About
My name is..well it isn't but I'm going by Xhumation in this board.

I am a psychologist who happens to enjoy gaming a lot.

Fighting games, a solid story these are things that just make my day.

I've always wondered how playing games since the age of 4 has influenced my personality but I'd rather not think too hard about that.

1.- [b]I worked in a psychiatric hospital for almost two years:[/b]
I'm a psychologist and for the first two years of my professional life I was tasked with preparing occupational
therapy for patients for patients of said hospital. I was in touch with some pretty interesting personalities and I
managed to come out with my sanity and some great experiences.

2.- I'm a writer
For the past 4 years I've been doing some freelance work for local newspapers and magazines. I'm more
well known for writing about the psychosocial implications of hard rock.

3.- I probably think too hard about comic books
I've been reading comic books since I was 8 (I'm 22 right now) and I keep wondering how they influenced my
life. I think that the Fantastic Four thought me the concept of family and that "Xavier's Dream" thought me to
be tolerant and respectful of my fellow man.

4.- I'm somewhat of a cliche
I live in Guadalajara, México. I love Futbol (soccer) particularly Club Deportivo Guadalajara A.C. and I had
dinner at a taco stand last night.



5.- I can die happy
I've seen my three favorite bands live. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

6.- I'm a victim of medical stupidity
5 years ago I was diagnosed with an unusual form of epilepsy that was causing me a speech impediment.
around 6 months ago another doctor discovered that I was never epileptic. The first doctor I saw was an idiot
that misdiagnosed me.

I was wrongly medicated for 5 years and 18 years of suffering from an speech impediment went away with 3
months of speech therapy, this also means that my voice changed when I was 22 which is just weird.

7.- I'm Straight Edge
Since I was medicated for so long I couldn't really drink or smoke. so I never really bothered and really have
no interest in it.

8.- I'm single
That one is for the ladies.

9.- Love and Shadow
"De amor y de sombra" (Of love and Shadow) by Isabel Allende is my favorite book ever. It's a paranormal,
political, historical love story.

10.- Apparently I'm a procrastinator.
I just realized that it took me almost a year to write my first Destructoid C-blog.[b]

BONUS FACTS!!

-This C-blog was written while listening to Bloody Kisses by Type O Negative which is the sexiest metal
album ever.[img]

- Xhumation. is the name of a series of X-men stories I started writing when I was in high school

We'll spread the word on #8, it'll be fixed in no time!
@ #6.

Doctors can be evil with their misdiagnoses. A very dear friend of mine was suffering from a mystery disease that ended up being Lyme Disease. For a solid year she was told by doctor after doctor that it was all in her head. Then another doctor told her it was something else entirely. The treatment that was described was wrong, and ended up being very harmful for her. It wasn't just wasted time, it actually set her back a few years.

It's amazing how much faith we put in doctors. Sadly, they're just as fallible as anybody else. They will often take shortcuts to thinking. And in the end that can be very devastating.

I'm glad that you were ultimately able to get resolution. Even if it wasn't at the right time, and it probably caused more difficulties throughout. At least you can now move forward from it.

Also, fucking doctors. They can hurt just as much as they help.
