HIV fear causes psychosomatic disorder

by joecool21, Jul 28, 2007 07:59PM
Psychosomatic disorder, now more commonly referred to as psychophysiologic illness, is an illness whose symptoms are caused by mental processes of the sufferer rather than immediate physiological causes. If a medical examination can find no physical or organic cause, or if an illness appears to result from emotional conditions such as anger, anxiety, depression or guilt, then it might be classified as psychosomatic.

I have all of those. I'm angry that this person may have given me something, I have anxiety cuz of my test, and I don't want my life to change. I also have depression over all of those that I mentioned. ANd feel guilt that I slept with a stranger who turned out to be a wh*re.

That doesn't mean I can't have anything.
