I've been ruminating on a blog on this particular topic for some time. This is a very sensitive topic for me, but I'm hoping that putting this down in writing will help me to work through it.
My ex (as I've said in the past) has some very real issues with anxiety. I know that he struggles with them. Along with his anxiety comes a common issue - hypochondria. I lived with him through "cancer" scares, "heart attack" scares, and various other "scares", including mad cow disease, multiple sclerosis, SARs. He has never had cancer, a heart attack, or any other disease. Yet, I have absolutely no doubt that the symptoms he believes he is feeling are very real to him.
