Is it normal to want to be sick?

Ever since I was a little kid every disease, cancer, or disorder I have seen I have wanted to have. Like today, someone in my speech class did a speech on breast cancer and I found myself hoping I got it. My sister got it when she was 32 and I was jealous that it was her and not me.

    When I was 5 or 6, I was truly obsessed with the idea of having surgery. It was my greatest wish. Then I got apendicitis, so my dream was fulfilled and I never thought about that again.

  • It's normal to want a cold to stay home from school or something, but it's not normal to want a horrid disease...

    You probably have munchousins diease where you want the attention assoiated with having a disease. You should talk to someone.

    I also wish that I was sick,
    But it's probably for different reasons

    You've got some major problems my dear. Sounds like a big form of attention seeking especially watching your sister go through it.

    just wait until you actually DO get something... you probably won't think its so great.
    is it that you just want sympathy and to be taken care of? if thats the case then, i would get some counseling.

    This is called hypochondriasis and it's a somataform disorder. Look it up, it may help you.

      Hypochondriasis is the constant fear or feeling like you have various diseases. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the WANTING of diseases doesn't fit into that category. I think it might be some other psychological disorder.
