Guest guest Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 BOY oh BOY...... I coulda written that myself! I still have trouble going into stores that aren't the big Department type. Anything that is a " boutique " type....well of course they will NEVER have anything that fits me! Now.....I am a size 16 ...so in many cases I am right, but still.......most times I won't even go and look. And it is too weird that even if something says 16 on it.....I still think it won't fit. It MUST be too small. Things scream FRAUD at me all the time and , who has only known me since AFTER the surgery, is frequently mystified by this attitude. BUT I know I am right......I am a fraud......I am a size 30 in a size 16 body and that size 30 will tell on me if I try to fool someone. Sheesh.......it will have been 4 years in Jan since my original surgery. I don't think we ever stop feeling like frauds.

When I first started walking into stores and asking for a smaller size, I was convinced that the clerk would take one look at me, snicker behind her hand, and say, " Yeah, sure, lady. Size 8. Uh-huh. How about size 18? Or size 28, maybe? " It never happened, much to my surprise, but I still get that little voice in my head that says, " Don't tell them you're a size 6 -- they'll think you're nuts! " According to my therapist, I have to calm that little voice lovingly but firmly, so I always answer back, " Hey, little voice, shut the hell up, wouldya? " No, actually, what I answer is, " It's okay, I really *do* wear a size 6 -- just relax, no one's going to laugh at you. " Fortunately for me, I do not feel compelled to hold this conversation aloud, or I'd find myself wearing a very nice custom-fitted white suit...though it would be in a size 6, which I suppose is something....

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 HAHAHAHA, The white suit. HUMMMM I think I have one of those....in various sizes....because no matter WHAT people think I am NUTS. HEY....I am certifiable! They certified me to be slightly compulsive (but not clinically so) and slightly histrionic (but not clinically so). SO see.......I am certified! And most people who really get to know me.......will definitely agree with the histrionic part. Ok...so maybe the compulsive part too. Sheesh.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 This reminds me of a present I was given by some friends for my college graduation. We had always joked about needing to go to the store and get some sanity. So when I graduated, my friends gave me a certificate of sanity. A week later when I was packing, I lost the certificate. I guess that means that I am certifiably insane since I am no longer certifiable sane. Guess I need to go get another degree to get my sanity back. HAHAHAHA.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Histrionic. Let's see.......This is what I found when I did a search on google.com I have to say, since I am not clinicly histrionic....I do not exhibit all the symptoms and they usually do not affect my life. Which is why the Physc person was not concerned....she just said I was SLIGHTLY histrionic. I will say that I am an emotional person, but I don't usually like being the center of attention. And there are some other things that they have listed that don't suit me...personally. Debbie in Gig Harbor *********************************************** Histrionic Personality Disorder SYMPTOMS A pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following: (1) is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention (2) interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior (3) displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions (4) consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self (5) has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail (6) shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion (7) is suggestible, i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances (8) considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Okay, someone just give me a slap upside the head, okay? I misunderstood 's post completely. Didn't realize she was questioning something in one of *my* posts, and ...oh, never mind. Yes. Carol A has it exactly right. Histrionic = overly dramatic, someone who makes a huge great hairy deal out of something that most others would find relatively trivial. Sorry. Back to my cave now.
