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

Also, the text on her GoFundMe was changed at some point; it used to reveal a lot more about what happened in 2020.
There’s an alternative timeline where mom, in July of 2020, accepted the diagnosis of conversion disorder that Charlise was properly given according to the GFM, and put her in treatment and stopped coddling her. Had she done that, she wouldn’t have had to bury one of her daughters at, what, 22? At least not from the iatrogenic shit that probably killed her.

I have zero sympathy for this woman. And honestly, Charlise would probably never have been either interesting or fun even with proper treatment, but she would have been alive.

Man, that was a grim and infuriating read.

I've been watching Charlise for years and happened to scrape her mom's Facebook before she locked it down maybe two years ago. Her mom, Angela Fischetti, definitely got off on having a sick/disabled kid and is a bit of a munchie herself.
Honestly those pre-munching screenshots all but confirm for me that Mom's to blame for this one. She made such a huge deal out of every minor infirmity when Charlise was a kid that it's no wonder she grew up to be, well, that. People don't realise how much jamming ideas into a kids head fucks with their adulthood. There's a reason why they call those the formative years.

Well done, Angela. You killed your daughter. I hope it was worth all the attention. (I'd tophat myself if I could).

Tbh growing up surrounded by that is very common for women. When you are a little girl you are always surrounded by older women who can't stop complaining about their illnesses, real or imaginary, are always filling your head with insane stories about people who "caught some super rare disease or died suddenly from something mundane", talk about nothing but people being sick or dying with sadistic glee, who tell you there are rapists in every corner ready to kidnap you, how you are so little and defenseless and even a gust of wind will break you, that if you shower during your period you will "literally die!", women who cover you in bubble wrap and undermine your mental health and wellbeing every step of the way. Men don't get this as much because they get to be around other boys and men who usually laugh at these things or just assume it's normal for women because "they are sort of disabled or stupid or whatever, it's not us so whatever". Men are really good at beating this stuff out of younger men and boys.
Of course there are always mothers encouraging these girls to be like this. It's always older women isn't it. Their whole social capital relies on being the nurturing motherly one and the more people they can cripple for attention, the better for them.

If you have resilience and exposure to the outside world you ditch them as soon as possible and go out in to the world but most women are more or less tainted by this mental disease to one degree or the other. If it's not diseases it's rapists or whatever.

I think mileage varies on this one. There’s an equal number of families where it’s, ‘well you shouldn’t have climbed that should you? ‘ and zero sympathy, just a splash of iodine on grazes and a telling off for ruining yet another pair of tights. i got really busted up a few times falling out of trees, off bikes and general hijinx, including being concussed and knocking teeth out and never got any attention for it past being yelled at for worrying people and bleeding all over something.
I hope I am a bit nicer to my kids and strike the balance between a hug when needed and telling them off for being dumb, but yeah that is something to think about - too much mithering on about your multiple illnesses probably isn’t a great idea.
 
There's also the moms who do a mix of both. "Oh you climbed a tree and broke your arm? Well my mother broke both my arms every day of my childhood and still made me do all the chores, you should be thankful!"

I think the point is that it's very easy for parents to infect their children with their own issues. Those issues vary per person, and the ways they manifest tend to be gendered. But at the end of the day, they fuck you up, your mom and dad.
 
I’m with @Otterly. There was zero sympathy for any illness, physical or mental in my family. We never went to the hospital and we had to power through all ailments.

I come today with news from the cesspool of woke reportage that is Illness Fakers. The marvel of medical mysteries, Deceitful and Deluded, has been concocting medical drama and curating photos from 200lbs ago to support her make-believe. For those who aren’t familiar with Jessie, search the thread for tales of her escapades involving the makeshift pizza oven gurney and her head that will definitely fall off.

Screenshots in the first spoiler followed by a recap for those who don’t want to have to look at her gormless fat face and soulless eyes….

Today’s drinking game - take a shot whenever Jessie is full of shit! Have an ambulance on standby because you will have alcohol poisoning after reading! Let’s get into it…

Photo number one shows us Jessie, seen here with a face so large NASA had to check to make sure there wasn’t some weird gravitational anomaly. Her “medical team” ordered “an urgent hospitalisation admit”. Word salad for look at me! I’m in hospital! Not pictured was the acrobatics to get Jessie’s fat ass off her piss stained mattress and into her fancy dress whambulance. She has what looks like a port (pretty high placement??) . She tries to look deep and soulful but mostly looks like she needs to fart.

