Nerves

Day 223

When I get anxious, I wring my hands. Sometimes I don't even realize that I'm doing it. Apparently, I have exhibited this behavior all my life, but I only learned that a few years back. It was pointed out to me that I was wringing my hands nervously in a home video when my dad asked me a question and I was put on the spot. I was about 5 years old in that video. Twenty four years later, and still with the hands. Except now I do this when my hands are hurting from the fibromyalgia as well because it makes it feel better for a second or two. So when I'm seen doing this, I'm either really anxious or in a whole lot of pain, and both of those options totally suck.
