Why do I feel like my sensation has lessened?

Posted by macaroli @macaroli, May 12 2:17pm

It seems like my skin is not as sensitive to touch as it used to be. I often engage in self-harm and I am worried that this is the reason for it. Can repeated strikes to the neck or head lead to diminished sense of touch and temperature? Can it be a sign of injury?

I have no trouble maintaining balance. There is no muscle weakness. I do not experience pain or tingling anywhere through my body. I would like to know the reason for why I am feeling this way.

I do the same thing. Recently having several health issues out if nowhere. mri found brain bleed and have to see neurosurgeon. Its deep and in the sensory area.

I suddenly started having all kinds of issues. Kidney, liver, gi, neurological, heart attacks. Stroke symptoms. Headaches.

I already see a psychiatrist but suddenly my anxiety has skyrocketed. I get angry easier, feel hopeless...

My vision has changed and my balance is off sometimes. When I'm stressed i cant even speak correctly. Now I speak low, slow and mumble.

I see neurosurgeon for followup to see if there are any more changes.

I also now have to see urologist, cardiologist, rheumatologist, gastrointerologist.

I feel like a child again cutting and now hitting my head so hard ill have giant knots. I can't deal with the stress in my life. I was getting violent so I started taking it out on myself, not the man causing my pain. Clearly he needs to go, but now I'm in a horrible position where I need help with the kids and babysitters. I have a very small support system. I feel helpless.

To add to this. Its clear not everyone understands why one would be driven to this.

I see a psychiatrist and was put on a mood stabilizer. They help but I stopped them. I didn't realize how much harm I was causing myself. I was blacking out with rage and going after the 2 people pushing me to do it. Which in their minds made them the victim. So I decided not to give them the satisfaction. I don't feel guilt or anything after. I dont feel better when I do it. Im just so pissed and hurt it takes my mind off it at the time.

Id suggest getting a psychiatrist. Therapist. And an mri before it gets worse.

Im 36. I have a 2 and 5 year old. Thats my reason for living. I know I need to get rid of the one causing me pain. Life is hard and not all of us were taught how to cope correctly. And not all of us were dealt the same hand. You got this.
