Have you considered that getting sick has become a coping mechanism for you? That you get sick to avoid the consequences of stress? I’m not saying that you’re not getting legitimately sick. Cold/flu like symptoms are a result of a triggered immune system. Maybe your immune system is activating as a kind of learned response? I don’t know how one would stop such a thing from happening, if it is indeed happening.

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
