I think Strawberry Hill handled Amber's questions really well. To me, it seems like they have turned it around and used it against her in such a professional manner. "Well, YOU should have the slip that contains the information of WHO sent you the cake and bread, so how about YOU tell your audience what happened to that slip, hmm?"
Amber wants to give baked goods to a homeless shelter?!?
Doesn't she even think about how some of the people there might have eating disorders and be triggered by her gift?!?
Gawd Amber, how evil!
Go directly to Hell, next to Trump. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
Always remember, Amber has never EVER spoke of her "foster care experience" for a reason.
she has been blue balling that shit since 2014 because I believe most of her trauma was grossly over-exaggerated if anything she seemed to have been treated very well by the system, some kids arent so lucky.
And if muh trauma was from her parents y'know the ones she says shes in love with and her meth whore mommy and her are besties frandz! Ambers own Mom who went to jail and was homeless could not stand Amber and had to leave early when she visited during ambers crotch rot era.
Fuck her for throwing around PTSD like it's fun to have. I got the shit after almost getting my brains blown out by a violent rape at gunpoint, shit is not cute nor is it something you just mention casually. It can be hell on earth everyday if you arent getting proper help and holding yourself accountable when you might go off the rails if you let it take hold of your mind.
Amber doesn't have the mental capacity for self reflection of any kind, and that's why her "mentulz" will never improve.
She has gone through stuff that is difficult to deal with- an unstable home situation and foster care. However, people usually either
get over that by their late twenties and become functional human beings or do what Amber is doing and just flounder forever.
The difference between these two groups is intelligence. You don't need to be smart, but you do have to have basic fucking
pattern recognition and a tiny amount of effort. Effort compounds- you can't be a better person or heal fully in a day, but you can
put in a little effort in every day and it'll pay dividends. Amber might have PTSD, or any other number of things, but she will never improve herself. To her, the label is enough because it excuses any amount of drama she might encounter from her haydurz.
PTSD is debilitating. Hamber might have it, she might not. However, its not something you would ever want to parade around willingly. I don't want my loved ones seeing me having flashbacks, not being able to stop being hypervigilant, or being paranoid about things that might seem innocuous. Amber wants to be special. People with actual mental disorders just want their normal lives back.
Once upon a time, this Diet Coke swiller was fully intending on going into volunteer fire fighting after military service. On first ship, we had quite a few fires that I was involved in fighting - a pretty decent fire in a rather large electrical cabinet (big blowers that smoked out), a couple of fires in pumps (one electrical, one actually started by oil that spread into lagging), a grease fire, a couple of trash fires. Also fought some flooding, which was soggy and not fun.
Then on second ship, we had a turbine generator quite literally explode. I was in the space next door shooting the shit with my guys (might have been the on watch supervisor at the time). The entire damned ship shook, the explosion was audible through the damned walls and over the noise of the space, every electrical breaker started tripping and bus transfers started shifting, lights flickered, fans failed. I bolted to the other box because it sounded like it came from there. In the forty seconds it took me to get there, the space was already filled with smoke. I legitimately panicked thinking my guys in that box were dead. Got into the space less than 2 minutes later once I got firefighting gear on. Found everyone alive but actively fighting the largest fire I'd ever seen (and this includes the deliberately set ones they pit you against at firefighting school). We had it out in less than 5 minutes, but the damage was extensive.
For 2 weeks after that, thanks to the damage caused by that fire, fan motor controllers kept bursting into flames. We had a fire in our fucking ventilation system. I 'lost' two Sailors to PTSD (as in they freaked out so fucking badly they couldn't go into the plant anymore without sobbing, pissing themselves and/or mentally shutting down to the point that they became utterly useless - since they couldn't do their jobs anymore, they were processed out).
Sure, thanks to those experiences, I break out into cold fucking sweats around fires that aren't nicely contained. I feel sick whenever I see news footage of ship-board fires. I gave up on any thought of volunteer fire-fighting despite all my training because I can still see those flames in my nightmares and feel the heat burning my face around my mask, feel the burning through my coveralls and my boots sticking to the deck as they started to melt; I can't imagine voluntarily running to flames again unless it's in my vicinity and I have to immediately respond, because I start to choke up and hyperventilate even when taking action. We had firework mortars fall over and fire into a buddy's garage a year after the generator explosion - me and one of my guys that'd been involved in fighting that fire sprang into action without thinking and had extinguishers on it before it blew, despite the fact that the garage was starting to go up (it went sputtering up against a wall with paper shit everywhere around it - took a bit to put all that out). Damned near passed out after, having to crouch down and get my breath back. My buddy that fought it with me just flopped into the grass. It took us a while, but we were grinning and joking about it within an hour. So PTSD? Nope.
