Somatoform Disorder
Yes, I am back to diagnosing myself. However, I did not use my DSM for this one so bare with me. For the past couple days I have been really dizzy. I explained it to my dad and he described it as Vertigo. But really, I have nothing wrong with me. I have analyzed if I have glaucoma, a migraine, a blood clot, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a hernia (why not). I realized I have none of these things. I have stress that I am not acknowledging from finishing my degree. I have been pretending like it isn't stressing me out so my body decided to show me that it really is. I realized this after Barry was asking me questions about my project and with each question I felt like throwing up a little more each time. So, here is to acknowledging my stress, getting rid of Vertigo, and finishing my portfolio (insert urge to puke here). Ugh, I guess if I wind up in the hospital I was wrong with my diagnosis.

Somatoform Disorder (Jeez! I can hardly pronounce the word) Your memory seems pretty good to me and your limbs are all in tact, are you serious? On a positive note - You are literally minutes away from accomplishing your goal!
:) I should have explained, Somatoform disorder is where you express emotionally based problems through your body i.e. getting dizzy because of stress.
Hang in there!! You are almost finished. We are cheering for you here in Albert Lea!! "You can do it, if you try! V I C T O R Y!!"
You can hear Kailey and I chanting it right? Love you!
Deep breath! The vertigo could be from stress, esp since you are feeling nauseous thinking about it. But, there is such a thing as unexplained vertigo, where it doesn't go away.! Hope it's not that kind!
Remember "self care" during times like this.
Love, JG
