Not hypochondria when I have an actual diagnosis. Also, if you want to play the "smart" card, I'll play back. Hypochondria is generally a chronic illness. Meaning, long lasting as opposed to an acute illness. I've only known about "myself" for a few months. Before that, I thought I was completely normal. Hypochondria is also characterized by high levels of anxiety and fear of a life threatening or severe, undiagnosed illness. Most people do actually have mild levels of anxiety about their health. It's very "normal" to want to be ok and if you don't agree to seek a second opinion. I see it all the time in my field. But lets look at the facts, I'm not severely anxious about my personality. Infact, I'm rather the opposite most times, I love it. My saying I didn't want to be called normal was more about my intellectual understanding of normal. I'm very analytical and need to understand things. How could what I do be classified as normal? Would you do it all, Life_Song?
I know one person who thought they had something wrong with them to the point they spent thousands on doctor visits, all of which said they were fine. Finally, she kept pushing the issue (that she had a problem) and they said she was a hypochondriac. Sometimes that is the final alternative. I wonder if this is part of OCD?
Again, this is severe axiety. I'm not severely anxious. I've only been to one dr who has given me actual diagnosis, not said I was fine. I was going to explain the "normal" thing in here to everyone since I spoke with my therapist Weds again.. but everyone has jumped so much in here that I didn't feel like it would do me any good.
The way she spoke of cheating on her husband without a conscience was odd, and the creepy part about how he was a good boy, in terms of how he accepted her emotional abuse-just might add some weight to psychopathy. They often hurt the ones they love. Then, they are divorced and lonely, and everyone was hurt.
Um, hi! I'm right here. Please don't speak about me like I don't exist in my own thread. I'm happy to address you. No one here is lonely. Even
if somehow it ended way down the line, I would never be alone.
Sans, there is truly help for you. I wish you the best in discovering what is wrong with your personality.
Um, thanks?
It is time to heal Sans, and to change yourself one step at a time towards positive growth so that you can learn how to be a fair human being and treat others the way they should be treated.
Why? I'm not being sarcastic here, I just don't understand. What would it gain me to be fair? Or in your eyes, a human being.
Having affairs is an awful form of emotional abuse and you should totally stop or ask why you married in the first place?
Meh. As my therapist actually said, "Morality shouldn't be so black and white. I'm getting my needs met and not hurting him."
Sans, you CAN heal. You can become NORMAL if you only reach out and try.
Whoa whoa whoa.. hold it right there.. No one EVER said I wanted to be normal. LMAO. Seriously.
First start your healing by stopping what you know is wrong. You don't need a doctor to tell you that a lot of the things you are doing is wrong. You have admitted to it on this thread. If you know, why do you need a doctor to tell you?
I don't need anyone to tell me it's wrong (and he doesn't say that BTW- he doesn't judge

). I need someone to tell me why I do it and what it's called.
Heal, Sans. You do not need to be abnormal for the rest of your life.
Maybe not. Maybe so. Why is abnormal bad? Many in this world whom have accomplished great things would not be considered normal. Without a bit of abnormality, greatness could never ensue.
I wish you a warm merry X-mas and strength.
Merry Christmas, Life_Song.
