[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 550763, member: 9175"] Not only do I get the "feel like I'm gonna pass out", but she has told others -on many occassions - about passing out here and there from weakness, hunger (this one is funny), stress and deathly illness. It is nearly impossible to feel empathy toward her when she is sick (except for a few times when she was very young and was too sick for histrionics) because she complains so loudly and often. When she was 10, would jump into our above ground pool on a regular basis and scream (and I do mean scream) I BROKE MY LEG!!!! OW! OW!!! OW!!! In the beginning, it would bring the neighbors running (though not me), but eventually even her friends would sigh and ignore her. She told me I "was unsympathetic" when she'd sustained a horrid jumping injury. I told her if she ever really broke something, I would be. Two weeks later she broke her arm while ridign a scooter at a friend's boat 1 hour away. When I got he call and her her bellowing in the background, I told the mom (who wanted to take her to ER), that I'd come pick her up. They met me halfway (thinkng I was nuts, heartless or both). Well, guess what? It really was broken. Anyway, I was - true to my word - sympathetic ...but not until ER came back with a diagnosis. She was hollering just like she did with everything else. Sigh.
