Looking for advice

Velvenia · 06-23-2008, 11:20 PM

So, I know this is pretty personal, but I've talked with friends/family and no one has ever had to deal with a situation like this. I'm hoping someone has actually been in this scenario, or can actually give helpful advice.

Situation:

My boyfriend has gradually turned into a pretty serious hypochondriac over the past few years. It got so bad for a while that he convinced himself he had a brain tumor and we had to get him an MRI to convince him he didn't have one. Then he later questioned the MRI and believed it to be incorrect.

What I am not looking for:

Someone to say 'just get him pills'. Because he was on a few different kind of anti anxiety meds that just didn't seem to do much.

If anyone has some seriously good advice, it'd be much appreciated.

Sorry for being a debbie downer, but I'm sick of browsing the net for answers.

He just needz more hair is all. It's wigging him out. Surgical hair restoration will help his confidence and ultimately make life better for both of you. /glad to help

Purposely get him sick by feeding some drain-o or something of the sort.

After he recovers from his sickenss he'll finally be aware at what feeling good is actually like leading to a long and wonderful relationship between you two.

Or just dump him and date me.

HAY. He shaved it off on his own accord! Metal, he says.

The options... the options...

Hell even I could use a date, if you don't mind fluffy girls ;) I'll let you choose who in the relationship you want to be!!

You can even borrow my black rimmed glasses, and make Johnathon all hawt!

On a serious note, good luck. I had a friend that would take up other friends "conditions" like asthema or other things like that....

You didn't read the rest of my post obviously.

But both would work too.

LOL. Man, if you'd date me in the pic Faabs drew of me, then I don't much care what you look like <333

And thanks for the support =)
