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

[NoodleFucker3000]

Something common I've noticed with the munchies: most of them have broken arms. It's more common with munchies, than normal people. Do munchies purposefully break their arms to get heavy painkillers (like opiates)?

It's not that difficult to break an arm, especially when someone is a munchie and is already fucking up their bones with shitty diets, steroids and whatever else they take. Breaking a leg,however, pretty hard to do without a hammer or a weapon of some kind. Even Kelly was able to stand on her exposed leg bones.

There certainly is some sort of form of "power of suggestion" in the world, but not in the "buy my shill book and you'll get rich and powerful" way.

Noodlefucker already mentioned it: a lot of munchies take medications and generally fuck with their health via neglect. There was a munchie here who took so many medications and shit that her bones dissolved and paralyzed her, which, AFAIK, was the end of the public munching arc as she got what she wanted, basically.

Spoiler: tldr: bpd-ness makes you accident-prone, and Blibblblly meets a monster in the making

I have known several women with low-self esteem or BPD issues who ended up in these bizarre accidents. Like tripping down stairs or falling off podiums. You'd think they'd be lies, like "oh, my boyfriend didn't punch me, I just fell down the stairs", but I've actually witnessed them happen or there were credible witness/it was in public.

The women in my life who've self-injure also tend to trip/fall or even in car accidents way more than the norm. Sometimes I think it's drug-related, not illicit things but like being in a daze due to your Xanax or whatever, perhaps plus alcohol being involved. Sometimes I think it's a purposeful lack of protective mechanism, and of course sometimes it might be a veiled attempt to harm themselves or get attention in munchie's case. And being clumsy and accident-prone can be caused by uncontrolled anxiety, being fat, malnourished and weak, and plenty of medications. Cluster-B disorders aren't known for the best planning skills or self-control, hence getting into more car accidents.

Bliblbly meets a monster in the making

I once in school knew a bona fide extreme compulsive liar. She would show you a watermarked stock image of a horse in front of a mountain range and tell you it was her horse in her uncle's ranch in Kansas. She would tell you she was the grandchild of various celebrities who had no children and died in 1860. No, she wasn't 6, she was 16.

However, at any point, she was liable to tell you the story of how she got a bunch of teeth knocked out at a football game because they accidently struck her with a flagpole during a half-time show. This was true: lots of witnesses backed it up. She also had a bizarre incident involving being hit by a golf cart, then being hit by a car just a week later. Both were also verified as true by witnesses, but to this day: I believe she let herself get hit by the car because she wanted more of the attention she got from the golf cart. Yes, she was that bad. And guess what- she broke her arm.

She also dressed extremely promiscuously and flirted a lot, but any man with a brain in is head would have nothing to do with her because we all knew she would accuse you of raping her if you so much as gave a church hug. She once took rejection texts to the principal saying that a guy saying "I do think you are sexy, but you are crazy, so we can't date" was sexual harassment and -can't make this up- an implied threat that he was going to kidnap and rape her since he admitted attraction but wouldn't date her. Her facebook was full of long rants on topics like this- she kinda got me into lolcows, NGL. Those rants were funny.

Her family was well-off and her siblings seemed stable, I really think she was just a bad seed.

In men, I have seen a shitload of broken fingers and wrists that come directly from punching walls/objects due to mental issues. Once I joked about this to someone when I saw their wrist cast in an old photo about this. It was not a good joke: turned out yeah, he broke his wrist punching a wall.

And finally:
Whenever munchies or anyone with mental problems in general gets an infection in a wound, you have to wonder if it was caused by self-neglect, whether for the express purpose of attention/sick role, or subconscious beliefs that impede following the doctor's orders/maintaining hygiene.

@Kate Farms Shill

Holy hell, I have died and gone to munchie heaven. These update posts have been outstanding, thank you for your considerable efforts. I totally agree with everyone that you've done a sterling job. Especially Abby in particular - words fail me.

This thread and Chelsea's are my current favourites. It's a particularly poignant time since Chelsea has just discovered her thread, and has simultaneously been booted off all her healthcare services and meds. Delicious.

Munch not lest ye be found munching.

EDIT: formatting

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

Well if'in it isn't the answer to "Why did Abby and Valerie stop talking to each other?"


Found while sorting through my loot from another account I (probably) will not be posting for assorted reasons. Primarily that midway through sorting I realized she's like 15 whoops.