Maybe fire isn't equivalent to having to drink skim milk and watching meth mom and meth dad smoke their lives away, but holy fuck, how mentally weak do you have to be to not be capable of moving forward with life and taking the opportunities granted by continued livelihood one step at a time?
Oh, wait. That doesn't win you victim points. Never mind, I r dum.
Thread tax: AL is fat and stinky and stupid. I would not risk being in close enough proximity to hear her vapid bullshit nor smell her foul stench, much less get close enough to have sex with her.
Edited to remove electrical ratings because reasons
the "test" amber is saying she passed with flying colors is the pcl-5 and it's self reporting and prone to malingers often over reporting, as you've all correctly deduced of miss MUH TRAUMA!! it's virtually useless by itself. the next step should be a CAPS-5 which is a clinician given screening and much more in-depth. it'll ask about symptoms, what triggers them, dissociating, etc. that's where any clinician worth their salt will be able to smell her bullshit from a mile away.
I think Strawberry Hill handled Amber's questions really well. To me, it seems like they have turned it around and used it against her in such a professional manner. "Well, YOU should have the slip that contains the information of WHO sent you the cake and bread, so how about YOU tell your audience what happened to that slip, hmm?"
I think Strawberry Hill has their own record copies, looked, vulpine grin spreading across their collective mouths, and RUHLIZZED that Fat Albert was the one who sent it to Fat Albert.
Most children aren't lucky. If the fosters ain't beating them or fucking them, they're going completely without anything while the fosters rake in them griftbux. Tale as old as time.

Really? That’s one of the dumbest theories I’ve read here. Here’s a couple of reasons for you and I’m sure others will have more. First, she is behind the car and the camera is lower and pointing upward. Simple perspective will make Amber appear taller than the car roof. Even though she’s shorter than the object further from the camera. There is also a chance that at least her front foot is on the kerb whereas the car isn’t. It’s hard to tell. Amber is NOT 5’6”, and the size she buys her shoes is irrelevant. Maybe you know, maybe you don’t, but when a person loses significant weight their shoe size drops. It is logical therefore that when someone is 350lb plus overweight, that their shoe size will be significantly larger than is usual for their height. Plus some folk just have big feet.
Let's be real, she's eating the stickers mailed to her as well. This will get her plenty of more pie and cake mailed to her dumb ass. Toward the end we get the details on why she uses waterproof mascara, because she cries so much (boo hoo). If she's crying so much wouldn't that fix her water weight issue?
How many times is she going to be diagnosed with the same things? I firmly believe she gets giddy when she legitimately has a real health problem. You can see the joy in her face when she talks about the cancer saga, the bloody underwear pictures etc. She gets off on this shit.
Because I'm an ass, I went back and looked at some of her illness/ER visits/muh mentalz/muh "womb cancer" and she's pleased as hell with each one. Based on just a random, cursory review, she's even happier when she's weaponizing whatever it is. Some of them are obvious attention-whoring, particularly those where the attention is not fully on her. The big one out of the group is of course her decision to really pay attention to her dainty period hole finally, after two years, and the geysers of blood spewing from it, which she decided was cancer and required an ER visit, with Becky as chauffeur. Then the entire "cancer" saga. She's happiest when the people around here are required to pay direct attention to her, whether it's medical or other (like dragging a mattress to the living room floor). She's a munchie for the internet age.
Zoloft is another SSRI just like the Lexapro she was prescribed and never bothered to take consistently. It won’t do jack shit. She’s depressed because she’s trapped in a 500 pound shell of lard and is unable to do basic things that humans do on a daily basis. Not to mention her future is grim and she’s barely into her 30’s.
And BTW none of this performative art of her walking outside is going to convince anyone of anything. It’s quite frankly impossible for her to do the things that a smaller person would. Quit living in fantasy land.
And she said back in October that the zoloft she was taking "wasn't working" when in reality she's taking some of these meds for no reason and there's no sense of urgency in her to take them as prescribed anyway.
I'm at the point with Amberlynn that I was with Life By Jen, just waiting for the inevitable death announcement because this shit has been on repeat for years. The only thing on Hamber's side is her age and having a slightly better caretaker. Nothing is ever changing here until the Reaper swoops in.
Agreed, it's a fucking travesty is what it is, way beyond shameful. Her claiming PTSD over a rotten childhood is absolutely ludicrous. It's called GROW THE FUCK UP AND GET OVER YOURSELF, not PTSD. Has she ever seen someone close to her get their fucking brains blown out? Has she ever seen anyone bleed out or die? Uhhhh, no. She had to drink skim milk? SO TRAUMATIC!!
