OH MY GOD!!!

So, as I mentioned in my last post, I have a new job working with developmentally challenged kids (I love it so far, but more on that later). I've been reading up on the various diagnoses of my clients, including Asperger's Syndorome, which is a form of Autism that lacks the typical delays in language development... and I've come to a startling ( Read more... )

I may sound a bit skeptic, but I would say you have a case of hypochondria.

I wouldn't say hypochondria, but in general agree. I'd say more of the "Take a Psych class and suddenly feel like you have almost every mental disorder the class covers" syndrome.

Well, considering I'm a psych major...
(I do admit, though, that I have a tendency to see aspects of myself in a lot of the crazinesses I learn about. But I think this is different. ...But it's nice to know that at least two people I know think I'm *not* crazy :-)

1791 was the year it happened. i was 23, younger than you are now, but times were different then - i was a man at that age, the master of a large plantation just south of new orleans. i had lost my wife in childbirth. she and the child had been buried less than half a year. i could not take the pain of their loss. i longed to be released.. something something something something. damn. i got close.

hey... drop the preoccupied with the own agenda thingie for me...

and add the "few facial expressions" one.. I have like 2...

sometimes i fit the "flat cheerless demeanor" descriptor... like when I'm on the bus.. or at work... or at home... or whilst scrubbing the zombie drool from my windows since I hate the way the sun shines through it like a flashlight through a two liter of Moonmist....
