He’s holding me back!” His attitude toward Obi-Wan is consistent, in both times, he expresses his frustration about him: this cannot be defined as alternating between idealizing and devaluing others in a relationship.

Attachment says, “I love you, so I want you to make me happy”. Thus, all life is torment, sliding, short-lived pleasure, constant fear of loss then pain. Since the fundamental nature of the universe is change, forming attachments to any part of reality will inevitably cause suffering: you will want, which is tormenting, you will get, which is pleasure, then you will lose, which is painful. Therefore, it is a selfish and possessive link, and feeds from fear. Thus, attachment is not the love for these people, but the love for the self, finding joy in having. This inability will develop if someone views his/her loved ones as the sources of his/her happiness and loves them on the basis of how much happiness they bring to him/her.

A relationship between panic disorder and hypochondriasis has been examined in the light of the pathological fear of death that they often share.
A role of the cognitive abnormalities in the genesis of the pathological fear of death has been examined in the panic attacks and hypochondriasis, while a developmentally determined, pervasive mistrust in the bodily functioning and bodily worth has been stressed as a factor that crucially predisposes to the pathological fear of death in hypochondriasis, and to the respective type of hypochondriasis as well. The additional contributing factors have also been taken into consideration: a defect in the defensive and symbolic representation of death, and a general collapse of defensive functioning, with regression to a state of infantile helplessness and revival of the infantile death cognitions.
