Sometimes I feel like this might be true...

I used to be sick a lot as a child because I had disability that was unstable. Now its stable. It got me a lot of attention when I was little due to people having to take care of me.

Maybe this is the answer? =\

I've also thought it mightve had to do with the enviroment I was brought up in. It was pretty unstable. dad was abusive and everyone was always constantly on edge. So my other theory is that I want to recreate it subconciously because its my "norm"

but somehow the attention thing seems more true.
