I'm actually at the other end of the spectrum for illnesses, whenever i get sick i hardly notice. first earliest evidence of this is was one day back when i went to middle school (so around 12), i woke up one day felt completely normal until i put on my school clothes, shirt and pants, but that day i noticed that day felt unusually hot after i put my pants on. i decided to take my temperature, as all kids who wish for a day off from school might do, and surprisingly i had a high temperature. although the fever is gone i can hardly wear pants anymore because the symptom of becoming over heated whenever i wear pants never went away so i've worn shorts ever since, even in the winter when theres 2-3 feet of snow on the ground.
That's pretty cool actually. In a bad sort of way.. if that makes sense

My parents often disregarded when I'd say I didn't feel well and would cart me off to school or shopping with them. I remember I felt really bad one day but they took me to the mall. I had to lay on the bench because I was so nauseous. I vomited three times and the fourth brought blood, then fainted on the bench with a temp of 104 (they bought a thermometer to see if I was faking LOL.) I had food poisoning that was ignored and progressed to a more serious state. Fun times.
@Schmuty: Well I think I posted a photo here at some point, haha. *digs*
Oh, yep. http://i54.tinypic.com/2gwvtrs.jpg
o_O I look so young it's kind of gross. I've always been cursed with the stupid eyes and that .. young..ness. When I visit my father at work they'll say something like "Wow, are you 15 already?!" >.>
@Schmuty again: It does help, yes. I think I'm just going to have to keep "lying" to myself, meaning think the opposite way despite not truly believing in it. I'm hoping that'll work and eventually correct my thinking. Having studying psychology, I've basically tried everything along the way that's considered a universal treatment option. Perhaps it's better just to stick to myself.
@Samildanach: Thank you

And it's kind of a nice irony, I think. Perhaps the drive to help your own self as well as others is one of the best ways to go.
