recognizing my emotions

The other night I had my first concious moment of connecting my pain to my emotional state. I was having a hard conversation with the person I am currently dating and was having a really hard time expressing myself(this is quite normal for me as I've discovered one of my defense mechanisms is going emotionally blank and unable to communicate when I am in the middle of conflict). as we were having this convo though I noticed so much tingling start to happen in my foot, leg, and arm (all on my right side). now we were just sitting there, not moving, not doing anything physical and this sensation came up. In that moment I was amazed at the sensation and it is definitely helping me to assure myself that I do indeed have TMS.
