But I never knew when I started it just how important it would become and how much I would express myself through it... nor how time consuming it would be. It has now become my main form of expression.<br /><br />But, I pay my rent through painting & I've had a lot of work these past weeks. I'm trying to rearrange my schedule so as I have more time to post. It's very frustrating. Anyway, I will work something out... I have to, because i am expressing myself better with words than with paint at the moment.<br /><br />You'll just have to bare with me for a moment... & excuse me for not having visited for a while. <br /><br />Thanks for the concern..<br /><br />All my Love, Shane. xMemoirs of a Heroinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401281805284793756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-57888554353938788472009-05-14T23:17:00.000+02:002009-05-14T23:17:00.000+02:00Shane,

I wasn't here. oh well...<br />you already know what are my thoughts to this problem: I have it too!(by the way, I have a new email address, I'll send it to you later).<br /><br />from all the disadvantages of being hypochondriac , there is one advantage: - we know a lil about every-f*cking disease there is on this world! xD and by that, we can go to those TV contest, win the show and become millionaires, uh? <br /><br />hahaha, Just kidding! xD<br /><br />now, seriously: I know what it is, I know it well. and I think that the fact that I'm hypochondriac is because of my father. He is also hypochondriac! -_-'<br /><br />Oh well, I'm one since the begging of my teenage years! x| (... maybe 12/13)...and I'm now 18 (made in may 4th, yeah for me! xD)...so it's approximately 5 years of leaving it! I'm really tired of it because it doesn't let me live fully like everybody of my age.<br /><br />These year will be, will have to be, the year of change! my year of change, and I'll put myself in test every-f*cking-day till it disappears (and I hope it does) - and by it I mean also my panic attacks that, I think, are "handed hand" with hypochondriasis.<br />wish me good luck x)<br /><br /><br />stay strong, take care, kiss kiss,<br />Vanessa MotaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-2145194238775855232009-05-13T16:27:00.000+02:002009-05-13T16:27:00.000+02:00It's odd, but I'm just the opposite.

I knew that the works I was using were used by somebody with the virus before. But need dictated usage ... so I did. It backfired. But glad to see you try and keep yourself safe. And for everybody else: you dont just catch HepC through IV use, but also through sharing snorting equipement, sharing razors and toothbrushes, getting tattoos and piercings where equipment is not properly sterilised and not thrown away, barbers & hairdressers who do not tend to use sterilised equipment, and until 1992 you could have caught it through a blood infusion, if you ever had one. <br /><br />Sorry for the blurp ... but I thought I clear the myths up.

I can relate to much of your symptoms but unlike you,I can't really think why I'm like that at all. I've definately got a touch of the "Dot Cottons" thats for sure.<br /> <br />Funny enough I did have a real life health scare recently when I went to the dentist and she casually mentioned "That looks like a tumor on your tongue" Naturally I went for an immediate biopsy and for the next 2 weeks was shitting myself wondering just how long I had left and speculating who I should leave my record collection and Chelsea Season Ticket to. To me I was as good as dead. A goner. No hope. The big C that had wiped out most of my family already was taking me too.<br /><br />Well it was good news and although it was such a relief,it was so unexpected that I didn't really know to handle it at first. I thought the consultant was lying and told him so lol. Well another 6months has just passed and I've been for the follow up and all clear so I guess I believe them now (til the next time) Human beings are a funny lot. Without humour,I think I would of snuffed it by now for sure.<br /><br />Take care mate.Longyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168794648430025104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-26907422307058778442009-05-12T08:39:00.000+02:002009-05-12T08:39:00.000+02:00Yeah, I've alternated between only taking a half d...Yeah, I've alternated between only taking a half dose of ibuprofen so I can go easy on my body, and then emptying bottles of pills down my throat.

I didn't mean vices per se - I meant just odd behavior. <br /><br />A good buddy of mine did something hilarious a few weeks ago while we were working one night. We were going back and forth organizing stuff, and he was lamenting that he didn't have any food. He's single, and it gets pretty bad when he decides to slack. I'd been over there a few times a week and had noticed the fridge looking more and more like a display at the department store - completely empty.<br /><br />So I'm sitting on the couch thinking about whatever we had been talking about and he gets up and goes to the kitchen.<br /><br />It turns out he'd - in a classic Seinfeld bit - thrown out something or other he didn't want to be tempted to eat. He'd placed it on the top of a full kitchen pail, on its own plate. It was, in his hungry mind, really just resting on garbage, not really garbage. <br /><br />So he picks it up and eats it - of which I had no idea - and then spent the next 2 hours almost unable to work because he was panicked that he'd done something stupid. "The garbage smells! Those are fumes! There was a bag with cat puke in it that you can smell!" <br /><br />I couldn't lie; I agreed I could smell the cat puke when standing over the can. "Great! That means fumes enveloped that pastry!" I tried to tell him it wasn't true, that the particles that make up the puke in the air are negligible... <br /><br />Yeah right. Try explaining to someone in the throes of a hypo-fit that teeny tiny particles aren't filling his lungs and brain and in fact killing him. All I could do is laugh and make the situation as light as it really was.<br /><br />But I was stricken right then by the idea that these two seemingly opposite behaviors could, and usually do, exist in people. How could a guy who KNOWS he is mentally sensitive to freaking about his health do something so silly? <br /><br />But in that moment he became his own ancestor in my mind, a lemur or some babboonish creature - desperate for calories or water. Poking, testing... trying... all the while depending on a heightened alarm sense to warn him the INSTANT it went bad. Pay attention to rustling in the bush, that can be a lion... pay attention to flies and such... pay attention to traps - it could be an animal or plant cleverly disguised as fruit, or rotting flesh. That shadow moving in the water is most certainly a crocodile.<br /><br />Millenia later, the poor simian is in his own kitchen...Herbert Barry Woodrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914828266175791354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-39826592032100632982009-05-11T20:50:00.000+02:002009-05-11T20:50:00.000+02:00Ryan,
