hypochondriasis

And so much of our life feels out of control that we're trying desperately.

So there's no, I think, honestly, medical anxiety, health anxiety generally.

Yeah.

And I think it's because a lot of people can relate that for me, BPD feels like having a dial that's turned up to full volume and I struggle to turn it down.

out of control not myself out of like because I pick up on every little shift in my you know my temperature changes by half a degree and I'm like oh my god you know uh so I think that's maybe where some of that stems from as well

Yeah, that's interesting.

I've never really because I definitely also have health anxiety and I've never I've never really compared the fear of vomiting to health anxiety in the same way.

I in a lot of ways, like once I vomited, I'm like, oh, my God, I'm sick.

Yeah.

Hypochondriac's corner.

You're the one, if somebody says, "Yeah, I had to go to the doctor for this." "Who? What did you...

Who? Us? He?"

Hypo-

Well, and if it's health, it's a hypochondriac.

Hypochondriac.

A Democrat.

Well, that, that, that's a word.

So good night, sweet dreams to you, and don't forget your promise that tomorrow you are going to help someone.

Chapter 17 We shall consider hypochondria, which is a frequent result of worry thought.

Hypochondria is the state of imagining disease which does not exist, and sometimes it is the constant dwelling on a lesser ailment in the imagination that the ailment is a serious thing.

As far back as Buddha's time, we learn that, quote, all that we are is the result of what we have thought, unquote.

That is the same truth, in another form, which appears in the Bible.

I am speaking now of hypochondria and trying to make it clear to you that you cannot get relief from hypochondria out of a bottle, but you can get it from mental suggestion.

When the doctor treats the hypochondriac, it's not the medicine, but the faith in the medicine, faith in the doctor, and the confidence in the doctor's promise that does the good.

Hypochondria predisposes you to the very thing you fear.

Like, seemingly reasonable and rational and good with money, but like-

...

but secretly, like, hysterical and hypochondriacal and, like, not so secretly and, like, besieged [laughs] by primitive fantasies of resentment and revenge.

Chondral means cartilage.

Hypochondriac might be a term you've heard before.

And yeah, it kind of has its roots in pain in this region that it's not clear what's causing it.

So the hypochondriac region is on either side inferior to those costal cartilages.

But I'm worried about the COVID booster because of all this stuff.

Hypochondriac shot up right there.

Give me two.

Give me two.

What's the word I'm looking for? Yeah,

hypochondriac, I think.

Hypochondriac, thank you.

Yes.

Hey, my 60-year-old brain is still working somewhat.

It's not an act.

Hypochondriac.

I'm really sick in the head.

This bitch is dead.
