[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2135592, member: 501623"] I wasn't concerned about hypos. More about whether the level is higher than optimal. I appreciate your observation about my constant seeking out of problems. I probably have hypochondria to some extent, which became very apparent to me after the birth of my 3rd child when I was so badly fearing getting preeclampsia again (after having had it at the end of my first pregnancy) that my blood pressure was up with anxiety in an almost self-fulfilling prophecy. I think I had post-tramatic stress from that experience and the two visits to a psychologist just before finding out I was pregnant again didn't help me much so it the fear haunted me through both my next pregnancies. I know I have the tendency to focus on little things. My father is the same and I make fun of him for it (he doesn't see it in himself. I can at least admit it.) As far as spending time with my little ones, I don't really have any other family around to be able to hand them over for any period of time so we are together constantly anyway. I stopped using Facebook at the beginning of the year so where many other people waste their time, I almost enjoy looking for answers to my little niggling health problems as a way of entertaining myself - believe it or not. I'm obviously fairly isolated in my parenting experience and getting out with all 3 kids is harder than I have the energy for while my smallest one still wakes me in the night. So I'm just here really educating myself about illnesses that any good hypochondriac could see themselves developing by hearing about other people's experiences. Learning about the illnesses you are fearing is apparently part of the therapy for hypochondria anyway. So no, I'm not going to die anytime soon I hope and hopefully my presence in this forum isn't too irritating. Besides, threads I've been involved in may help others. Thanks for trying to keep me in check though. ;)I know I'm not the only one here. Maybe I'll challenge myself to quit this forum since I'm probably only on the way to prediabetes (if I'm lucky). Let's see if I can do it.:D P.S. I'm only a self-diagnosed hypochondriac ironically. :hilarious: [/QUOTE]
