It's all in the mind!

Thursday, January 20, 2005

Psychosomatic: psycho refers to mind and somatic refers to body; the term psychosomatic means the mind making the body ill or illnesses which have been created physically within the body by derangement of the mind.



Paranoia: rare psychiatric syndrome marked by the gradual development of a highly elaborate and complex delusional system.



I have a friend who can convince himself that he has every possible disease out there...

He thought he had malaria.

He thought he had e coli.

He thought he had syphilis.

And he seriously thinks he won't live past 35 years old.



That's what I call too much brain action.



But I guess we all have our own paranoia. Mine are...

I think I have breast cancer. Doesn't mean I don't have breasts, I can't have it right?!

I won't live long enough to get married. Or if I do live long enough, I'll end up as the spinster Aunt. I'll end up doting on my nephews and nieces telling them stories of "the one that got away" and how I was so hot when I was younger everybody wanted me (... and since everybody else are dead or senile... no one will say otherwise).

I'm incapable of having children because of some weird illness.



Yes... I think it's too much brain action.



...if symptoms persist consult doctor. If there's no symptoms then we just have to live with it, right?!
