I like being sick. I like being in the hospital?!
Question: Is there something wrong with me? Do I need to go see someone or something? I have had bulimia for 4 years now (not regularly or anything) and on occasion starve myself. I like the idea of being in the hospital and being sick. I dont know what is wrong with me.

There is an illness (i'm sorry i can't remember the name of it for the life of me!) which involve wanting to be/making yourself sick in order to go to doctors and hospitals. Doctors and hospitals can give us a sense of safety, of being looked after, or being cared for... usually this suggest that there is a deep seated need for this and it's not being fulfilled.
My advice is discussing this with a GP (a decent one!) and a counselor (again, it's vital to find one that you work well with!) as they should be very understanding of what's going on and offer solutions to it.
If there is 'something wrong with you' it is something that is happening to other people and that can be fixed, don't let people make you feel bad about it, if ur taking steps to overcome it that's a really great thing!
Best of luck sweetie ^_^
yes you are weird if you like being sink and if you like being in the hospital you are super weird .
That's eventually going to turn into a really bad thing. I would recommend concealing. (no offense)
Are you doing that for attention? If so thats not good you really need to get some help.maybe talk to your parents or grandparents who ever you with.bulimia is very dangerous..im big...an i love it.i dont care what others think bout me cuz im me.you should think the same way.
You have a need for attention. That is why you like being in the hospital and why you are bulimic on occasion. People in the hospital get attention because they are sick. I would wonder why you need so much attention. Do you not get enough? I think you need to talk to someone about why you need so much attention that you are willing to starve yourself to get it. There are some people who create illnesses just for attention, they even do things to their kids for the attention they get from always having to take them to the hospital. I would get help before you start doing this as well. It's called Munchhausen's syndrome.
Unfortunately you are doing all this for attention. You may not know it outright, but truly, attention is your driving motivation. It's not the "illnesses" you like so much but the care and attention you are recieving at the hospital. Hey, who doesn't like being waited on hand and foot while they lay in bed all day! However, you have taken this to another level. I can't say for sure whether or not you are truly in need of medical attention with your "illnesses" or if you are making up your symptoms. I can suggest to you that if it's medical attention you desire maybe a change over to a psychologist or psychiatrist would be a better option given your history of eating disorder. I'm not saying you're crazy but I strongly believe that these doctors would be a better choice for you, instead of putting a burden on the medical staff that could be attending to other more serious complications.
Try eating regularly. If you stop eating (lets say, breakfast), eventually your weight will decrease and you could get horribly sick, which isn't good or healthy and wouldn't be fun. Trust me, you wouldn't even think it would be fun.
