Sometimes I wish I had a serious illness....just for a little while. Nothing too painful or terminal, just something that will keep me hospitalized for a while. I feel like that is the only way I could ever get a break from every day stresses. All of my basic needs would be taken care of my someone else for awhile and I wouldn't be expected to able to work, so I wouldn't have to feel guilty for taking time off. Is that normal?

    This might sound really horrible, but since the big earthquake happened in Japan, I've kind of wished that I was there. It just seems like it would be nice to focus on one thing and not on a billion things that crowd your normal life. When you go on vacation, you're trying to figure out which activities to do and you're feeling awkward about this and that. When there's a huge earthquake or you find out you have cancer, you are just fighting one thing and everything else in your life is moot. I don't imagine that either of those things are any good when you really go through them, but there is definitely something attractive about the idea.

    I have a serious illness, trust me, you do NOT want that. It may seem like a good thing but it really is not! It's terrible!

    It's normal when you're stressed out of your head. When I worked at a hospital, sometimes I wished I could trade places with one of the patients, then I'd get to lie down.

    But of course I don't want to actually get sick. But it's normal to seem to want to do anything to get some rest.

    a vacation is better than being in the hospital. trust me, i've done both. besides, the guilt would be there in the hospital too. you need some "you" time.

    Just taking a vacation isn't enough if you feel guilty for taking time off. You spend the whole time worrying about what you are not getting done and what your boss thinks that you can't just relax and enjoy yourself.

    I feel the same way. I don't want to be on death's door just something that makes me sick enough to be away from everything and everyone.

    I've been sick a lot for the past two months and if it isn't really serious then you won't get hospitalized. You should never wish yourself sick cuz I wish I wasn't. Maybe you're just in need of a vacation, because it would cost more to stay on a hospital than a week at Disney world.

    I sometimes feel the same way... Never would really want anything serious but something like needing my tonsils... But I am sure it would get old after about 2 wks