Excuse you, shitlord, she scored a 47(!) on the PTSD self-quiz, which is almost perfect and HER PTSD is corky and unique, and worstest PTSD the world has ever seen.
Always remember, Amber has never EVER spoke of her "foster care experience" for a reason.

What, they're not all playing softball and not all playing soccer and not dancing in multiple groups and not choreographing award-winning dances for them and not getting a 3.9 GPA despite constantly moving around and ditching classes and not going to Disney and not hoovering mass quantities of food and not writing for the school paper handing out advice?
And if muh trauma was from her parents y'know the ones she says shes in love with and her meth whore mommy and her are besties frandz! Ambers own Mom who went to jail and was homeless could not stand Amber and had to leave early when she visited during ambers crotch rot era.

I think the funniest part of her muh trauma is her claims that there are holes in her memory, yet she can remember the tiniest of details about tings like her hoovering of girl scout cookies.
I was thinking a bit about Jade Francis.
We know that Amber can't wash herself.
Jade either doesn't mind the sweat, urine and feces residue OR she's having to scrub Mount Amber down before getting busy.
Stop and imagine washing someone's genitals after they've used the toilet and getting excited for some of that.

While I generally share the view that Amber likely tells her psychologist what she thinks he wants to hear, one shouldn't assume that because someone collects a ton of diagnoses that it's statistically improbable and evidence for them lying to collect more.
In psychological research there's a theory called the "p-factor" or in other words the "general factor of psychopathology". In short the idea is that people's mental disorders share a single dimension where if you have one mental disorder, you're likely to have another seemingly unrelated mental disorder. If you're BPD then you're also more likely to have a specific phobia, eating disorder, bipolar, etc. Think of it as a person having a generally disordered brain and these different specific diagnoses are just expressions of an underlying disordered brain. The more generally disordered, the more you get these collections of disorders.
So it's conceivable in this framework that Amber just has a generally disordered brain and it expresses itself through this massive collection of disorders including NPD, Bipolar, BED, OCD, OCPD, PTSD, etc. It's not that people have disorders randomly but rather that they're comorbid and sometimes stick together because they share some underlying dimension (the p-factor).
That being said I'm not necessarily convinced that this is the case with her, but it is one way to interpret why she constantly has a new diagnosis to talk about. The p-factor is a little controversial since it's such a new theory but it's an interesting way of looking at things.
Also, just because someone has PTSD doesn't mean they've experienced something traumatic to an equal degree as another person with the same condition. People's brains are different and it's in large part due to their genes. Some people have a higher risk of developing these issues than others. To some people being bullied at school can fuck them up while some can go through hellish war without significant psychological issues. It may be surprising to people but PTSD is actually heritable. PTSD is something you get from an environmental experience but your susceptibility to it is influenced by your genes. The heritability of it is like 29% for white females which is about as high as the heritability of Schizophrenia. There's a ton of new research on this and all you have to do is search "PTSD Heritability" and you'll find a bunch of cool papers finding a bunch of cool stuff,
Also lastly, another thing to consider for those who know people with PTSD from their military experience, most militaries disqualify you for having a bunch of different disorders meaning that the people who actually see combat are likely much more psychologically resilient than the general population (let alone a basket case like Amber).
Amber bought $75 worth of knock-off LEGOs at Target shortly after casually admitting she's getting rid of the $700 Titanic set Jade got her as a gift (most likely because it's way too big and impractical to have on display).
She's obsessed with buying toys and pointless junk, but once she actually has the toy and opens it, she completely loses interest. Literal toddler behavior.
TMI - And Charlie, don't you fucking DARE post our stories on your channel for clicks. Tell your own service stories. My stories aren't as bad as Coke's and Xeno's, but...
... [Edit]
On second thought, I'm gonna cut out details because long and boring. Long story short, long ago (I'm old), I fell through scaffolding about 2 storeys off the ground and almost got impaled by upcapped rebar below - yet somehow caught part of the scaffolding in a blind grab and swung myself clear of the spikes. Many alternate universes exist without the Boolean Bitch.
Then later at the same place, I was involved in a trench cave in caused by stupidity from the subs who pumped out a massive tank, and drained the water right in front of the trench (out of anywhere else they could have drained it on the massive property). I caught the edge of the cave in and only got buried from my thighs down, instead of my entire body. And I guess I didn't actually make a sound, because I yelled and no one was there to hear it (I joke about it now, but I wasn't quite as brave in the moment when I was frantically trying to dig myself out).
