Thank you for being nice in a not scary/threatening way. And also thank you for not colluding with me in my health related paranoia stuff. And only laughing a little bit in your voice when I say dumb stuff like maybe my arm is going to fall off from an SH injury by C or maybe I have meningitis because my head and neck hurt. If you acted like you took that stuff too seriously, it would probably make me more scared. Those thoughts just happen sometimes when I am injured or sick and don't usually last very long.

I think maybe I want to talk to you more about this stuff though, because I get worried about certain categories of things, and it's kind of disabling when it happens. I am a highly logical person and I don't value emotions much at all. Some people would probably say I don't value emotions enough. But in the categories I'm talking about - when I'm feeling really sick or have a very painful injury, as well as anything to do with my dog - my ability to be rational goes out the window. Actually, those are the only categories I can think of. So it's not like this is just how everybody is - how everyone has their biases and stuff. It's not even really that I become irrational exactly, it's almost like I become temporarily delusional. For example, one of my recurring fears is that my dog will die of a SIDS-like disorder affecting dogs. Or I worry that I will die in a freak accident or from an anyeurism or something and he will be orphaned. I didn't tell you this, but one of the nights I didn't sleep last week was due to this, not yoga trauma.