It took 10 TRIES TO GET HER NJ TUBE! Two attendings worked on her and a med student and a nurse and two NJ tubes. Gosh darn it she is just such a medical marvel. Seen on her bedside is a massive fucking big gulp soda, some redacted meds, and a giant purple candle. But sure, MCAS and intestinal failure. She’s got her iPad on an arm because her weak, beefy arms can’t hold it. The hospital looks old and her bed looks more like a mattress. She is, of course, naked, with her “service dog” lying on her meat carcass. This looks like a much older photo set of a much thinner (but still land whale-esque Jessie). No mention of a trial NG tube and no explanation as to why an NJ wasn’t placed by interventional radiology as is the standard of care.

She is so brave, guys. It’s been a “whirlwind” of “terrifying medical scares […] difficult treatments, unexpected outcomes, difficult diagnoses”. Still unclear why she is even in hospital. Looks like she is larping intestinal disease but her commentary is so over the top and vague, who knows. She’s really milking the shit out of it, whatever it is.

Blah blah spinal injury blah blah such a challenging life. More “devastating” side effects. Why devastating? She literally lies down all day and does fuck all. What is she missing out on? She already claims to be in unending daily suffering, so is this like suffering plus infinity? Blathers on about her catheter because of cause she’s too lazy to piss. Endless complications. “Rolling complex medical emergencies”. Yet she is only now in hospital?

Claims her intestinal tract is paralysed and she can’t feel when she is having a bowel movement. So now she shits AND pisses herself. Her team has had to get “creative” to solve this, as opposed to, I’m just spitballing here, wearing a diaper? Actually seeing a real doctor as opposed to whatever Nick Riviera shill is humoring her? Doesn’t mention any manometry testing or pelvic floor testing or therapy. No GES or smart pill. Pictured is a much thinner Jessie’s wrist. I swear she has photoshopped at least 40 kg off her hulking frame.

Another pic of her grotesque meat-skull. She looks like someone who tried to print a photo on a t-shirt but it got weirdly stretched. Bridled tube and blonde hair - how did she bleach it lying down and not being able to move? We will never know!

Claims the port is new but there is no scarring at all - can’t even see the incision. The needle doesn’t look like any port needle I’ve ever seen. Claims she is now on TPN (wouldn’t that go through a PICC?) because she is clearly wasting away.

Claims her doctorbs have been begging her to get a port for 6 years but she has been too immunocompromised (never mentions blood tests so how does she know she is immunocompromised? Just a feeling, I guess). Has an NJ tube as well - why both? Surely it would be an NG and be used for drainage of the stomach?. Gives her doctor 0 STARS, guys. Can you believe?

Claims an emergency colonoscopy is on the cards sometime in the near future, so, not an emergency then. Says permanent tube feeds are on the cards, so why the TPN? Says she isn’t absorbing nutrition (bullshit). She is going to be able to “practice eating” though, so don’t worry! She’ll still be keeping her local takeaway providers in business.

She is so excited! And terrified! She thought she had more time (small violin starts to play the saddest song). Poor, poor Jessie. Not sure what she is going to be missing out on as all she does is marinate in an ooze of her own bodily fluids.

Of course, insurance have delayed everything! No access to care! Terrifying diagnoses! Calm your farm, J-dog, thousands of folks, including cute little kiddiewinks with actual bright futures ahead of them get by fine on tube feeds. If you don’t want another medical device, get off your fat ass and go for a walk. There is nothing wrong with you. The state of Jersey and a court appointed doctor concluded that you are a malingering piece of shit.

You just want to be you? What even is that? You’re getting to death-fat proportions, you claim your husband is your care taker, you live in a fetid dungeon, you add nothing to the world, and you have no interests outside of faking whatever bullshit of the month story your vapid little brain has latched onto. You are an utter failure of a human being and when you are gone, no one will remember you fondly.

Aren’t you on the edge of your seat?! Whatever will happen next? Tune in next week for more failed treatments, exaggerated claims, badly photoshopped pictures, and a never ending tale of woe.

