The hypochondria that is me and the insight it provides
As many of you know, or may not know, sometimes i am a bit of a hypochondriac which by Webster's definition means, "extreme depression of mind or spirits often centered on imaginary physical ailments". While I am not depressed about it, I constantly believe I have some new ailment. One day I have a tumor, the next day I have some heart problem. Unfortunately, my recent descent into CSI addiction has not helped to quell this condition. The other night I was talking with Dan and discussing some chronic back pain that I have seemed to develop after a car wreck we where in. I was wanting him to pop my back and make it feel better but then my hypochondriacness...err...set in. What if he breaks it (keep in mind he has popped it many times before), maybe it's just one crack away from snapping and then I will be paralyzed, then of course this set off a whole new set of worries. So as were discussing this and he was trying to bring me back to sanity, I got to thinking about the human body and how perfectly fit together everything is. Everything is connected in such a perfect way to make us who we are, to allow us to operate the way that we do. It is beyond my mental capability to understand how people can think we just came into being. I was reading an article about intelligent design and how it was banned in some Penn. schools and it just got me bewildered all over again. I mean really, can intelligent people really believe that we just BANGED into being, with all the complex functions that our body is made up of? It blows my mind away.
So, Dan informed me that our bodies have lots of back up systems to help when something else fails. This is somewhat comforting but I must think that by now I have worked through most of my back up systems, which means I am bound to catch something sometime right?
