Medical student syndrome

Self-diagnosing, ahoy!

Anyways, in the psych exam today, I had an epiphany of sorts. Cognitive dissonance.

I think it is maybe a contributing factor to my emotional state at the present. My behaviour is very out of whack with how I feel. As I said, I am not entirely sure how I feel. There are several different feelings I am feeling at once, and in an attempt to behave in accordance with all of them, I have ended up behaving in a way that is in accordance with none of them.

Even if I figure out how I feel, I will still be acting in conflict with aforementioned feelings.


So I'll end this post on that cheery note.

Shouldn't you be the master of psychoanalysis after doing your psychology exam?

Yeah totally, but you still aren't supposed to self-diagnose. People read about diseases and they think they have them.

Oh... brain tumors can give you headaches... I had a headache this morning!! Oh noes!!

^^^ That kind of thing.
