Paranoia (probably)

My hair’s a mess 

Cause I slept on the floor again 

That’s probably the root

Of all of my problems 

 

Maybe I have Munchausen

No that’s definitely not right

But paranoia makes me think

That I’m about to die

 

I feel guilty, am I faking

If I was at school

I would be fine

Parents who feed delusion 

Make me feel I’m not alright 

 

My brain is so confused 

I don’t know what’s a lie

I probably need help

But I could be that

I stay up at night

 

I feel sick to my stomach 

But maybe that’s just stress 

It’s because it’s dark outside 

I love storms but never less 

 

I never know what’s 

wrong with me

I feel extremely guilty

For something I don’t know

If I did in the first place

Munchausen (now known as fictitious disorder) is a condition where someone’s fakes having (or gives themselves) a illness/condition. There are two types of muchausen one called Hypochondria which is an anxiety disorder in witch someone actually thinks they have a condition, the person genuinely believes that they have the condition, it is not that the person who has hypochondria Is faking their illness/condition for any sort of benefit as they genuinely believe to have it. The other type of muchausen is malingering where someone fakes disorders or medical conditions for a benefit, eg getting medication, getting out of military drafting, they may also fake test results to convince others of their fictitious illness(/es). What I am talking about in this poem is hypochondria, part of me also thinks I’ve somehow convinced myself that I have hypochondria and I don’t think that’s the case, I think I’m just paranoid (when I say I’m paranoid I have no diagnosis and I’m talking about it as an emotion and not a medical condition) that I am sick in some way.
