Making up what you believe goes both ways. I had that problem. It's not really a disorder, just a pain, as you've seen. I saw a therapist and got more in tune with myself, what hurt, what felt good, etc. What you believe is not supposed to work as a shield, I don't think, but more like a compass. You let it get knocked about being used as a shield and the compass part can't work as well anynmore.
