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

[Spicy Tacos]

No to both questions. They only taped the keynote and plenary, and I neither have a service dog nor participate in their community much. However I have a colleague who uses one for a serious issue (I don’t want to give her life story about) and she goes on fun rants about the owner-trainers lol.

I don’t have a service dog either, or any pets actually. I was still able to get accepted into every group that I’ve tried to get into.

It’s endless entertainment.

Freckles is extremely untrained, extremely anxious, does not take commands, always looks miserable, etc. etc. we are constantly criticizing Sara Jean for making that poor dog go to bars with her. She claims the dog is trained for mobility which means she put weight on it without having trained it for that, having its joints evaluated, or knowing how to do so without hurting it. She’s a piece of shit who is abusing the system in every possible way

In fact she Asked several professionals to help her train the dog to be a service animal and all of them refused because she was already two or three years old when Sarah got her and she was husky. She was explicitly told this dog would never be a service animal so instead she decided to “train” it herself

Yeah I can't stand that shit, I like dogs way more than people, huskies especially... So someone with a ton of health issues (whichever ones are actually real anyway) chooses the single most high maintenance, energetic breed of pooch out there... Does she even get out of the house? Huskies need 2-3 hours of exercise a day! I have to go out for a run with my husky every morning and every night without fail, regardless of what's going on with me.. If they're left alone for long periods or have no way of burning their energy they get seriously legit depressed... They need to be trained by a professional if they are going to be used to carry weight and it needs to be done very gradually over time starting from light weights for the longest period during training...

What a fucking idiot.

To counteract that salt,: Can someone interpret Dani's EKG results for her since she lurks here?

And dani, take your therapists' advice and stop lurking on every "HATER" site waiting for your name to get mentioned, you self-absorbed moron. If you keep eating on TPN you're going to keep gaining weight and quickly leave the weight range you claim your doctors want you in.

I’d interpret them as sinus tach with movement artifact. Normal especially for the shit this chick is on and her anxiety. To be sure I’d need the the actual images but why post that when if you only post the numbers you can pass off movement artifact as a T wave disturbance.

Is that on Facebook? I deleted my Facebook after my Skinwalker hoard as I no longer needed it.

Way late to the party, but I seem to remember a museum in Portsmouth in England exhibiting an iron boot used to prove an 18th century Marine was malingering.

Malingering has been around since Always. There are birds that will fake an injury if you get too close to their babies because all the motion and activity distracts the predator and/or makes it think the mama bird is an easy target. My dog pretends to have a hurt foot when it’s raining and he doesn’t want to walk in it. You can find Ancient Greek medical day texts That say so and so is faking sick because he didn’t want to work off his debt to the king.

This is nothing new.

I did ask on R but I keep getting an error message, is the malingering sub run alongside IF?

Malingering was created to be a cozier hug box than IF. It was made because IF was too racist/transphobic (a mod had a profile pic on discord that people didn’t like and special snowflake pronouns weren’t always mandatory.) now they’re trying to brand it as an alternative that isn’t moderated as hard.

And since we’re talki g about it I really wish they would stop DMing me on reddit to ask if I’ll help in their gay crusade to make r/malingering more active/asking me to make a profile on someone to submit to that site. Nope i wanna post here where I can call someone a retarded troon faggot without pearl clutching.


ETA: subjects still have to be approved over there and everyone who DM‘s me about trying to popularize that sub says “we’re trying to make it better than IF but the mods keep rejecting everyone we bring up.” OK so it’s IF all over again. Cool. I’ll post here where if I want to bring up someone who has four followers and two of them are my sock accounts no one stops me.

I figured as much. I'm surprised more of them don't post on here.

There's a hospital in Dublin that actually offers a free short course to the drs and nurses about what to look for when dealing with a person with munchhausen.

That was after there was like an explosion of munchies in one year... Almost half of them had turned up faking amnesia.

 

[Pimpkin Pumpkin]

I just finished reading through this entire thread. It gave me the kind of aids that can only be cured by being tubefed liquified service ponies.

I recently came across the term “crohnies” and, as is the standard on instagram hashtags, it seems like a bit of a munchie breeding ground.
Probably not the most useful contribution but someone better at herding might be able to find some new cows.

 

[Toohottotrot]

Three liters of puke for multiple days in a row is crazy. She must run so much into her g tube to make that even remotely possible

as if she thinks we are so stupid not to know that

She should look into exorcism for demonic posession. It's as fun as munching and you get to swear at your mom while she cleans up your bodily expulsions.

Saw this on facebook and thought it was so apped for some of our genders that arent reals plus with morgan her mom could definitely m.ilk it

I think there would be a high chance of her mom filming said exorcism failure(because like treatments they don't work for munchies because they aren't gfm enough cool and does one relapse?)

 

[Sperghetti]

Ffs, it's always women. I have my own personal theory that it's usually women who are munchies and health whiners because there seems to be a correlation between munching and Borderline Personality Disorder, and BPD is most commonly seen in women. We might get the occasional male munchie the same way we get the occasional male borderline. If I'm right that there's a munchie/BPD connection, I look forward to seeing a really good male munchie. Although male borderlines are wayyyy more exhausting and annoying than the females (in my experience), they're also wayyyyyy more into self harm and willing to go the extra mile to hurt themselves. We'll see much more bodily mutilation for the cause. Jaquie's death inducing RNY will look like child's play.

There is a definite connection between the two, but IMO, I think there’s also a big societal/cultural component to it. Men just don’t get the same sort of attention, even if they are truly ill. The “being sick makes me a Brave Warrior™” thing only seems to apply to women and children, and most of the social media munchies are all over that like seagulls on a french fry. (Look at how many of them do that bicep-flexing pose when hooked up to an IV.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more men when you started looking at cases of malingering, where the faking is done for some kind of material gain. But when it’s Munchausen’s, where the faking is done primarily for attention, it’s going to be the women who benefit the most.

