it has dawned on my recently that i may be using medical problems as a way to look for attention...does this make any sense?
let me explain - for example, if i have an ache or pain, i'm quick to go to the doctor and it ends up with some type of surgery or physical therapy. whereas some people would just live with the pain and get better (or just live with the pain and not get better.)
i am very quick to go to the doctor and almost am happy if i have a real ailment. then it is something i can actually feel.
i can remember, even back to the time as a child, that when i woke up in the morning, if i had a cast/splint/stitches, that i was actually happy because i could actually feel something.
sorry if this is confusing, but i am having a hard time explaining myself right now.
on another note, i am one of those people that only post ever "so often" because i worry what other will think about me. but i must say, the things that are posted on here are VERY beneficial and i am very grateful for finding such a site!
