I have actually found a psychopharmacologist and I have made an appt. to see him. Perhaps Brazil isn't as 3rd worldish after all. I'm compiling a list of all the ways in which my behaviour deviates from the normal and one of the things I've noticed is that I have a curious lack of attachmment to people, places or things. I have moved many times in my life and I have always been able to do so without the slightest feeling of regret or loss. I've made quite a few close friends but I've always been able to move on . In fact I prefer moving on to staying put. My husband and I built this rather beautiful house but when money became tight I sold it without a qualm. I've never had a proprietary feeling about anything even my children whom I love dearly. I've always regarded this detachment of mine as a positive Budha-like quality (all things will pass). But now I'm beginning to wonder if this inability to make an emotional investment is a protective mechanism from possible loss, hurt etc. Does anyone else behave in a similar way? Am I really living on a higher plane or am I sicker than I thought I was? Jan
