I suffer from ulcerative colitis and about 6 yrs ago I was hospitalized or a week bc it got so bad. I thought I was having another flare so I called the doc for an appt- she wants to do bloodwork to see where my inflammatory levels are.

To make a long story short, I walked in the hospital today to get the bloodwork done and I miss it. I honestly say I wish I could be sick enough to get hospitalized. As insane as that is! I know it's insane but I also know I'm not making up symptoms to get there. No way. When I was in there for the hopsital for that week I was scared an just wanted to go home- so it's not like I like it wen jm sick and there..u know?

Why is that? Is it because I like being taken care of? Or I like being special and having something wrong with me? It's demented but it is what it is...

what could be demented about wanting to be taken care of, wanting someone to 'make it all better' when we don't feel well? I think it sounds like knowing what you need, to feel cared about and to feel better.

I hope you feel much better soon!
