Factitious Disorder

I am factitious disorder. The only cause of my disorder is my yearn for attention. I always feel the need to have people focused on me. All of the symptoms I experience are created by myself to recieve the attention of others. Some days I like to fake sick, other days I like to break my arm. Many people like me inflict damage or hurt their bodies in order to win the attention and sympathy of the people around us. Sometimes I pretend to be sick so I don't have to go to school and my mom can stay home and take care of me. I have become very good at faking the symptoms of the flu and know exactly what to do to get my mom to bring me to the doctor. I like when people feel sympathy for me and give me attention to my needs. My disorder is linked with kids who were abused and had parents that were ill all the time growing up.
