Thanks for the perspective. In your opinion, what would be a better way to treat these girls, or modify existing residential treatment to prevent toxic social dynamics from developing? Is group therapy a net positive or negative at these places?

The TTI could use its own thread on here.

There is one.

Spoiler: more tti sperging

These places are basically universally detrimental, both in theory and practice. Taking kids out of the real world, not letting them talk to anyone outside of their program, and just doing therapy 24/7 doesn't really translate to actual improvement. Lots of kids are great while in treatment and terrible outside of it, or the reverse. I heard the statistic that 70% fail in the first year from the head honcho of one program, so it's probably a bit higher. These places are also almost universally abusive and are typically covering up a whole lot of shit- sending kids back to family members who have admitted to sexually abusing them was a common theme. Staff on teenager sexual assault was like, an every six months kind of thing, and never went to the police.
It's fashionable now to discuss the TTI in absolute terms of abolishment- see TikTok "survivor" discourse- but there's always going to be a class of unstable teenagers who need some sort of intervention. I don't know what the answer is, probably just intensive therapy with mental hospitals as a last resort. And public healthcare. The TTI seems to be rapidly self destructing right now, but I'm sure it will return.

For BPD in particular, it sets an impossible-to-replicate expectation for how much drama one can cause and people like Allyson spend the next however long chasing that, replicating that, coping with that, however you phrase it.

Yeah that whole thread is a hard read but thankfully some of these monsters are finally getting what they've deserved for decades.

Speaking of seizures, let's all have a little laugh break. Who remembers Allyson? For anyone unfamiliar, she is an extremely obese 30something year old woman with "sever" mental illnesses. She fakes all the disorders, and constantly does a horrible job of it. Despite her immense size, she self-inserts an NG feeding tube and uses it to run feeds, along with constant "yums" in the form of Dunkin Donuts drinks and whatever other shit she wants. Nobody really cares about her anymore because she's been doing the same bullshit for years, but occasionally she does something funny.

Alex (who she now admits she is in a relationship with) filmed the end of one of her seizures. The "seizure" itself is delightful, and the horrible video quality makes it seem like it's from a parody of a found footage horror film about demonic possession.

Allyson also goes by Skylar now, for whatever reason.
Edit, forgot a screenshot. This is from a separate post, posted before the video.

Crazy. Her definition of "should be impossible" is... wiggling around a bit.

Her idiocy is honestly wholesome seeming after Rose.

Eta: Allyson did go through in patient treatment at a lovely place in the mountains and got kicked out. She went through a ton of programs iirc.

 

[Jupiter Doughnuts]

I'm curious if anybody has research on how common this phenomenon is overall. Not the full blown tubes + wheelchair insta famous types, but the perfectly healthy young women with an intense disability identity for some reason. I've known a dozen or so of that type IRL, and I'd love if anybody had stats/medfag info about the actual rate of this in the population.

I have a copy of Playing Sick by Marc Feldman (academic book about factitious disorder - amazon link) but I'm more curious about the kind of exaggeration that doesn't rise to the level of a doctor actually slapping factitious disorder in the chart.

 

[SimplyScrumptious]

As a tangent to this - are humiliation fetishes even real? They just seem like an alternate presentation of "haha I was only pretending to be retarded" in the form of "haha you thinking I'm retarded makes me horny". It fits with the munchie profile at least.

I’m assuming they get a thrill off the hot-faced I can’t believe this is happening now everyone’s staring feeling you get when falling over in public / dropping a jar in a store. I dunno how.

Yes I’m clumsy. Yes both things have happened in the last week.

KFS needs a medicinal alcohol donation thing for braving Roses profiles, ohmygod. I can handle gore, I can handle medical horrors. But sexual depravity? Gaping orifices? And the fucking arm length trunk dildo?? How does that even fit? No thank you.
You can feel sexy and confident without showing your body to internet freaks. You can feel safe and loved without resorting to a future Troon who dreams of wearing your skin. You can enjoy sex without resorting to awful acts with a toothbrush.
It’s always bewildering seeing alleged trauma victims seek out borderline abusive sex. Wires really must get crossed for that terror to turn into thrill? Or maybe pouring her piss onto a man gives her a powerful feeling? Idfk. I hate it. I need to stop thinking about it.

Long Covid lady- just lol. Perfectly groomed, with a healthy glow, no muscle wastage, and perfectly clean sheets. Imagine posing in bed for a few photos and earning £75k a fucking month. No wonder they keep it up. I’ve seen crippled adults drag themselves to the bathroom because they can’t bear the thought of being helped and pissing the bed is mortifying. I’ve seen dementia riddled patients waste away in front of me because they’re certain they’ve already eaten. I’ve seen grown men breakdown because their arm won’t work after a stroke.
That Is mere performance. Anyone taking part should feel deeply fucking ashamed.

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

She recently got out of a long stint in a state psych hospital (late February - early May). Interestingly, we haven't seen an ng tube since February; maybe she's too focused on a different part of her terrible larp?

Anyway, have this picture that I was forced to see when double-checking those dates:

Jesus Christ. those cutting scars. Her entire forearms are just masses of scar tissue.

I didn't look closely and thought it was wrinkled skin from wearing a bandage or something.
Now you've made me look closer. Holy Fuck!
That's some serious self harm.

 

[Flaming_Barghast]

Kate Farms Shill, it takes a lot to gross out a medfag. I mean, I recognize that gross things are gross, but I'm not viscerally bothered by much. This, though. Holy fuck. While I appreciate the hell out of your text summary, are you okay after seeing. . .that? I feel like I should send someone to check on you.

