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

You're right. I guess you've spent too much time looking at munchies.

Command voices are extremely unusual along with bizarre visual hallucinations in a patient that doesn't otherwise exhibit disorganized thinking. This is what Hollywood thinks psychosis is so that's what fakers gravitate towards. Remember that munchie talking about seeing elephants? Welp.

Paranoid ideation is much more common. Also the negative symptoms of psychosis (like blunt affect) which are boring. Much more fun to see weird shit and hear voices in your head.

Psychiatrists have a whole toolbox for figuring this shit out since so many people fake mental illnesses. There's a depression inventory with trick questions on it, for example.

Late to this party, but do people really fake depression? That's so boring

I come bearing more puzzling patterns from the life of our CP Cosplay warrior, Bernadette "Bee" Crisp. I'm still not sure what her deal is, but I've run into some creepy codependent borderline-ageplay shit. Her absurdity takes the cake.

It seems that she has several page admins (who interview for the position) on her Facebook page that she has playing into her charade. She does group video chats with them on the regular (possible hours a day or nearly 'round the clock), and they often post on her live feeds and updates under the page name. She has a posse of grown adults convinced that she is in need of these interactions in order to "get her voice back," as a result of seizures. She does "speech therapy" with them on the regular. One of them is "Jay," a person who she only seems to interact with via the internet. There are several posts from "admins," explaining how they attended to her through seizures overnight. Jay is by far the most active. Not going to comment on a grown man fawning over an adult woman who pretends to be a child; I'm assuming everyone here possesses the power to infer.

She seeks their attention when she's allegedly lost her ability to speak. I'm beginning to think that she has some sort of attachment issue that brings boundaries into play. She likes to be in a child role while others are in the caregiving/parent role. It's super creepy. The following are screenshots from a post she made following an episode of being "nonverbal." I didn't screenshot the photos she included of the admins. I thought it might be a grey area, since they're not munching (though they're viewable here). Also, please enjoy her well-documented drool shots, since she's clearly seizing or losing motor function, but she can still take a well-aimed, steady selfie. #logic

Also, when I say she's an adult, I mean it literally. This chick is 20 years old and talks about her adoptive family (which I didn't see coming), so she's either legit adopted or pretends she's a part of another family or something. Signs all point to WTF.

And as a bonus, please enjoy this poetry she wrote while "coming round from a seizure." Because people are known to pick up their phone, take a selfie, and type incomprehensible (though correctly-spelled) garbage to post to the internet while recovering from seizures. Yep. Definitely a thing.

Man I love this one. Big semper fi to whoever introduced her. Gotta love someone who's willing to make herself actually look like a 'tard for attention.

Beats another sleeping beauty with "narcolepsy."

I tried to watch her learning to talk video and her obnoxious SPED giggling, forced speech disorder ("m-m-m-m-moooooooooooooon!"), and bizarre gestures creeped me out. I shut it off when she asked for her makeup by repeatedly pointing to herself and going "makeup meh meh meh meh meh meh makeup!!" at her mom and mom went right along. Such a creepy family dynamic, that is.

Fake seizures are a dime a dozen although I do love when they go the extra mile and piss while they're at it. Faking needing to be in a tard chair with restraints while drooling? Now that is some grade A munching. This is the kind of quality content I like to see.

Hang out in the bIID Facebook and the forever famous fighting it yahoo chat thing there are one or two cp fakers there. I was just complaining about the lack of them in the usual manchie training spots as the modern calf bs is too uniform for my taste

Man, I deleted my facebook too soon. I had no idea there were BIID groups. If you see anything good please share the wealth.

And yeah, they're all clones. I'm waiting for the next wave to change up the scene. It was Epstein-Barr when I was in high school, then fibro/CFS for a while, then chronic lyme, now EDS/GP/MCAS/POTS is king, sometimes caused by Chronic Lyme... and I'm so over it. I can't stare at another port or feeding tube fetish photoshoot.

the next trend is out there, munchies. Get cracking.

