Tattoos are all terrible. All tattoos should be banned, and the people who get them, imprisoned.

I had no idea any of this existed. I need to learn more.

I’m so sorry to hear this. All blessings and prayers to you, my dear. I have lived in hell myself.

The difference between want and need isn’t really murky. If you live on the street and have nothing to your name, you might *want* money, but you *need* food.

I need to be paraplegic. I cannot live without that. Right now, I am not living, I am merely surviving, going through the motions. I am in hell. Every day, every minute, every breath I take is hell. I need to be paralysed. It’s that simple.

Thank you, Sean. I will read again, and check out the link.

Meanwhile, the difference between ‘want’ and ‘need’ continues to be a somewhat murky area, from my perspective.

A couple points of correction.

BIID is not only about people requiring amputations. Many conditions / impairments may be sought. For instance, I need to be paralysed. A friend of mine needs to be blind, another needs to be deaf. Please note, we do not *want* to be disabled, we *need* to. It is outside of our control. It is called Body Identity Integrity DISORDER.

Further, my blog entry is not about wanting the sympathy of people with disabilities. If that’s what you took out of it, I invite you to read again.

Another site that might interest you if you are into researching this condition is BIID-Info, which has most of the research and academic writing about BIID.
