"This policing of illnesses online often verges on bullying, and can have serious ramifications for both posers and people with real-life conditions. It creates a 'boy who cried wolf' culture around health on social media, which subjects actual sufferers to skepticism and condemnation. . . . Feldman calls actual sufferers 'the real casualties of deception — because they are there legitimately seeking help. When the skepticism ends up undermining their efforts to get it, that's just deeply unfortunate.'"
Harriet Shepherd (2021) on the witch-hunting of people who fake disorders/illnesses. [Source]

always offputting to me how much people (journalists, medical professionals) put focus on appearance and aesthetics when discussing things like self-diagnosed and "imitative" DID. like i feel like i see a lot of. idk. "people on tiktok who dress in colorful clothes while calling themselves systems..." "the DID patients i treat are different from those people online, who have dyed hair and do cosplays..."
& like, the validity of these ppl's claims of having DID is always in question when these traits are being brought up. it just feels like a weird attempt to create a distinction between Normal, Reasonable People and Those Attention-Seeking Liars Flaunting Their Blue Hair Online.
this permeates DID spaces too. lost track of how many times ive seen someone on r/DID lamenting how they have to share spaces with "those weirdos who use neopronouns" and how they just want to find "other NORMAL people with DID"
#imitative in scare quotes here bc i dont think theres a consensus among laypeople what that term means.#i just read an article that described imitative DID as 'a form of malingering'. so#abyssposting#syscourse

The did-is-not-real account following all of the DID accounts on tumblr just to try to bully or belittle them is so fucking funny to me😂 fan behavior tbh. You must have a lot of hate in your heart to really spend so much time doing that instead of minding your business. Claims they are worried about malingerers as if that’s actually their problem to deal with and not someone’s personal therapy team. Yikes!

I’m convinced that every Dostoevsky fan on here has one specific character that is like a sleeper cell to activate their most absolutely insane obsessions. The blorbofication that goes on in our very tiny community is truly next level. It’s like a very complex Rorschach test of what your specific most inner neurosis are only it’s impossible to decipher exactly what it says about you in any way and only leaves you with more questions than answers.

ANNABELLE: Look I'm no good at monologue-ing. Won't you please monologue for me?
MARTIN: What's in it for me?
ANNABELLE: I'll stuff you with 100% fewer spiders.
MARTIN: Gimme.

"Biz, what would you like for your birthday this year?"
"For nobody to misgender me for a day."
Turned out too much to ask (:
#tw: transphobia#tw: misgendering#literally every person i had to talk to today misgendered me#my mom kept misgendering me over and over again even in trying to correct people#“HER pronouns are they/them” i'm going to eat the fucking sun and shit#every doctor and nurse i spoke to kept calling me she/her#“IT'S FUCKING THEY/THEM I AM NOT A GIRL"#everyone reacts like i'm some special snowflake bedwetter that can't take misgendering#when the reality is that i have never gone a single day in my LIFE where i haven't been misgendered#oh and my doctor's office was too narrow for my wheelchair which was humiliating#and i had to spend 3 hours trying to explain to mom in a way that actually made a difference WHY it matters to not misgender me#and finally it clicked at hour 3 with “YOU'RE DESCRIBING TO STRANGERS WHAT MY FUCKING GENITALS LOOK LIKE AND IT FREAKS ME OUT”#“i hadn't thought about it that way”#oh and my doctor rolled her eyes at seeing a 32 year old in a wheelchair like i was malingering in a $5k chair#and demanded to know why i use it when it wasn't relevant to my visit AT ALL#my younger and older siblings BOTH treated me like shit for my gender identity so i wound up agender#because jesus fucking christ how insecure are you fucking cunts that you can't stand NOT being the only son/daughter to our mom#so i chose to be nothing!!! and they STILL won't fucking just live and let live#everybody's gotta hate biz for fucking something and that includes gender#*biz unsubscribes from gender* “hey >:(”#i hate my life#this was literally the worst birthday in my fucking life#had to starve myself of sleep to get up at 6am to drive 4 hours to a 20 minute appointment#misgendered 100% of the time while i couldn't get my wheelchair into any exam room because the doors were too narrow#questioned for needing a wheelchair. looked at like a child for being trans. clueless mom that wouldn't back me up.#and siblings that hate me because my mom genuinely likes my company more and it's because the two of them are so selfish#they won't bother to treat our mom with basic respect or interest in her as a human being outside of a mother when i do#but THEY can't be the problem. it has to be something MY fault