Can you imagine?
"Did you know not all people with downs syndrome have the characteristic epicanthal folds and broad nose? It's true! I wasn't diagnosed until I was 22 and now I need a full time carer and can't help it when I hug strangers and stim-dance for hours in wal-mart. I don't want your pity! Just treat me like any other person dancing in Walmart. Anyway here's my GFM. #DownsStrong #downbutnotdefeated #notalltards #adultswithdowns #downie #stim #actuallytarded"

None of what Bee claims makes sense. She claims her condition is degenerative. Yet one moment she can't use her hands because of spasms and acts like she has CP. Then she can do her make up with no signs of CP. She can't talk but then she can. She has seizures but is able to take photos of herself and type. Surely if her condition was truly degenerative she would have lost the abilities she claims to loose and that would be that? She wouldn't them magically get those aabilities back.

Also just seen this post about how she did something wrong in her live. She's deleted it which is a shame as I'd love to know what it was she did or whether this is another grab for attention.

Bee is simply fantastically awful. She does seem to go between imitating CP and nonverbal autistics. SPeech therapy via internet with unqualified adults who have hours of time during the day to video chat is my new fave therapy. I will happily be her speech therapist for 80/hr.

MMPI is pretty awesome. It was actually designed to detect people who minimize psych symptoms along with malingerers.

Did you ever get to administer SIRS?

No, I work in the admin part of healthcare now, I did pain group intakes at the beginning of my career
I'm not even aware of the SIRS I'll have to ask my psych buddies sounds like I'm missing out.

Part of what Bernadette "Bee" claims is Autism. In this podcast (that I didn't listen to in its entirety because my self esteem isn't that low), her mom claims that she was diagnosed at 14. During the session with the doctor, Bernadette screamed uncontrollably the entire time. She's 20 now, and doesn't screech at all as far as I can tell. It seems like they put on a show for the doctor. She may very well have some sort of developmental or intellectual delay (she has referenced attending a special program in school), but they're claiming that she's profoundly autistic....which is just not the truth.

At one point in her Facebook documentation journey, it's claimed that Bernadette's nonverbal status is due to Autism. They're now claiming that she's (temporarily) nonverbal due to her "degenerative" neurological disorder. Which is it? And how does she get magic talking powers back by video chatting with strangers on the internet? It seems like she picks and chooses when she loses her talking powers. In the podcast referenced above, she's typing out responses for her mom to read to the hosts.

In the same podcast (around 14:25), Bernadette claims that she accepts her situation because she's just "doing what [she] was told in a dream." The interviewer is understandably confused and asks for clarification. She claims that on the night before she woke up and was magically disabled, she had a dream that she was in a wheelchair and all sorts of nonsense.

It's all very Gypsy Blanchard. Bernadette might be munching of her own volition, but this is definitely some sort of joined mother/daughter show. I believe the medical issues may have started as (far less serious) legitimate diagnoses, but once they realized how much attention and government assistance they could rake in, everyone went full ham. It's some weird cocktail of MBI, MBP, and straight up malingering.

With that being said, I think I'm done digging through the Beehive because it's the same patterns over and over. If someone wants to do a thorough deep dive in order to formally introduce her, they're welcome to piggyback on what I've presented to the class already. But it sure as hell won't be me.

I can see faking depression more than narcolepsy. Depression comes with all kinds of fun symptoms you can claim to have including a general bodily pain, and people also think it's romantic or something even though it's the "death by boredom" of illnesses. So they say depression and summon up all these tragic images of aching, yearning sadness and also get a great excuse to not do basic adult tasks, claiming they "can't."

Whereas narcolepsy just makes you a sleepy bitch and there's a lot of things that can cause that and it's boring. Maybe it's a play to get adderall? You can get an "excuse to stay in bed/take a nap" card with faking depression or almost anything else so I'm not sure why narcolepsy is so popular when its options are so limited unless it's a play for drugs. I thought narcolepsy was treated with sleeping pills though, but some subjects if this thread have mentioned adderall, and if that's true that's the only reason I can think of to pick narcolepsy instead of something else.

When I mentioned the munchie irl with ankle dislocation yesterday well.... today I have awarded her munchie of the CENTURY. Obviously I can’t say right much without dixxing but this munchie actually CRAWLED everywhere on all fours yep all day crawled wherever they went after a dislocation last night. I’ve known people to break bones and still walk but no this munchie munched all the attention by crawling.

I have to say it is inventive even these online ones haven’t done this yet. I do wish I could post vids
