How often do you, irrationally, believe you have a brain tumor?

Featured Replies

Dear Folks,

 

This is no joke.

 

Anytime one might feel like there is a brain tumor inside one’s head, this can be such an unsettling feeling, for sure.

 

During the past week, probably due to unduly high stress, I had become convinced that I had a brain tumor.  Has this also happened to you?

 

I never see a physician for almost any reason. And, I have not sought medical advice from the doctors in Asia, for many, many years…..  Perhaps this is why I have continued to maintain my good health, as long as I have, through thick and thin.

 

But what about you, and also me?

 

How often do you succumb to the strain of life, during a time of weakness, and let the anxiety of the world build up, until…finally…

 

You become IRRATIONALLY convinced that you have a Brain Tumor….?

 

For sure, this happens to many more of us than you might think.

For example, the Emergency Wards in hospitals around the world are inundated by visits of people who call 911, not due to real illnesses, but due to anxiety-related psychosomatic false alarms.

 

If you do not believe me, then just ask any ER Physician.

 

But, let’s just consider the question and answer:

 

How often do you, yourself, suspect that you might have a Brain Tumor?

 

I think, based on my research on TV, that most here worry too much that they might have brain tumors, on the brain.

 

What do you think….

Am I correct?

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note: I know that I am correct.

 

Note2:  This is NOT a Topic which is written to be posted in the Health Forum, although....certainly...this is a serious topic, disguised, somewhat, as a Pub Topic.

    ONLY when I'm reading one of your topics. But I've been told that limiting this behavior would help prevent further onset of that frightful condition. 

  • Nurse, he's out of bed posting nonsense again  😁

  • To have a tumor first you need a brain. Which is not always evident on AN.

 I would recommend a psychiatric or psychology therapy 

 

It is linked to sever mental hell illnesses 

 

Yes, it's possible to mistake the symptoms of a brain tumor for mental health illnesses. Brain tumors can cause a range of psychological and behavioral changes, including personality changes, mood swings, depression, anxiety, and problems with thinking and memory. These symptoms can sometimes be similar to those of certain mental health conditions, leading to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

Severe mental hell?

 

I guess nobody is immune to severe mental hell, from time to time....

 

This is just part of the glory concomitant with the more pleasurable aspects of being alive.

 

There is no heaven without hell.

And, there is no rationality without irrationality.

 

And, sometimes, irrationality rules.

You always post the most germane and logical responses to my Topics.

What....?

 

Are you, also, from Penn?

 

Everything is fair, in love and war, including the Kitchen Sink....

I learned this from Elon.

That's why we try to use cognitive well known proven self therapy methods to prevent going in to severe mental state. 

 

We can choose to cultivate healthy thoughts 💬 when Severe tempting thoughts appears and use or try to use common sense when the brain wants to play another game with us.

 

We know when we start to get raging thoughts how tempting it is to go dawn that path and float with it and make excuses why we do not stop, or ?

Well, to reply to your question....

 

Perhaps we could spend a great deal more time with Sapolsky....

Time well spent, perhaps....

You are the genius here, but still like to occupy your brain with suspect thoughts, instead of using your brain for more constructive 💡

You know....

 

This frightful feeling that one might somehow have a brain tumor can manifest in other ways:

 

We witness this in popular culture, as well.

For example.....

 

The tumor coming out of John Hurt....

 

 

IMHO, most of us have this barely suppressed fear of some evil tumor inside us.

And, one of the reasons Alien is so beautiful is that....

Alien reminds us of our deepest fear...

 

There is a tumor inside all of us, just waiting to out....

ELON MUSK

 

 

Elon musk is an two egged sword or doubled egged sword, not sure the right term for being a splitted personality who can turn either way if misunderstood.

Correct....

 

Elon has two eggs between his legs, and one sword.

 

Otherwise, how else did you imagine Elon sired so many children?

 

image.png.18bcc8ececf02f63878cf1f9aca1c194.png

 

 

aa. But, one wonders how Elon has just SO much time that he can also spend enough of it in bed, sharing his precious sperm with so many women.

 

bb.  After all, Elon has already accomplished FAR MORE than most mortals, in half the time, planning on colonizing Mars.

 

cc. Where does Musk find the time to father so many children???........

 

In the back of his '65 Chevy?

 

No, he must father them in the front seat of his Tesla Roadsters....

image.png.d165fa1f2f29ee2913ba78f3a075f6b8.png

 

dd. And, by the way, the the worm has turned....

 

Elon's worm is far more powerful than....

 

THE BOSS.....

 

ee.  In case you might not know, The Boss did his deeds, THE DEED, in his '65 Chevy....

image.png.c8a61ffa75c9f591ae4b75e19479c1bf.png

 

ff. Some might confuse THE BOSS with either Bruce Springsteen, or THE BOSS in the movie Cool Hand Luke.

 

gg.  But, these days, EVERYBODY knows who THE BOSS might be...

 

Elon is....THE BOSS.

 

hh. Also, when we think of the '65 Chevy, and back seats, we first think of ....

 

 

 

ii.  You know......

 

Someday, Elon will send a '60 Chevy to Mars.

 

Darned if he will not.....

 

Elon has a very advanced sense of humor, and he is not unwilling to express himself....

 

Oh.....WONDER.....

 

We are all waiting on Musk's thunder.

 

jj. Musk is better than any Rock Star I have ever heard.

 

Did you ever wonder....

 

Where is Elon at this very moment, and what is he doing?

 

image.png.37b3ca6c6e793a37003bda30deb79c20.png

 

This Isaacson biography cannot be true.

Or, is it all true?

 

Still, a very good read...so.....

Why not listen to it,....

If you can't read.

 

image.png.76b6bf7195ce76a7bcb1c6695cc096d1.png

 

This biography, in my view, just seems a bit air-brushed.

Or, maybe it just pretends to know more about Elon than it actually knows.

Get the book for free, and read it, is good advice.

 

Just how accurate it might be.....

Only Elon knows....

And, he will be on Mars, first, before he tells us his real story.

 

Such a Tom Swift....

 

Go Elon....!!!!!

Yet just seconds before you proudly proclaimed that you had nothing to do with doctors in Asia for many years, so which is it?

 

Personally, having no medical training beyond basic first aid, I wouldn't dream of attempting to diagnose a brain tumour - I just think you are bonkers!

That's nothing compared to Bill Gates and The EMBALMER dance moves !!

 

 

Shell out the money for a CAT scan if it worries you so much.

 everything we read, increasingly filled with Gobbledygook?

 

I like reading your stories, too bad they are shut down prematurely. 😂

 

 

 

Could happen sometimes if you follow threads and comments of AN elites.😂

 

 

FIL woke up one morning, fit, healthy............... but suddenly couldn't pronounce certain words.

 

Operated on within a week, never recovered consciousness, died the following week.

 

Hope that alleviates some worries.

Oh wow!

 

This is worrying...........just remembered I had an MRI scan for a tumour (neck up over) in May.........wonder if they missed something???
