Community Munchausen's by Internet (Malingerers, Munchies, Spoonies, etc) - Feigning Illnesses for Attention

[buoyverificationfuel]

I have another possible new munchie with a lot of potential - not going to name a name because they seem like the type to DFE, so I'll just call them Munch.

Munch seems like the average fat transtender service dog munchie with no actual physical ailments. He claims DID with a number of alters who all are apparently old-school scene/emo, and some of them are also angels? He claims anorexia despite being visibly overweight. Additionally, he claims C-PTSD and schizoaffective disorder, and has attempted suicide by insulin. He posts photos of his meal replacement drinks with hairy self-harm-scarred legs in the background.
The only reason I think he has potential compared to every other BPD patient oversharing on instagram is that his social media presence goes back to July 2016. Almost six years of content? There has to be a good story there.

I don't have the time to completely archive myself (I'm working on an in-depth post on someone else at the moment), if anyone is particularly interested let me know.
I'll get some screenshots once I'm on mobile again.

the ER visit where she was diagnosed was definitely the one she posted the discharge papers from

So the discharge paperwork was actually sent in a group chat between her and some of her friends. The screenshot was then leaked to me.

Spoiler: updates since my original post

Since my original post, here's some updates of her shenanigans.
Claims to have died multiple times in her sleep, and claims that is happening again.

You know, casually dying in your sleep multiple times. As one does.

She's not claiming to be admitted right now, is she? Because if she's not at a hospital, how will she survive it happening at home? She seems very blasé about all this annoying dying-in-her-sleep stuff.

Also I like how she will graciously accept prayers.

Dx'd munchie tells internet that they are a dx'd munchie (in denial of course). What gives?

Spoiler: A selection of reddit posts

The rest of his posts are screenshots of his at-home mobile ECG reader and trying to convince the docs on reddit that his normal ECG is grossly abnormal.

No, she's not claiming to be currently in the hospital. She's made several mentions about having been resuscitated multiple times by a slew of different men or friends.

Just wanted to post here that a very popular youtuber made a video on munchies and MBP and it's fucking hilarious that the munchies are already in the comments in full force looking for that precious attention

Do videos/youtubers like that tend to cite their sources? If they do, and they sourced the farms, it could mean a lot of new people joining.
Faking in general, and the fake disorder cringe subreddits, seem like they're becoming trendy discussion topics recently. Anyone remember ticsandroses? I got recommended a video about her today. Watched it, now the algorithm knows my secret hobby, and I got a ton of videos covering FDC/DID cringe. There are some decently popular videos out there right now about Kelly Ronahan and a few months ago there were zero.

Rate me but I'm hoping this could be the start of it becoming socially acceptable to call out obvious munchies, or at the very least cultivating healthy skepticism.

Remember that girl who was obsessed with being a tubercular Victorian dying in a sanitarium? She came here and posted, I think. Her husband was a nonce and she would get dressed up in ridiculous costumes to go to the doctor.

Anyway, this guy writes so much like her it is uncanny. They'll "instantly detain" him, u guise. Dude needs to take some hydroxyzine and go for a walk.

Reminds me of Ondine's curse (which is the coolest name for a condition ever so I refuse to call it central hypoventilation syndrome.)

You breathe fine while you're awake but stop breathing the instant you go to sleep. If you're not hooked up to a ventilator then you die. For real real die, not munchie die.

If more diseases were referred to as curses, would there be more male munchies thinking it makes them sound badass? Would that risk be worth it?

I’ve found another woman who says she’s gone onto hospice due to EDS/MCAS/Lyme and will die soon etc etc. She has a few red flags - she talks about specialists giving up on her or pushing her aside which to me always screams munchie. She’s very Christian and her posts are all about how god is perfect and she can’t wait to be with him in heaven. Her poor family

Her username is brooklyn_speaks if anyone wants to do a deep dive, I can’t go super in depth with screenshots bc I’m busy at work atm but here’s a couple! She says she’s going off her meds on January the 17th and will be dead by February.

Just wanted to give an update for this chick. Shes still "dying".

I found this on one of her Instagram posts. Interesting that a doctor told her she was faking for attention.

I may keep an eye on her and see what miracle keeps her from dying. To me it's fairly obvious she wants the attention dying brings especially from Christians. The Facebook post was shown to me by family member and it just screamed munchie to me.

Just wanted to mention an interesting conversation I had with a patient like an hour ago. We were talking about her son having shit veins and having a difficult time getting blood drawn and he does it often so I asked her about him getting a port. She bluntly said they won't give him a port. When aksing why she said many doctors are far more skeptical recently about giving ports because of the rise in port abuse. Sorry for the powerlevel but I thought this was quite interesting. And yea I have not seen many patients with ports that often these days. i do know they make dissoluble ones now

Basically with durggies and getting pills, seems like munchies might be making it harder to get stuff like ports even or at least make dsoctors more skeptical. This is anecdotal of course.

Salvation is better than one million puppies? Fuck you bitch, that's lunacy. A lot of Gods were associated with dogs in some way for a reason... Hekate, Sirona, Hades, Anubis etc. Imagine following a religion where something that cannot be proven, a subjective concept like salvation is worth more than a million, realass puppies.

Ikr, so true. I think most real terminally ill people would see a puppy visit as a gift from God if they were xtian.

Man, that really sucks for the people who actually need ports. I understand that doctors need to be (and should be) skeptical, but I couldn't imagine being a parent who is getting things denied that are actually needed.

To shed a little light on this. Salvation is supposed to be this amazing spiritual transformation. Where Jesus enters your heart and makes you a new person. After that you are supposed to spread the word and bring others into the fold. as to the puppy thing, dogs are temporary but hell is forever. So it's better to be saved and forced to worship god for eternity than have a puppy and go to hell. As the puppy could be a distraction and you could love it more than Jesus. Yeah it's pants on head stupid. I've been to church all my life and I've seen every kind of hypocrisy you can think of from people like her. In my experience the ones who shout the loudest, cry the most, or proclaim how much they love Jesus are the one's to watch out for. They're usually pretty good at justifying abhorrent behavior. Take Brooklyn for example fake dying and lying for attention is ok with god because she's spreading the teachings of Jesus. I am religious but in my opinion a good dog is more proof of God than any holy book.
