Psychological Issues


I have a strong suspicion that Bimbo may have psychological issues.


I've known Bimbo for almost 4 years and we're roughly the same age. There are three things about her personality that stand out;


1) Bimbo is an extremely emotional person. Whenever she is happy she bounces around and sings out loud with a huge smile on her face. She very much like a child on Christmas morning. She also tends to cry a lot regardless of where she is. If she sees a sad RSPCA poster on the train she will cry, even if she is travelling alone. I worry about her being in the outside world. There are hundreds of sick people that would spot her venerability a mile away and take advantage of her.


2) Bimbo is not the smartest person in the world. In fact she seems to be quite far from it. For a long time Bimbo believed that you had to be elected to vote in a general election. I remember the actual conversation 3 years ago when she discovered that she could vote;


Bimbo: "I feel bad for Tony Blair. He's just trying to do his job. It must be hard being in charge"

Me: "Well you should vote Labour in the next election"

Bimbo: "I would definitely, if I got elected to vote"

Me: "....um...what?"

Bimbo: "You know, if I got that letter in the post saying that I've been elected to vote. I've never had one so I should get one soon."

Me: "But you can vote.... that's the whole idea of a general election!"

Bimbo: "You mean anytime?"

Me: "Um yes!"


I really don't know what planet she's been living on so far...


3) Bimbo is a hypacondriact. Its very difficult to be one if you can't grasp what the actual condition is. She once hit her head on a cupboard door and freaked out because she thought it caused a brain tumor. Most GPs have a three day waiting list for an appointment, but Bimbo seems to get one straight away. I think the doctor must get a kick out of what she tells him. It must brighten up his dull day...


This morning I found her at her desk read eyed flicking through Heat magazine. Hoping that she wasn't upset that Sienna Miller had the same shoes as her, I asked her what was wrong. She burst into tears and told me that she thinks she's pregnant.


I would like to believe her I really would. But I really don't know what to say. I advised her to take a pregnancy test. Apparently the clinic won't give her a free one because she's had quite a few this year so she'll have to pay £29.99 for one at the local chemist on her way home from work.


When I got to my office I started to worry. What if she is pregnant? How on earth is she going to deal with it?
Friendship is so straining on the brain!

I have a co-worker/friend who is also very emotional.
She tomorrow is her last day at work because her emotional actions put a lot of pressure on her by the bosses.
I'm not sure how people like that survive.

Brilliant. And yes, apparently friendship to the... I'm attempting to find a better word than 'incompetent' but, even while in my English class, I fail to do so. Interestingly enough you found my blog after I found yours... I'm going to be adding elisecrets to my list of worthwhile blogs. Wonder if you might do me the same favor since I'm looking for a bit of a network.

Again, brilliant.

xoxo,

She can't be pregnant.

She hasn't received the card in the mail saying she was eligible for it.

I love your blogs- the Bimbo one especially! You have asked me some questions in regards to my last blog. It does raise many questions doesn't it. Patience my dear, patience.
