Your Diagnosis Results

Tuesday, March 14, 2006

I regret to inform you that you may have emotional impotence. It's fairly similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (like those suffered by victims of war) but contextually milder.

Voluntary emotional and psychological detachment are main symptoms of emotional impotence (EI) and is relatively scenario-selective in most cases. While patients can still laugh at sitcoms and engage in lively chatters with other people, these same folks with EI experience absolute mental shut down when faced with situations or objects (including individuals) that reminds them of their pain.

Fortunately for you, it is at an early stage and can be contained with regular medications (lots of alone time) and occasional socialisation. Exercise and healty diet will help too. I understand from your accounts, that there had been a series of incidents that might have caused and aggravated your condition. And it is best that during this recovery time, that only minimal confrontation of any matter related to these incidents should be entertained.

Check back with me in a month or so.