Bee update part 1: The Carers

Spoiler: Bee's Care Mare

We left Bee back in October. She'd launched herself as a choreographer attempting to piggyback off online dance teacher Guy Groove and after being ghosted by Drewynovaclara and a total no show to her class she did what any good munchie does in that situation and called the Bee boo bus for a Hospital Holiday
Where she proceeds to attention seek and annoy the fuck out of everybody.
I bet she did.

People are trying to sleep, Bernardette.

Now, this little soiree was prompted by the dance class disappointment for sure, but something else was going on in Bee's world. Earlier that week one of Bee's carers made a hilarious crack about how if she didn't like something she could just get out and walk.

HA! HA! HA! WHAT A SILLY GOOSE!
Sounds like the carers are getting sick of the crisps. Something has gone on. Perhaps an allegation has been made. Its not clear but Bee makes a series of bizarre posts from hospital where she is refusing to leave, saying she feels unsafe with her carers and won't have them in the house.

In this post she claims to have attempted suicide by yanking her cannula out in protest.

Spoiler: screenshots

She is yeeted nonetheless and admits she had nothing more than a case of the shits.

Its clear, however, that the crisps have had a visit from social services. Bee's room is given a hasty clean up and the daddy crisp floor mattress vanishes never to be seen again.

The Carers get the official boot.

From this point on there are no carers coming into the house. Mummy and daddy crisp are on their own with the monster they created.

Theyve clearly been told by social services to dress her as an adult and take her out of the house.


Bee has to now prove that she needs a different care company.


In all this turmoil Bee sadly loses her Hindu faith.

But the crisps do seem to have wangled a new motability car.


Annual Halloween Beeposting

Around this time, Bee munches too close to the sun. She apparently throws a bunch of fits that are so sus it leads to the following sequence of events.

Bee carries on posting at the same time and doesn't acknowledge her big fit when it happens which is unlike her.
From a discord chat at the time we comment on why daddy is posting that shes in hosptial and shes happily tagging the groovy gang.

Days later she decides on her narrative and addresses it.

Followed by a vague projection rage post about fakers.

But it's too late. Bee is off for a week of intensive monitoring at the Chalfont centre. Her precious epilepsy diagnosis is on the line.


Tune in next time Bee fans to see shit begin to meet fan in crisp land.

Wow, is it just me or did Melodee Young get very old looking very quickly? Not sure if it's the lack of UV or Limey genetics but she looks horrible.

This thread has been amazingly entertaining again now that the site is mostly back up; big thanks to the dedicated farmers here bringing in the fresh milk!

I had a question for those of you who have a good eye for munch vs real chronic illness: how often do people *really* have the holy grail of hEDS, POTS, and chiari malformation? I’ve encountered a few in the wild claiming a couple or all three and unfortunately I immediately suspect munching. Google leads me to believe that they aren’t common in reality (especially chiari being diagnosed in an adult), but I figure a few of you here have done deeper dives on these issues due to how often they’re claimed by the munchcows here.

Chiari malformations aren't exactly vanishingly rare or anything, but they're usually asymptomatic and just incidental findings when someone's being imaged for something else. I could see a few munchies having it and like everything else it's now ruining their life.

I haven't run into that one before personally. Definitely various combinations of hEDS/POTS/GP/CRPS/fibro/CFS with BPD always riding along in the sidecar.

Discussions about munchies in the medical community always tend to be funny. Doctors are like "hmm well considering how these diagnoses tend to cluster there may be some underlying etiology we haven't found yet" and nurses are like "these bitches got BPD and are faking illnesses for attention."

I think we're both right.

 

[Bees on Toast]

I think it doesn't help that most actual disabled people, like other normal people, want privacy and try to avoid asking for help out of pride. I feel like munchies used to at least try to base things off of tidbits of the truth, but since then it's basically developed its own lore. Kids these days!

Spoiler: stupid stoned sperging

I'm no medfag but from what I understand, joint laxity is relatively common in female adolescents, though it's usually a mild inconvenience at worst. Some of these girls end up in these weird communities and it becomes a sort of oppression olympics thing. The kicker is that people with mild cases tend to grow out of it.

They made the sick girl role the foundation of their personality. In munchie groups, to go "I'm cured!" is met with snark and condescension instead of congratulations. By not having anything making them sick, they risk having to contend with losing both their social circles and their sense of identity. Basically they get in over their heads.

That is, if they're one of the ones who ever had joint pain at all. I've seen a lot who are just using only the Instagram-worthy most consumable parts of someone's real experience that they posted online and taking it to the extreme. Constant competition and one-upmanship plays a part too.

