The most horrible thing happened today. My best friend’s ex-boyfriend’s little brothers friend’s uncle died in a car crash day today. I can not believe how fast life can go before your eyes. I have a new found respect for this life handed to me and I will live it to the best of my ability.

            I just ate enough to feed an army; I probably won’t eat for a week or two now. That is okay though because I learned about how terrible drunk driving can be and how it affects so many young lives. I found a new calling…. Look out M.A.D.D here I come! RIP dear friend. 
Journal entry 3            In the last hour I ate three cheese burgers, ten chicken nuggets, a sandwich, the last half of a chocolate pie, the leftover spaghetti and some pizza rolls. I also made and everything omelet and ate that too because no body was here to share it with me. I meant not to eat for a week but that is alright, I guess I ate so much I just puked it up. I will do better tomorrow.

            Today has so much stress. My boyfriend says we will never be together again and that it is my entire fault. I have two major exams and if I fail my parents will kill me. Probably not really but they sure act like they would if I messed up. We have a pep rally tonight and I really should get ready. I hope the troop does not notice my bandage.

Journal entry 4

            It’s been three days since I have eaten anything and I am feeling a little week. I find that cutting helps distract me from the hunger but I almost cut myself to deep. I better stop before I make a mistake. Off to take another relentless test.

            My boyfriend is back and life is great! We went to dinner and it was the best tasting food ever. We also had sex, I was afraid he would say something about my scars but he seemed not to notice. I am SOOOO glad.

Journal entry 6

            My boyfriend hit me to day he said he did not mean to hit me and that it was an accident. I hope this does not become a habit because I am already tired of his belittling attitude towards me. I must love him so much. Well off to cry myself to sleep...again.

Well that is enough of that before my warped brain cracks. Lord knows none of that is remotely true of me and I do not mean to poke fun or belittle any of those real situations out there. They are tough to handle and I wish those struggling with that the best of healing luck.

What I want to talk about to day is a weird sort of hypochondriac, Munchausen’s type syndrome that I have recently become aware of. I would never blame a rape on the victim but one has to ask why these people subject themselves to so many trials and falsify info just for attention. Also, where are the parents and friends that claim o care so much?
 I know I am missing the point but now I guess I will tell you what Munchausen’s and hypochondriac’s disease is about and try to make myself clear.

 Munchausen’s syndrome

From the top of my head I see that and think of the ‘by proxy’ version were the ill person harms others for attention. For straight Munchausen’s syndrome I turn to the good ole internet. It “is a type of factitious disorder” were a “person repeatedly acts as if he or she has a physical or mental disorder when, in truth, they have caused the symptoms.” People with faked illnesses do this “because of an inner need to be seen as ill or injured, not financial gain. They willingly undergo painful or risky tests and operations in order to get the sympathy and special attention given to people who are truly ill. Munchausen’s syndrome is a mental illness associated with severe emotional difficulties”. Basically it is attention getting behavior of the most extreme kind.

 Can we see this coming before it gets out of hand? There are signs for every other disorder but with this how can you tell some one is just having a bad time or faking and suckering your tears from you. We all feel this way from time to time but the length and deceit they go through. There was one person I am aware of that personally put herself in a very dangerous relationship just to be rescued and coddled. Do not let this be you…always seek help.           

Hypochondriasis           
We often call people this when they are always going to the doctors in fear of some pending doom only to find out they are fine. This is similar to above and different at the same time. “People with hypochondriasis are very worried about getting a disease or are certain they have a disease, even after medical tests show they do not. Further, these people often misinterpret minor health problems or normal body functions as symptoms of a serious disease. An example is a person who is sure that his or her headaches are caused by a brain tumor. The symptoms associated with hypochondriasis are not under the person’s voluntary control, and can cause great distress and/or can interfere with a person’s normal functioning.”
            
Now I will apply this to here. It seems that in attempts to gain popularity and points, people exhibit some new form of Blogger’s Hypochondriac Munchausen’s type Syndrome (BHMS) were they dump all this dramatic personal painful things that make me want to cry without drawing a bigger picture. I know high school and college life can really be a pain in the ass but really we do not need to know unless there is some kind bigger picture and an action for change we can all make. The more BHMS blogs one puts out the less reads they will have, the less comments they will get, the less opportunities to debate, the fewer points. So, for the sake of insanity and point mongering, please stop. 
I do not mean to imply any blogger is insincere or dumb but six blogs in one day for several days in a row based off the same less then progressive ideas is crazy. This will lose you many a reader, whom will avoid you at all cost including your well written very progressive blogs. You will be ignored and recovering from a reputation will be a difficult thing to overcome in this contest I hear so much about. Make it progress or “no soup for you!”

 Yours sincerely,

Bitchy T   

Dumb huh?
