Sometimes i wish i had a disease so people would feel sorry for me

So in your little fantasy would you be cured or miraculously healed after you had your fill of pity? What kind of disease are we talking here? Terminal? Cause most people die from that you know. Or is it something less severe? Maybe a bad case of gonorrhea huh? Did you think this fantasy through very well? Be careful what you wish for. You had to know someone was going to say that.

I know where you're coming from .. I don't get a lot of attention from my mum, and we don't really get along, as I'm a bit of a disappointment. On Sunday just gone, I broke my elbow and I don't want it to heal, because for the first time in years she's being nice to me :-) x

yeah tbh, i dont think your an attention seeker but you do need to stop wishingg things like that on your self it is normal to feel good when you are ill and people are givingg you attention but i wouldnt wish that because people will get used to it and then not give you it ...

but to be honest it might be because you dont get enough attention

I used to be like that. I guess it was from lack of attention from at home and school. I don't think that way anymore though, since thee are people in my family who are deathly ill. It makes me feel so terrible. I'm thankful I don't have a serious desease, and I hope I never get one.

Sometimes I feel like that I mean I guess we all just want a little more attention

I used to think something similar, instead of looking for the ideal attention, look at what you actually get from being you, be positive, trust me, you get more love and attention from being happy and positive than you do from attracting negative thoughts. Been there done that

So, where in your life do you feel powerless, misunderstood, or downright invisible? That's what's really going on. Major self loathing gone wild.

Yeah, knock on wood. There's a reason they call it "DIS-ease." You won't like it. And any pity you get, you won't even notice it, because you'll be so busy SUFFERING. I remember I almost felt excited when I found out I had epilepsy, but 16 years later, now that my life has been ruined and I'm about to kill myself, I don't feel so 'excited' any more.

This is a real mental illness, i forgot what it's called but you need to visit a psychiatrist.

You HAVE got a disease - mental illness.