I have seen some fucking terrible things from my years as a curious edgy teenager with access to moms medical textbooks.
They don't tell you how often the infections or life threatening injuries are self imposed due to a fetish.
It isn't super high, but higher than an average person is.
I read the text first just in case and yeah, no, I'll pass.
Also for those curious what the worst thing I've seen is:

Spoiler

it's a tie between something on the internet and one from a med text book. The first one was a dick flattening fetish. Doesn't sound that bad, all things considered, right?
It was as flat as a fucking credit card. You could see the veins. Somehow it didn't pop, probably because they did it flacid. They then proceeded to peel back the tip to make a bigger hole to insert a large rod.
The other one was a massive infection from a woman who had her fucking massive prolapse pierced. Apparently she liked to try and insert herself with it... it was almost a foot long. No, I don't know how she avoided getting her intestines ripped out in the toilet.

Probably not the worst thing Thomas has seen or read by a mile but I'd bet it even made you squirm friendo, lmao.

 

[everybody in Portugal]

Jesus Christ. those cutting scars

Holy Fuck!
That's some serious self harm.

Note that they are all old and well healed though. That suggests to me that

a)she does not have EDS as I believe she has claimed in the past, since they all look reasonably flat and non-hyperteophic and

b)unless she is actively harming herself on her chest and legs, she is no longer half as ill or continually distressed as she is making herself out to be..

What those arms combined with her SM presence say to me is "I went through some tough times and got attention for it way back when but at some point I got better, only I'm still addicted to the attention being a sick fwagile gorl got me so now I get my jollies in other medically-focused ways and enjoy the shock value of letting me impressionable teenage SM followers see the scars and believe I am still depressed and unstable enough to damage myself like I used to as a young'n".... I know so many women like Allyson who, although less muchie, are exactly this type.

Also, I've gotta say, they're not even close to the worst scars I've ever seen, even discounting ECG and ColdnessInMyEtc.. There are women with arms like hers and far worse damage in every town in every country worldwide, just most of them choose not to flaunt them

I read the text first just in case and yeah, no, I'll pass.

Is it bad that I recognise both of those cases from your description? I suspect it's bad.

Asshole Allyson Conviently had a drop seizure AFTER her psych appointment in the parking garage. Then this morning she woke up feeling like shit because “forgot to take her medicine of really important stuff.” So her solution? Double up on her dose of klonipin. … her and Alex are going to a sensory safe Pride event today. Perfect recipe for a seizure, Skylar frontin’, Alex and an audience.

So, I’ll never be able to understand burger disability law, but it seems D’nD/Jesse’s bid to challenge a decision that she wasn’t disabled prior to 2018 (?) failed. The pronoun havers over at Reddit published the judgement today.

Not a thrilling read but it made me chuckle a couple of times. The gurney is such a great prop tbh.


(Couldn’t find a pic with the gurney but this is quite good too)

 

[Sir Mloobly Bloops]

In regards to Physics girl (and all of them, really) — where are the awareness posts over bedsores? Aren’t people shifted/rolled every 2 hours when they are in the hospital and are bed bound? I’ve read horror stories about how quickly people can develop pressure sores with even fabulous medical care

No wonder these munchies are desperate for their narcotics. Laying in bed all day is painful. I mean, I know they aren’t really doing that, because they lack bed sores and don’t look horrible, yet even doing it for a little bit can make your body ache.

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

People that can't roll themselves, yes. She can roll over in bed just fine.

For Kiwis not keen on reading the whole document, I present the greatest hits:

"Relying on testimony from the VE, the ALJ found that plaintiff could perform the sedentary occupations of addresser, toy stuffer, and type-copy examiner" (page 3).

Let us all take a moment to envision Jessi stuffing teddies like an elf in Santa's workshop.

Previously, plaintiff had testified that she was “completely bedbound” and had to be “transported laying down” on a gurney. AT 63. She testified that she “started being bedbound on and off” while attending college in 2015 and currently used an electric wheelchair. AT 69-70. In an unchallenged finding, the ALJ found plaintiff’s statements only partially credible, noting that medical records in the 2015-2016 timeframe “do not note that the claimant was in a wheelchair or bedridden.” AT 33. Although the two State agency medical consultants who reviewed plaintiff’s records found her capable of light work, the ALJ limited her “to a sedentary exertional capacity due to her reported ambulation issues and pain" (page 5).

Jessi: I'm bedridden! I cannot do anything!
Court: lolno

Despite her testimony, plaintiff was not found to be wheelchair-bound, so the ALJ’s questions to the VE about whether a wheelchair-bound person could perform the identified jobs turned out to be largely irrelevant (page 6-7).

Jessi: But can a wheelchair-bound person do those jobs?
Court: Bitch you aren't even wheelchair-bound.

 

[Trifecta]

Apparently Allyson and Alex are engaged now. She must be elated at the idea of locking in her biggest enabler.

She's been posting a ton lately and introduced me to my new least favorite phrase: "tism rizz"

It amuses me that all of the people in this house seem to look the same.

Oh my god, can you imagine the hell of house full of five self-diagnosed autism fakers with full blown personality disorders competing for peak fake autist?

Who can be the loudest and stimmiest? I bet I'm the most sensitive, I don't even like scrapey forks and big spoons! How dare you suggest I'm not a level 5 super duper extreme nonverbal high supports needs neurodivergent differently abled unicorn??

So, so much safe "unmasking" (being a rude, loud cunt) and oh so many adorwable meltdowns (BPD tantrums).

Who has the biggest, most obvious headphones to wear in public?? Costume contest! Yippie!

I guarantee Allison is due for a big old dose of ER for the 'totally real this time" suicide baiting when she realizes her inpatient pity points are rapidly depleting.

Yeah, she's already started clumsily foreshadowing her return to inpatient.
