A human brain is pretty much hardwired near the age of 12 (or before?); meaning the synaptic connections that will be made are made - so says some programming teacher I had. Everything thought, conclusion, etc. after that age must be learned and will not be hardwired into your consciousness.

From having a mother, she a middle child in her family, who's been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I think most "psychosomatic" illnesses are self created and the psychology and pharmaceutical professions only proliferate from it. I'm 100% confident my mother creates the "pain" in her life - not enough attention, feelings of alienation / worthlessness albeit the amount of time she spends helping family, etc. - are brought on by her and her alone.

In my opinion, unless you're a serious case who's taking knives to people one day and hugging them the next, I'd say your condition is created by yourself. From what I read, you post quality and mostly up-beat thoughts, indicative by no serious mental instability like some others who post here. I'm no shrink, I make no declarations that what I say are legitimate in any medical / psychological sense. I just think if you, in all reality, went to the local gardener and smelled the roses now and again while trying to seriously address things in your life causing you problems, it may help. Drug free.
