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

Looks like salmon. Alright just fucking paint it then? You know they make the shaky shaky cans and bubblegum pink paint comes out of them right. Why is the world so hard for munchies.

Looks like they aimed for that silvery millennial pink, which is trendy as hell. But munchies don’t want to follow current trends, they want the Barbie or babydoll pink from the age they’re trying to regress to.

They always say people go into counseling because they’re messed in the head. The biggest thing she had going for her is that her name hadn’t been said too many times on IF or here. But her name is also so unique that she will be effed by this.
Good job, Mairead.

My favorite thing about her is that she’s been called out for being only 28 years old and having the forehead wrinkles of a 40-45 year old. This is utterly not common in HEDS, where even fair-skinned HEDS patients frequently have zero forehead wrinkles even into their 40’s or 50’s. So, she has started photoshopping and cropping her photos to hide the evidence. But, you can’t erase internet history.

So sorry to resurrect this, I must have missed this post and just noticed after someone else replied to it.

Giving Mairead the minimal benefit of the doubt, could her wrinkles be down to sun exposure? She's often pictured outside in the sun, and has posted pics of "flushing" that looked awfully like sunburn before.

I wonder if Ophelia is on too high doses of psych meds.

*Per usual, isn’t feeling well. She is weak, tired and lethargic (Sarah, tired is the same thing as lethargic for the most part, stop trying to use big words—we know you’re an idiot). She’s also hot yet frozen at same time.
*Received a donation for care packages in the mail, painfully videos herself carrying every box in. They are plantain chips. With her eating lately, I wonder how many of these will actually make it into said care packages? Food has become her best friend lately.
*Goes through every chip flavor and counts them all.
*Starts bitching about her line and is speaking so incredibly fast that she sounds manic, which doesn’t surprise me. *Removes line.
*Goes outside to pick more weeds for her windowsill vases, ignoring fact that these will likely exacerbate her seasonal allergies. I don’t know if she thinks these things will survive forever in these vessels, but she sure does act like they will be a permanent addition to her room.
*Looks for more “flowers”
*Yoda was temporarily missing and she claims she was going to look for him but never addresses it again—I’m assuming he didn’t get another chance of freedom.
*Shows off more ice pops she bought at Walmart, very dramatically.
*Plans movie night for her and evil dad.
*They make food and watch a movie. S-J inhales an entire pizza on her own. At this rate she will be 50 lbs heavier by next summer
*Rattles on about nurses and infusion.
*Uses “word” supposebly.
*ends vlog.

Y'know this has nothing to do with munching but this is the stupidest fucking shit I've seen.



where are the people of color in the Bible??

well fuck someone give me an example of a white person in the Bible. Jesus was from the Syriac portion that was conquered by the hasmoneans. that would make Him fairly brown

and renaissance art? yeah caravaggio never painted moors or anything

and I'm not even a historian

Today on "The Non-Adventures of a Totally Healthy Individual," Sarah Jean is feeling emotional over her decision to throw her life away to play sick kid in her daddy's house.

Spoiler: summary

-Her pre-theme music teaser is a lovely clip of her doing cromolyn nasal spray and sniffling boogies, because thats what I wanted to see on my lunch break.
-Slept in today because her new room is very dark. Not sure what if anything she's going to do today
-Dad is going to the casino to see "the real Natives, err, Indians, ...Natives" at a Pow-wow
-Really bad allergies says the woman who brought in a fucking goldenrod and put it on a windowsill next to her bed.
-There's goo coming out of her eyes when she blows her nose. She doesn't normally have seasonal allergies, just her fake "mast cell"
-She changed her mind about the pow-wow because it's icky out after the rain.
-More froggos in her window.
-SHE NEVER FINISHED CLEANING UP HER ROOM AFTER VOMITING ALL OVER IT THE OTHER DAY. Why are all these girl so grimy‽
-Emotional. Made her bed look pretty and it made her think of how she had so much when she lived in Florida and she threw it all away to play sick girl. In Florida she had friends, a good job, living her best life, was happy and satisfied, and the longer she lived there the better her life got. She got a loft with vaulted ceilings and a spiral staircase which is exactly what she wanted from childhood, could grow her own food, had a nice car, could spend money freely without checking her account. But it was a short time and it was "taken" from her when she decided she'd rather play sick on the internet and not have to work or be a grown up.
-Eating vegan bacon mac and cheese. Does she ever eat real food? Belches loudly. Hasn't eetuhn before now, maybe.
-Made 15 care packages for Ronald McDonald House, also a huge mess. Messes mean you got some stuff done.
-Has to change frequently in a day because she's sweaty.
-Wants to do something because the weather is nice, wants to go to the dog park but she can't because Gizmo is still sick and she could only bring Freckles... who could very well be shedding the same nasty respiratory infection that Gizmo has. Thankfully she doesn't go
-Went to a bar for some live music on EvilDad's insistence and she knows he's going to use it against her when she continues to not work despite being perfectly capable. Tried to force EvilDad to go to the bar by going home and dragging him out, he made her feel awkward because he begs her to invite him places and how mean of him. She's such a good samaritan because people at the bar were nice to him when he did go.
-Not hungry but making stuffed shells
-Breathing problems, didn't think it was a problem until a recent doctor appointment told her that her O2 sats were low and her breathing was shallow. She has O2 machines (canisters) for trigeminal neuralgia, something she's never claimed to have to my knowledge and which is so painful it makes people kill themselves, but sure.
-pasta montage. She didn't cook them long enough but now she's hungry so she's going to eat them anyway. Chantal-tier gross eating noises.

