a toddler sometimes. I don't babble or do any baby talk or anything. I guess maybe it is my tone and the way that I respond?

She has also told me that I have a developmental dalay, an emotional one so she understands why it happens.

I also have extremely bad PTSD. The part that I find really strange is the fact that all of my symptoms are those of Kids PTSD!! And I mean ALL of the symptoms not just a few! So if you actually read the symptoms of PTSD in kids you can see how this would be extremely emnarassing for someone my age. The only symptom slightly different is that I am not clingy to my parents but I AM clingy to my T but not as bad now as I was before. And yes I also have ll of the symptoms of adult PTSD as well.

It was because I thought that I had a serious medical problem and when I told my T about it (Most embarassing discussion with her ever!) She said "Cats I don't think there is an actual physical problem with you physically.....ummm Did you know that this happens sometimes to kids that have PTSD?? Great Atleast I know why. I just have no control over it and can't stop it. Freakin AWESOME!

I also curl up on the couch and take my shoes off. Is that child-like? I bite my nails too. I am afraid one day T is going to catch me sucking my thumb!! That would be VERY embarassing. I rarely do that and only when I am home alone and night and having scaring flashbacks. It's not intentional, just comes automatically. That I know yes is childih.

Well those are my 2 cents. Anyone have anything similar that they can share? I am looking forward to reading your thoughts on this and please feel free to add anything you would like!
