Friends! This turned out a lot more relatable than I thought. I’m learning we all need therapists

I DESPERATELY wanted to go into a coma because I thought everyone hated me and I wanted to see if anyone would show up for me <3

27

I did and would ask my mom who was in nursing school vague questions like “if the dresser was to fall on me would I need stitches?” My mom “probably why?” Me “no reason.” Then would patter back to my bedroom thinking ‘drat….i hate stitches…’

26

Oh yall were thinking injury? I was picturing people finally caring at my funeral and I'd cry myself to sleep 💀

24

I still do this!!

16

i did! i also wanted to get kidnapped😛

13

Actually yes. I constantly fantasize about ending up in the hospital just to see if anyone would be bothered to show up. Sometimes it gets worse cause I overthink myself into scenarios where I die in the hospital alone.

i did and it seems pretty common tbh i see it talked abt online a lot

8

no i did too i swear you're valid (go to therapy though)

Yes but it is a psychological thing that you should talk to your therapist about!!

I still think this way in my 20s 🥲

6

Umm I think that’s you but I can understand

3

yes 🫩 but when i did get sick or injured it made things worse because i was even more of an inconvenience

3

I did! one time I told my mom about it and still remember the concern when she said “no you’re always loved”

It’s definitely a symptom of not feeling heard or cared for as a child. I experienced it too. Looking back as an adult makes it so obvious that we were just pained children who wished those around us actually realized our worth n our value, smthing we didn’t have the circumstances to make sure was expressed to us

i used to pray for god to take cancer away from kids who had it and give it to me instead

And then I was hospitalized with colitis (basically shit-a-lot-for-a-couple-of-days disease) and I didn’t tell a SOUL because I was embarrassed 🥀🥀🥀

I used to daydream abt being kidnapped for a few days during which I gained the trust of my captor and outsmarted him to escape 😭

I wanted a cast so people could sign it, I thought that was so cool
