I ignored personality issues for many years after “experts” failed to do anything in my childhood. My late wife diagnosed it as Aspergers Syndrome in my mid 40s. It was a relief to know what I had, somewhat amusing to know that I shouldn’t have had as successful a military career as I did, other than that not much could be done about it. Meg did prove that, with patient effort, some improvement is possible, but not the major progress that can be made with children.
No. I always get checked out when I think there is something going on and I make sure to keep you with my medical care (even if it means being told my medical condition is getting worse).
I used to be a severe hypochondriac. I feared skin cancer so badly that I would rip off my own freckles with toenail clippers. I was 8 years old at the time.
I’ve got a lot of symptoms for all kinds of shit, but I ain’t dead yet, so I’m not too worried about it anymore.
Yeah, and when I finally got it checked out, it turned out I’d had brain tumors for about seven years. Since then, I’ve gone to the doctor when I wonder if something’s wrong.
