Sick in the head

I've diagnosed myself with heart attacks, blood poisoning, meningitis and multiple sclerosis. Turns out, what I had was hypochondria.

    get an effing life!

    I know several people who have DIED of cancer, and several who are fighting it valiantly and never complain. My mother has diabetes, arthritis and is blind in one eye and at the age of 74 rides her bicycle every day. I have MS. There are veterans returning every day from overseas with traumatic brain injuries and fewer LIMBS than they were born with. WAKE UP AND THANK GOD THAT YOU HAVE THE WITS AND THE VOICE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR IMAGINARY CRAP. I don't want to hear about it anymore. LORD! That this person should make money off of this crap is beyond me.