It's about fitting in. If they weren't munching, it would be something else. Eating disorders, DID fakers, etc. There seems to be a lot of overlap, too. Those all tend to draw in some particular personality types. This kind of very elaborate roleplaying is one thing when it's teenagers doing something harmless because they're teenagers and playing out different roles is exactly what they're supposed to be doing. I don't know exactly where I would draw the line but fuck's sake, any of these weirdos over 30 is way way past it.

Or maybe not, what do I know.

Spoiler: PL, bit of med sperg, and update on an old munchie

Years ago I had gotten into one of the communities that munchies frequent. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, before connecting with other chronically ill people was possible outside of a hospital so I was all for it. Anyway, at first all these Facebook groups were cool. It was interesting to hear others' experiences. Until it wasn't. It pretty quickly devolved into the oppression olympics and as a regular ass sick person who also has a life outside of having chronic illnesses that's just not my thing. The only real positive was meeting one of these retards for real, and realizing they were a munchie. Totally tainted the whole community. I only keep in touch with a select few now, and they have regular lives like I do.

Anyway, munchie update: I used to live near Kat Loosmoore and we happened to connect through a FB group. One day we met, I visited her in the hospital, because of fucking course. It was one of the most awkward experiences of my life. I still keep up with her on FB and insta though, she's still fat but has lost some weight, wears wigs, and now has a boyfriend. She also walks again!

I don't know how to archive on mobile (can you?) but anyone who wants to have a look her current instagram handle is @barfqueen. It's been almost a decade since I met her IRL so I feel like I've laid low long enough.

Something a little sad for munch milk enjoyers happened last night/early this morning but I don't think its necessarily directly related to my last post. Overall its a good thing for reasons that will become clear in the next 2 updates.

The munch, caught in a web of her own lies and inappropriate behaviour towards minor girls DFEs again. She hasn't closed the account but all the content is gone.
Dont worry kiwis of course it was all archived and the rest of the updates are coming.
I hadn't told people because of the fear of weens tipping the cow but Bee went public just after Christmas. She was so convinced that fame was waiting for her and that her private account was the only thing holding her back that common sense left her.
She did not get the influx of followers she expected. Her count increased by 10 the entire time she was public but apparently the world was watching and people began to raise the alarm, contacting Guy Groove and the Groovy Gang....well. I won't ruin the story any more. Full updates to follow.
She will be back. Bee has developed over the last year or so into a true narcissist. She believes fame is hers for the taking and she deserves it.

It does when I search from another sock but not from my deep cover mole.
Edit: nope it's gone gone now i must have been viewing a cached ghost in the system.
She already deleted most incriminating stuff when she went public but we had her well archived anyway.
Here's the final post she made on stories last night.

We need all munch hunters on full alert across social platforms the next few weeks and months. I predict a new identity and a new backstory may emerge on tiktok. Insta is dead in the water.

Two of them are common enough, and all I can say about Chiari is most people go to their graves without ever getting an MRI of their head or neck. They used to think blown discs in the middle of your back were rare and it turns out they're common and just don't bother people most of the time.

There's nothing wrong with being incredulous about shit though.

Edit: I guess I can't just say "munchy" outright because people with hEDS seem to be way more likely to have had an MRI for whatever reason. Just because they have it doesn't mean it's causing any of their problems.

 

[pictures of the moon]

Damn, bee really didn't last long lol.

 

[A tree]

She lasted longer than I thought. As we know she takes anything less than glowing praise as a personal attack so going public was never going to end well. She got some mildly negative feedback for stereotyping autism and did a narc non pology and then last week someone who knows ballet came into the comments after bee "taught" a "ballet" class and gave her some advice you'd give tiny tots just beginning ballet because she was obviously not doing it properly.
The ego wounds were already building.

Rose enjoying her trach.

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

You gross me out, Rose. But not just because of the trache.

 

[A tree]

Beloved Medfags, can you re watch this clip for me and confirm something. Rose doesn't seem to be on the vent any more ever in any of her recent clips. She seems to say in this confession vid that she can't have the trach cuff inflated without triggering coughing and vomiting that made her stop breathing (I think from my own reading around breathing difficulties in trach patients whats happened is most likely it sent her into bronchospasm). She's since deleted it completely.
Is she actually saying between the lines that rather than failing the speaking valve she can't have the vent on with the the trach at all?
