[QUOTE="WSM, post: 263441, member: 5169"] Sometimes I think what I write is so bizarre you all must think I'm making it up. I swear this is all true. It's just insane...not that that's a helpful thing to say. But it seems like no one lives this odd a life. And the thing is, difficult child is something of a hyperchondriac and very worried about being like his psychotic mother or his two schizophrenic uncles. Last week he had to have a lot of blood work done before they prescribed the lexapro. Everything came out normal, all his minerals and vitamins are good, no lead, hormones right, nothing odd or off, everything perfect. On the way to the blood test difficult child was anxious and wanted to know if they would also test for AIDS, apparently he is worried he has AIDS. husband was shocked. Why does difficult child think he has AIDS? Has difficult child been having sex? No. But difficult child informed husband that there are five ways to get AIDS and he might have gotten it another way. husband asked: are you doing intrevenous drugs? No. Have you had a transfusion we don't know about? No. Has difficult child been working in a medcal facility handling blood products and needles and other medical waste behind our backs? No. Then how would he have gotten AIDS? difficult child thought maybe somebody at school or in public who had AIDS and was secretly hiding it, might have gotten some of his own blood on his hands and then touched things like door knobs that difficult child later touched. In any case, difficult child really, really wanted to be tested for AIDS. We know difficult child has depression and some anxiety and maybe the slightest touch of obsessive compulsion disorder. But he seems so normal to outsiders, psychiatrists and tdocs think we exaggerate, and difficult child knows how to play the game to look normal to them. He sees by our reaction or his brothers' that his action or words are odd and then he modifies them for outsiders. [/QUOTE]