I wouldn't say that it 'traumatized me'/caused ptsd or whatever (definitely think Xeno and Coke's events would have been FAR scarier), but I definitely interpretted these incidents as messages from the universe/the force/God/the Intergalactic Spaghetti Monster to get the FUCK out of there.
I mention them because the world can be a brutal and dangerous place, and I'm sure many, MANY people have encountered near-misses like mine. Still, that being said, I can still believe that Amber could possibly have - well, not PTSD, but somewhat debilitating anxiety and obtrusive thoughts, despite seeming to not have experienced any of these incidents. And I think it's for two reasons (and both of them make her look bad):
1) Not everyone has the same level of resiliance to truamatic events.
Events which don't phase some individuals can permanently scar othres. I can't see how Amber thinks this is some sort of flex, as she would have to be INCREDIBLY WEAK MINDED and pathetic to still be so upset that she talks about the TRAUMA of not being actually 300 lbs, but of having to drink skim milk because she's 300lbs when her 80lb peers were drinking 2%-3% milk. Or not liking yogurt but being told to just finish the portion anyway (especially considering she's shown herself eating yogurt on camera as an adult without having a meltdown). Or twisting her ankle and having to hobble up the sidewalk back to her apartment by herself.
2) She's TRAINED HERSELF TO HAVE THESE ISSUES.
She seems to spend all of her time just ruminating in her misery. I believe that she was actually journaling daily for those 700 days or whatever she said, because of just how much more her 'mentulz' have been bothering her recently, versus 4-5 years ago on her channel. Those 2 years of journal entries was probably her going over every perceived slight from everyone, and how bad it made her feel, and how victimized she was. Over and over again, possibly even adding new details that she 'remembered' with every iteration of the story. She spends all of her time going over it again and again and again. Not to deal with it, but to RELIVE it. It's all she talks about. It's probably what she often thinks about - when not distracted with LEGO and scratch art. She reads stories about other people's trauma to live their stories and compare it to hers. She uses this shit to PRIME her emotions for either creating weepy videos, to avoid backlash, or to manipulate her gorlfriends.
Your subconscious CANNOT determine the difference between fact and fiction. It's why negative self-talk can be so damaging. That portion of the brain takes whatever input it gets, and processes it as real. She spends all of her time doing the absolute worst possible things she can for her 'mentulz' and actually PROGRAMMING herself to be more and more mentally ill.
Therapy is essentially being giving new lines of code to try and reprogram your responses. I have no idea what Amber seems to think it is, as she constantly goes back to her old patterns, rather than seeming to do anything new that would have been recommended by her many phychologists/psychiatrists/counselors/therapists/'the girl'.
And I don't know about the people who watch her on YouTube, but I certainly don't give a pass to people with shitty behaviour just because they self-injure - which is exactly what she's doing.
I don't exactly have ptsd, but I do actually have a lot of memory gaps in my childhood. She throws that around with no regard for the distress it can cause. Knowing something had to have happened that your brain couldn't take but not knowing what, or if it's for the best you don't remember, and wanting to return to being a child at the same time so you can have some semblance of what you're missing. Ffs.
If this rank cunt decides to only now start spinning dramatic and detailed depictions of her fantasy foster care hell, I'm blaming you.
The way she talks, lives, acts and treats everyone is the most obvious indicator that she's been a spoilt little fucker since the moment she was taken from her parents. You don't comfortably mooch off others (or DEMAND things of them, which we've seen her do) if you've lived a life anything close to what she claims.
Being neglected by her addict Mom and Dad (which I still don't understand the Dad thing, she bragged about him owning a store didn't she? How so Fatty if he was just as drugged up as Mommy?) isn't enough of a ''poor me, please do what I say and give me what I want'' card so she learnt to embellish the story greatly.
I also wouldn't be shocked if she took snippets of the lives of the other foster kids she knew and claimed them as hers.
The fact she even lies about her parents not feeding her is a massive red flag. Why add a lie onto an already messed up situation? Simple, only the tragic fantasy matters, not the boring reality of her being one of the thousands of kids neglected and removed from their families. That's not good enough for AmberLynn.
Reasons 1-10 for me why I believe she never had cancer to begin with. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe pre cancer cells, but cancer? Nah.
Also reasons 10-20 because many doctors will opt for a hysterectomy on deathfats knowing they'll always be 1,000% non compliant, so it's easier and can lead to less whining and bullshit.
I don't believe she has PTSD just because I don't believe her about most things regarding her health, mental or otherwise.
But it has nothing to do with her real or alleged experiences in foster care. Even if her foster care experience was the best possible version it can be, with softball and dancing and whatever, being separated from your parents and siblings is disruptive and traumatizing. I'm not saying this from an anti-adoption POV. Sometimes removal is in the child's best interest, but it's still inherently traumatizing.
