Is there a mental disorder where you want cancer? This person I know really wants cancer for some reason. She has BPD and Binge eating disording. But she doesn’t actually have anything physically wrong. I know her personally, a lot of the pages she likes on Facebook are about childhood cancer and different hospitals that she’s never been to, and even hospitals that are out of state. I find her behavior odd. Why would you wish you had a serious and deadly disease when you are perfectly healthy? I know people who have died from cancer. It was terrible what they went through. It’s nothing to want.