About that. Does anyone have the lowdown on the drama around Kaya on IF? Something something “not safe to post about her”? She threatened to phonebook IF posters, maybe? God, they’re all idiots.

Kaya’s one of my favorites, though. I love me a T&H xannie head.

I concur. There is also very much the experience of being told that "there's nothing wrong with you, you're doing this for attention" to the point that as an adult you can hesitate to consult a doctor when you actually need it. You constantly question if you are imagining a symptom, even when it's pretty distressing. A narcissistic mother can be incredibly damaging because they must always come first, no matter what.

Eh, when they start that I'm not sure fathers are any better, especially when it's, say, menstrual cramps. Easy enough for us adult women to go "you get an opinion when you grow one", but when you're a tween though and expected to "walk it off"? Narcissists have to suffer more than anyone, be in more pain than everyone, even if they've barely stubbed a toe and you've fallen out of a tree.

Think Andie versus like...the actually retarded Dani. Narcissists are a malignant force, and being raised around that shitstorm will fuck up a kid.

Plus, everyone here has landed on a website pretty much no search engines index, and dealt with some pretty fucking obnoxious technical shit to stay -- we're likely smarter than the average cookie. I'm not sure how many of these girls ever realize their normal teenage angst is being clouded by their parents' mental issues, instead just going whole hog "I'll show you!"

Most I got from my mother/aunts/etc was "if you're going to play in mud, wear your bathing suit", and that's just a good idea for you moms/aunts out there sick of washing mud out of things.

From what I could gather, she doxxed a load of Illness Fakers. Anyone who had ever commented on one of the many, many posts documenting her particular brand of obnoxious insanity. She was (allegedly) sending out fake cease and desist letters so the IF mods (ALL HAIL), decided it was too risky to continue to mock her for utterly failing at life, wasting her parent’s money, stealing meds from anyone who looks away for more than two seconds, and pretending to have intestinal failure.
 
I'm not up on the lore: why is she scribbling out her service dog's eyes?

Did the dog pursue legal action against her and now it's in Witness Protection?
If only!
That's a joke on IF - the poster scribbles the eyes out since the poor dog didn't consent to having its picture taken next to a certified retard.

Fucking hilarious that as I was scrolling it didn't even register as odd or out of place to me. It's the munchie thread so if it's not on par with the worst acting or the worst infection I've ever seen, it just doesn't get noticed anymore, I guess. Maybe she is blocking out the dogs eyes to prevent anything incriminating from being noticed in the reflection? Ninja'd!
 
Claims the port is new but there is no scarring at all - can’t even see the incision. The needle doesn’t look like any port needle I’ve ever seen. Claims she is now on TPN (wouldn’t that go through a PICC?) because she is clearly wasting away.
The incision might be just below, where the text is? But I've seen those port needles before, and you can run anything you like through a port including TPN (you just may be limited by the speed you can run it, based on the type of port eg. it might not be suitable for IV contrast that has to be pushed in quickly).

But does she need it? By the looks of things obviously not, but nice to see her head hasn't fallen off yet.

Long time lurker who just created an account so im sorry if my reply is fucked. I have no idea how this shit works.

But it seems like people in her personal life is calling out her bs. Her former friend posted this a few weeks ago on tiktok. She confirmed that shes talking about her in the comments.

yes, they were CHAT GPT CEASE and DESIST EMAILS she sent out to certain members hahahahahaha!

I am always so alarmed and shocked by her behemoth planetary spheroid that sits on her decapitated neck. It appears to be in a constant increasingly expanding state of mass, girth, and density . We should take a shot every time her head grows a hat size.
 
once they’re deep into the munch, they tend to pile on the weight.

That's called opiates and steroids plus obviously "essential " medical weed.

Even bedbound people get their hair and bodies washed.

Yup, they don't like stinky peeps in the sheets in hospital.

There’s an equal number of families where it’s, ‘well you shouldn’t have climbed that should you? ‘ and zero sympathy, just a splash of iodine on grazes and a telling off for ruining yet another pair of tights. i got really busted up a few times falling out of trees, off bikes and general hijinx, including being concussed and knocking teeth out and never got any attention for it past being yelled at for worrying people and bleeding all over something.

Ours is, is it bleeding? Then you'll live. But ill give you a cuddle anyway