Knowing what I've come to know at this point in my life, I'd believe anyone who grew up in foster care who said they had PTSD, just like I'd be inclined to believe any war vet or first responder who said the same. I'd expect a foster kid's PTSD to look different from the vet/responders PTSD, but those are all things that get blanket passes from me. That and growing up in a cult.
Amber COULD have it. I 100% believe someone cannot get to her size and live her lifestyle without some kind of horrible trauma in her past... unless they have some kind of cluster B disorder? Idk, I'm not a psychiatrist. It just wouldn't surprise me if her childhood actually was batshit terrible and she only lied or exaggerated the good parts because she liked the particular attention those lies got her at the time.
Also, a hypothetical child could have an abusive home life but also take family trips to Disney and be on a soccer team. Those things aren't mutually exclusive. I think the problem is Amber presents things as kind of black or white, things were either perfect and amazing or the worst trauma ever experienced. So that makes people doubt claims like PTSD even more.
I think her worst problem is straight up delusion about her physical state and health, which contributes to her world being incredibly small, which makes things like basic adult tasks very scary, and leads to her constant ruminating and re-traumatizing herself that another poster mentioned. She has very little life experience due to her size, so she hasn't gotten the distance from her childhood or teen hurts that one needs to be able to move on. Even mundane childhood teasing can still hurt as an adult, but we learn to contextualize it, and let it go when the wound gets reopened.
At some point you just have to say "life's too short for this," but Amber is blind to the fact that her life is shorter than most, and she's stuck in her adolescent mindset that everything is too scary for her to try and change.
With PTSD, there is no distance or separation when the old trauma is triggered. You're just there again. Amber has spent so much time ruminating on these past hurts that she might as well be there again, too, still comforting herself with food.
Actually, that might be more true for Chantal now that I think about it. I can't see her ever trying to claim PTSD though.
Note she only collects the disorders that warrant sympathy or paint a picture of victimhood. She will never cop to having NPD or BPD because people don't think, oh you poor thing, they think what a raging bitch.
Even BED wasn't getting enough sympathy as an eating disorder because people saw her as a greedy binge monster instead of the dainty ana equivalent she wanted. But now it's "food addiction" which has many of the same qualities, but now she can lump herself in with heroin addicts and alcoholics and be just a tragic case of misfortune. I also noticed the switch up from BED to food addiction started right around the time Aaron Carter died (attention) and her bro relapsed or something (pity). Lol I remember her saying drug addiction "affects you and the people you love". Not you and the people who love you, no it's STILL about her and how much her bro loves HER.
I wasn't going to get into PTSD at all, but someone who was abused as a child to the point of having PTSD would not see a cake and moo "this is the abooooose I deal with!". Someone who was given skim milk would though.
She fetishizes victimhood. That's why it's all she "reads" about, watches on tiktok, pursues doctor appointments, diagnoses, and medications like it's her job, makes it her personality, and it's all she has to talk about. It's not JUST attention-whoring, she gets off on it like a fantasy. She needs to be the damsel in distress in perpetuity. She can't be saved, medicated, or healed because then the fantasy is over.
This is the only thing I can sort of agree with. It’s very likely she’s some kind of cluster B nightmare (BPD, NPD). I’d be willing to put money on it. But those people tend to be highly manipulative if not delusional, so getting a correct diagnosis is difficult. That’s why I’m willing to believe Amber and her 5,000 different therapists have been throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
Like I said, if she wants to play the PTSD card, she better damn well start doing something about it. No one wants to put up with her whining and crying, blaming the audience, eating bags of Chips Ahoy on Tik Tok, or screaming about mUh tRaMa to justify why she gained 20 pounds this week.
Also lastly, another thing to consider for those who know people with PTSD from their military experience, most militaries disqualify you for having a bunch of different disorders meaning that the people who actually see combat are likely much more psychologically resilient than the general population (let alone a basket case like Amber).
Most new recruits are young. Too young for some disorders to have popped up yet or they haven’t been properly diagnosed. Some outright lie or are actively encouraged to do so by their recruiter. It’s not always a bad thing. For example, if someone had a hard time after a parent died and needed antidepressants temporarily. But there’s a flip side to that coin.
Some with issues get weeded out in boot camp (I’ve seen it happen), some don’t. It’s not easy to get out of the service at that point. Mainly because it’s not uncommon for certain morons to decide this military thing just isn’t as fun as they thought and makeup some crazy lie to get discharged. Sorry, but they’re not exactly going to say “Oh you poor thing! Here’s a plane ticket back to your hometown. Good luck and take care!”
