Hello, you replied to my story about my phobia of wrist and I'm glad
that we both know we're not alone. Like you said, we have many of the
same problems. When I worte my post, i was hoping someone else with
my problem would reply to it. Even though I've read of other rare
cases of people talking abou tit online, I still wanted to actually
communicate with them. Not just read about it, ya know? I'm sorry
that you have to face the same things I do, but it's easier for me to
know that there are others, so I hope it helps you too. Just know
that things can change and some day , hopefully, we both wat have
this irrational fear.
