Get into therapy.: Some people think they have a disease, b/c they believe that they will get more attention and care from their drs, relatives or other people around them. This need can so strong, it may cause you to want to be ill. Therapy can help you to understanding the underlying reasons for these feelings. U can get your needs met in healthier ways.