I really don't understand why these girls would just throw their lives away like this. Like Skinwalker had her dream come true, she was working for Disney and living in Celebration (a Disney-designed planned community akin to living in Main Street, USA) and had friends and her family that she was obviously very close to moved there then something triggered her to start starving herself and playing Jesus's Favorite Invalid. Sarah-Jean was making money, lived in a nice place, had friends and... the only specific trigger i've found for her is that her mother was very ill and needed a transplant (I think, she might have said that she would need a transplant in the future but i can't find the post in my comment history). And she just, noped the fuck out of her "best life" to go live with her dad in the middle of nowhere, Minnesota. So either she's lying about how great her life in Florida is or something in her little pea brain flipped and made her think she could become a social media celebrity if she faked sick, and now she's in too deep. Or both. Florida sucks.

Forgot to respond to this, I’ve had a crazy work week again. Per S-J’s brother’s insta, their mom did receive a transplant. But the mystery does remain as to why she is choosing to throw her life away and create her identity surrounding being “sick.” I’m inclined to think that it was her mother’s situation, combined with what sounds like an incredibly unstable childhood (also per her brother’s Insta) plus her mental health issues which may have kicked into high gear in her late 20s, early 30s that all contributed to where she is now. It really is a tough thing to wrap one’s head around. She is the baby of the family also, so I think everything created a perfect storm for Munching

I think I got a new munchie from Ophelia's comments

“Neutrois, Bard OBOD, ailurophile, & polyam...” at least this one claims truly rare diseases.

I wonder if Ophelia is on too high doses of psych meds.

Judging by the sperging, probably not high enough doses.

————
Oh look, Caity’s dropped another avant-garde masterpiece. A scant 5 months behind the breaking news but this time, it’s persona—er, political. You better look out, Mr. Trumpy-Wumpy, ImaginationByCat is Coming to Take. You. DOWN.

Spoiler: booyah

Yes. Yes! Our savvy disability advocate is going to make some real change in the world when her followers take her advice & TAG THE PRESIDENT ON INSTAGRAM about how angry they are at... oopsy. What exactly are they supposed to be angry about?

A... law? Or something? About like, taking your medicine away? Definitely not a set of reforms to HALLAX &/or POMS being worked up by the adjudication council of the SSA itself under strict guidance from the executive economic policy office in order to bypass all congressional influence. Oh. Shit. Caity, you forgot to share exactly what law (spoiler: not a fucking law) we should be concerned with!

Don’t fret. The vague ire of a thousand munchies tagging #stopcensorship & tweeting about how their ‘tism makes them nonverbal so they can’t call their representatives will absolutely influence the internal functioning of the high court system of an independent agency within the federal government whose leadership, both administrative & judiciary, are selected by appointment rather than popular election.

All that aside, one of Caity’s favorite hobbies is hiking. She runs marathons. She does her own elaborate, if awful, makeup that probably takes hours to apply & remove. She participates in extended photoshoots & cosplay activities. But... here she says she can’t take a photo without assistance? What a complex, delicate flower.

Here is a pic she posted on Facebook today. I can update more if anyone is interested as she continues her brave fight.

The cringe is so real my toes are cramped. Yes please I want this. If that photo is any indication, her mystery production has enormous promise.

EDIT(s): photo formatting hates mobile

Hahaha! That's really great. "Just wait, wait - maybe you'll get a deadly disease yourself, so you'll have a purpose in life, too!" I just can't....!

We will excuse your lateness. I addressed the sun exposure deal later in a powerleveling post. Hopefully, it answers your question.

What does everyone think of this https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC1rn_Ji-9X8oPRA828apPFA/videos I have to admit the vlogs look boring so I haven’t watched them. It’s just the usual “Eds, pots dystoautomia” I came across her as she has been shortlisted for a national diversity award in the uk along with genuine blind people who have totally lost their sight. Just seems to me like the usual crap.

From the national diversity site :
Jenni Pettican, aka “Chronically Jenni”, is a 23-year-old drama graduate, vlogger and aspiring radio presenter and voiceover. In 2016 Jenni was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder; Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a form of Dysautonomia and; a cerebrospinal fluid leak. Facing multiple surgeries and a set of unique challenges, Jenni began to document her journey, sharing weekly videos of daily life with her conditions in the hope of assisting others and making them feel less alone. Jenni strives to raise awareness for this little-known condition and invisible disabilities, helping so many come to terms of battling chronic illness. Every year since her diagnosis, this amazing individual has made videos for EDS and HSD Awareness month including fellow sufferers from across the world and has raised money for EDS charities across her university campus.

Instagram is chronically jenni and while we are at it why are they all chronically. If I wanted to make an illness Instagram I’d make sure there was no chronically about it so it’s not related to all of the other chronically not ills

Edit: the start of her boring vlogs are just like jacquis

 

[Ellesse_warrior]

Jonzie just passed Kelly on my next-to-die list. Anna the jesusfreak is still at the top tho, she's gonna Jacquie herself.

Kelly will outlive them all. Shell be a cackling stump with a head in a wheelchair laughing at all these sick princesses when they inevitably munch themselves to death.

“Mental Health Counseling Student”
I miss the days when counselors pretended to have their shit together. This whole profile is just TMI.

Edited to add: I think we should call this shit “The Woke Olympics”. Instead of trying to outdo each other in how sick they are, it’s a competition to see who can be the most “woke”.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

Jesus, FB is a societal plaque. The only interaction I have with munchies is this thread. I have never googled EDS, but I have clicked on various links in this thread to munchies’ IG accounts that claim to have EDS.

Today I get on FB for the first time in awhile and I get sponsored posts for some EDS conference in Tokyo ffs.

Social media is like rocket fuel for munchies. There have always been munchies but the advent of SM has probably increased their numbers x10. Merely googling an illness or interacting with some munchies on FB or IG starts them down a path to to total online immersion as illness as identity and lifestyle.
