I have the same problem as the parent and this is exactly why. I've always thoroughly tested everything but with ad hoc tests that I had to do over and over.
The main thing I miss with TDD is the interactive nature. If I'm testing in Smalltalk I can write code right inside the debugger and watch the effect it has, but TDD always moves me back to what Smalltalkers call "cult of the dead" programming where I have to stop, run the tests and wait for the output. I wish there was a way to make it more interactive. It would be easier to force myself to do it then.
