Just try to not think of it. Sadly, its just one of those things we all have to put up with.
And it doesn't matter whether you accept it or not, because we can't change what we are made of.

Mhhh prehaps you just hate the thought of guts and blood but because your body is closest to you,you feel sick and weak?

Well there's only two things that can happen: one, you get over it, two, you go completely crazy and rip out all your organs.
I don't mean to be rude, but yes it actually does sound like there might be something wrong with you mentally.

Have you tried therapy?

Is there something wrong with me mentally? I hate the thought that I have a load of soppy disgusting organs inside me etc it makes me feel weak and sick. There is the option of not thinking about it but then its like not accepting it. Ive become really squimish about it over the past few weeks.


Eugh I sort of know what you mean. I always hated human biology, thinking that all that erm 'stuff' was what I looked like inside :/ Just don't think about it is all you can do. :smile:

Erm, I dunno what to say here really... I'm afraid you're stuck with it all inside you.

You can't see it!!! So surely that's ok?

But if it becomes a serious matter, go see somebody about it.

Sounds like you have a mental illness.

Do you have the desire to cut off your own limbs etc? I heard about people with this sort of thing before.

Probably the thought scares you because in the end it reminds you of your own mortality. They are just squishy organs and muscles - the kind you eat every day (unless you are a vegetarian). But like death, there is nothing you can do about it. There is no point in thinking about it. You don't have to accept it. Because whether you accept it or not (just like with death), it won't change a thing. You will still be made of organs and you will still die. So don't worry that you have to accept it. Just forget about it. It's not of any real consequence for your life.

I don't think you've got a mental illness lol, I think it's that you don't trust your heart, guts, muscles etc. to last and cope with everything you do. So you feel weak.

But obviously they can cope, because even though you may think of it all as fragile, we are made so perfectly that we can live through all the harm the environment has on our bodies. So don't feel weak because you are not.

What about 3. Hate it but live with it.

OP, you're strange.

Yeah; or 'Materials Science' you could slowly replace all of your tissues and organs with synthetic polymners.

Best advice: try not to think about it.

I prefer to think of it as the marvel of engineering that it is. There is nothing man has created that comes even close.
What you have inside of you is a collection of devices, each of which does it's job, and normally quite a lot of jobs, continuously, for up to 100 years. They don't complain, they don't (in most cases) need replacing, because the design means that they autonomously repair and replace themselves all the time. If you damage them, they repair themselves, they grow when you need them to, and they shrink to conserve energy, and, what's more, each and every tiny part holds the instructions to both build and use your body.

It is the equivalent of your mobile phone develping all the features you need, never charging down, and repairing itself. And, of course, every transistor having the owners manual and design specifications stencilled onto it.

Try finding God.

He's locked up in my cellar ;yes;

OP: It's probably just something you'll have to come to terms with, I doubt you're mentally ill :p:
