Hypochondria- State of overactive counter-productive, emotional unrest.
Doctor, Doctor where is a Doctor, who will listen, I have symptoms of pain?
Does everyone want to be diagnosed with some kind of condition?
Where, when and why did this ‘condition? begin?
Does it come from a deep-rooted storage facility, stemming from childhood, mainly less than 5 years of age?
Possibility exists that it was a well-hidden secret, especially from self. It can surface in later life or at times of cumulative stressful periods.
One can medicate the condition, or probe into the onset of the pain deposit to release the self, from wrongful self-imprisonment.
In early stages of life, it is common for children to implant; neglect, abandonment, unanswered plea of help, undiagnosed pain, and over-reaction to symptoms of emotional or physical nature.
When this occurs, children may think I am not important, I am not loved, and I feel pain only to deposit the voided self in a cellular level.
If the plea goes unheard, unanswered, unacknowledged, unconfirmed or ignored, it will persist. It may manifest as a physical diagnosis, proven through laboratory testing, and so on.
The process can be simple, or difficult, depending on who the audience of the afflicted is and if the label of Hypochondria is the ruling force.
The solution is dependent on the participants to look beyond the chronic ailments and discuss the concerns. If fear and worry are the ruling components, it will show itself. Possibly re-assurance, with a plan of action could be established and finally support is at hand.
Awareness, open heart and tenderness, are the steps to begin the wheel of self-affirmation through loving support.
Could this be a cure, or an opportunity for discovery?
Is it what ails you, or what alienates you from self and others?
What could anyone lose by probing into such uncharted subject matter, as Hypochondria? Labeling or name-calling is harmful to all concerned.
Do not look for human elimination; look for human connection, for betterment of self and others.
We are one in the Lord, we are one in the Spirit, we are one with each other and it begins with me, as an attempt to reach out to you.