Yeah, men tend to malinger (especially for drug-seeking purposes), and some older men are victims of MbP but it's actually quite rare to see a male munchie. Everyone ignores them so they don't get the validation they want.

You can even see it in this thread where nobody talks about the Asatru skinhead guy or the furry anymore.

It wouldn't surprise me if male munchies started to become more and more common in the coming years... Simply because of the amount of upcoming effeminate males that only know the politically correct snowflake society.

There was one male-to-stillmalebutinadressnow troon that became a social media munchie in the traditional female pattern: needed forearm crutches and a wheelchair for his "EDS" and "POTS," port for IV fluids, rubbed his face to claim "allergic reactions," even claimed "premature menopause' as one of his many illnesses. Buddy, you have a dick and balls, there was no menses to pause. Between the internet calling him out constantly and his family telling him to quit his bullshit to his face, he couldn't take it and deleted his social media. As far as I know he's yet to resurface so I think he really did stop entirely, and I've wondered if he didn't just act like that because he thought it would make him seem more womanly or something insane like that.

I read a shit ton of journal articles/case studies about factitious disorder. The ones that feature males always point out how rare it is for a man to do this to himself solely for attention and how this complicates the real diagnosis. One I read recently was a guy taking huge doses of NSAIDs and codeine to induce GI bleeds, fecal impactions, and organ damage. Since he never asked for pain meds or a note to get out of work or any other thing that would benefit him, they took him at face value that he wasn't doing anything to hurt himself and only took the recommended doses of whatever NSAID (I think it was ibuprofen) to control his pain from the symptoms he was experiencing. This went on with repeated hospitalizations for like, weeks. Eventually a bunch of empty blister packs were found but in the mean time they tested him for everything from Crohn's to HIV to lupus trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

To be honsent I think 3/4 the male psych popularition is either faking for a higher govt benefit or trying to avoid jail (often going back) free food but alus they aren't social media attention seekers. I'm waiting for cory canbaba(the new husband of susan whos daugther Jani doesnt have cos)

Not sure if this would be classed as munchhausens but long before reddit or most social media platforms, over a 3 year span I knew of three different males... All three were lying about having some form of cancer, all 3 were between the age of 20-25 and all three were gay.

One of them even claimed that his brain cancer was giving him new skills and that he'd written a book in one night with his left hand when he's right handed... The douchenozzle even put a chapter of it under his profile... So of course I only had to copy and paste one line into Google to find the place he'd thieved it from. Funnily enough, never saw him again.

Those days were fun.. They were like how society must have been before DNA and fingerprinting were discovered.

It is Facebook; I find the best on Facebook.

I do find the owner training ridiculous. Unfortunately, the groups don’t allow it to be discussed negatively.

BUT people are allowed to inform others that owner trained dogs are seized when you travel to the UK, for example. The dog has to stay in quarantine.

It’s fun when they are certain they are correct, and then they learn a life lesson. Unfortunately, many then play victim.

Look no further than male prisons, where malingering is the most common diagnosis coming out of psych. They stick to faking and/or exaggerating mental health issues more than medical issues because they get more from a psych diagnosis than they do from a medical one. With medical, the most they're gonna get is a coveted bottom bunk pass. But even that takes forever and they're lucky if they can get one. No no no, psych is where the money is. With psych, they get seen RIGHT AWAY. They don't have to wait like they do with medical. Psych not seeing you fast enough? Just pitch a fit and claim you're suicidal, and you're required to be seen within minutes. Want a single cell? "Attempt" suicide a few times (and when I say attempt suicide, I mean a loosely tied ligature around your neck while simultaneously yelling at staff that you're killing yourself) or just repeatedly "cut". Doesn't need to spurt blood...a few superficial scratches will do. Want extra time out of your cell? Fake depression so you can go to groups and get extra rec time. Want to get high? Fake a panic attack and get some Klonopin, or even better, fake a rage outburst and you'll get a nice Haldol/Ativan cocktail sure to lull you right into la la Land. I talked a few pages back about inmates faking full blown psychosis to get what they want. Prison is where being mentally ill gets you all the privileges. Administration would rather coddle and kow tow than be sued for ignoring your non existent psych disorder, or have the ACLU breathing down their neck because they were being big meanies to the baby raper who doesn't like his cell assignment.

Edit: Just realized how long this ended up being. Sorry y'all. If someone tells me how, I'll put my prison sperging behind a spoiler.

 

[Toohottotrot]

In nz baby raping is treated as a mental disorder which is annoying as fruit juice because they get all kinds of special treatment in jail and then most of them want even more special treatment based on the fact they are mentally ill as in why cant I go to the forenstic unit the devil made me trash my cell. Your not in a acute psychosis fuck off is the basic response they get and half the time if they are able to get in once they are sane enough to go back to jail they do.

 

[Cheeseman]

prison munchies

i do love observing these lady munchies getting their panties in a bunch over a moderately high heart rate and their attention whoring pets but prison shenanigans are where i began to really look into faking illnesses for gain. they have less resources but you have the inmates who will save up apple seeds if all else fails. same goal, different sides of the coin

In the U.S. pedophilia isn't treated as a mental disorder (or any other sex offense). Yes, it's in the DSM, but it has no bearing as a mental illness in things like sentencing, mitigation, and within corrections. It's just the crime that it is. I will say that sex offenders are the whiniest, neediest, most annoying inmates, and the child molesters are the worst. It drives me nuts they're as protected as they are by the higher ups. Prison justice just isn't a thing like it used to be, and we can thank modern political correctness and the ACLU for that.

Edit because spelling is hard.
