Okay, so... This is really, really odd, but it just came as a thought to me.

I am OCD, and one of the things I really obsess over, is pregnancy. I'm not sure why, but I can only imagine it's because I know I do want to be a mom. Not yet, though. I know I'm not in a good place (or really old enough) that I should be having a child yet. But I really want to be a mom, and whenever I see babies, I get all... Sad and wish I was able to be at that point in my life.

Well, around the same time this started, I started getting sick a lot for no reason. We went to the doctor and we couldn't find anything wrong with me. So we thought it was my medication, but my psychiatrist says it's not that.

So, the thought I just had... The brain is a very powerful thing, and I know that men when their wives are pregnant, sometimes have the whole "sympathy pregnancy" thing where they get some of the symptoms.

Is it possible that my sickness is due to being like... Mock morning sickness? Like, my brain obsesses over pregnancy so much, that it's making my body feel like I'm actually pregnant?

Like I said, it's a weird thought, but I know the brain can do some wacky things... So I just thought I would ask...