Everybody clap for me I felt uncertain on some stairs that didn’t have a railing and I asked aneki if I could hold her arm
#every time I ask for help instead of just trying to tough through or pretend I don’t have a problem#I think streamers should descend from the heavens and I should get a cake actually#TWO cakes#but please hold them for me until I get down these stairs WHOO#anyway. I thought my balance issues were just like. I’m out of shape or something. and I’ve always had some problems bc adhd.#until I was talking to mum about fibro and she was like ‘the first thing I noticed was balance issues’#I was like well shit maybe this bitch aint malingering after all

i still get mad sometimes thinking about how when i was a kid anytime autism affected me negatively or i had other learning difficulties (im still not sure if i have dyscalculia but math was very hard for me as a kid) my parents just got so frustrated and angry, like i wasn’t Trying Hard Enough to think and act right and it was my active fault i was like this. i had a lot of behavioral problems and they were pretty much all because i was disabled and just receiving abuse at home on top of it instead of any help or intervention. i wasn’t physically disabled, that didn’t start becoming an issue for me until i was a bit older, but it was such a pain in the ass sometimes for them to give a fuck that i was sick and they interrogated me for faking basically every illness so much that i can’t imagine what it would’ve been like if i had been physically disabled as a kid. Nightmare
#like unless i was so sick that i looked like death my parents tended to assume i was malingering too get out of school#once i fainted bc my mom thought i was lying about being dizzy so i wouldn’t have to let her curl my hair for church#like. but ok sure parents are universally so devoted to ensuring the health of their disabled kids#abuse ment#i need to not like. be thinking about this

✂️🌂?
Hrm I think I will choose....an original OC.....Marianne :) ✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories? Oh there's a couple to choose from here. Hmmm...probably when she lost her sister.
🌂 - What genre do they belong in? Her story is a horror-fantasy!! Specifically a low-magic setting a-la Fear and Hunger. I made Malinger specifically because I think that horror stories set in fantasy settings are majorly unexplored. Like,there's dark fantasy,but there's very little horror fantasy,yknow??

TW: mental health problems, psychosis, open and graphic discussion of my hallucinations and delusions, mental health meds, mental health med side effects, medical inaction, medical malpractice.
Content under the cut.
Good god it’s happening again. It’s getting REALLY bad again.
I’ve been on a mood stabiliser for about a year now, and I’ve been VERY open with my psychiatrist about a lot of the complications I’ve faced, like needing my dose increased, nausea and headaches from increasing my dosage, persistence of mania, night terrors, delusions, etc. And now the delusions and hallucinations are worse than they were. They’d gotten better for a while but now here I am and good gods, I want it to stop so badly.
I want to not see things and people melting slowly. I want to not perceive that people have been replaced by near identical clones. I want to not perceive that some people are just my mother in elaborate disguise. I’d make it all stop or go away if I could, and when I was a younger man I tried, though when I tried I fully thought that I was God and could control the universe with just my thoughts.
I’ve been trying to talk to my psychiatrist about it. I need to get my mood stabiliser increased, sure, and I know that. But I also desperately need to get on an antipsychotic. And I think she thinks I’m malingering.
Do people actually think that folks with these problems are faking this? Malingering is relatively rare, and by all means, infuriating for all parties. But do the professionals genuinely think that we’re malingering? Because I’d bet (if I had money and were a gambling man) that it’s way harder to fake than you’d think. People who do that whole malingering thing unequivocally baffle me. Antipsychotics are extremely expensive and I cannot believe people would genuinely be willing to buy them and fake it for sympathy. I can’t afford 880 dollars per refill no matter how hard I try because I can barely make rent in a month (at least I get my meds through the school pharmacy where they cost way less).
So what even is the point of some other person faking it? To sell their prescription drugs for a profit on a black market? To gain sympathy? To get some kind of disability benefits?
I just need for my psychiatrist to fucking listen to me for five seconds and to actually fucking help me for once in her goddamn life when all the other doctors or professionals in their white coats and clean blouses and blazers won’t. I need help because they all fucking refuse to help me and my psychiatrist is supposed to help me. They took a vow to “do no harm”, but that vow is useless when their own inaction or bias is the cause of the harm. It’s pointless and futile! Why take a vow when you don’t even listen to the people you swore to help?
Medical inaction is ableism. Medical inaction is malpractice. Medical inaction is to be complicit in the deaths of so many mentally ill people.
Doctors say “do no harm” but they leave the mentally ill to suffer and die because “what if they��re faking it?” That’s a poor excuse to deny people adequate (read: potentially life saving) treatment and healthcare.
Shame on the pharmaceutical industry, shame on doctors, shame on malingerers, and shame on everyone complicit in the ableism, incompetence, inaction, corruption, and denial that kill.
Shame on you.
#ramblings of jareth#no but seriously#mental health matters#mental health#tw psychosis#tw mentions of mental illness#tw mental illness#tw ableism#tw bipolar#tw malpractice#inaction is malpractice#inaction is harm#dismissal is harm#tw mental health medications#mental health medication#mental illness#psychosis#antipsychotics#mood stabilizers#I hate people who fake illnesses or disabilities#shooting malingerers with lasers in my mind rn#malingering#mental health meds save lives#malingering kills#WHEN WILL YOU LEARN#WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES#FUCK#angry Jareth moment#I am full of rage and this is now the psychiatric health industry’s problem#it’s their fault and I will hold them accountable

The phrase "I can't understand how anyone would want this/DID" has been completely and utterly abused on this site to the point where when I see someone use it I immediately end up skeptical and whenever I get any urge to talk on the struggles of dissociative disorders myself I just feel my stomach churning
#i have seen this followed up by some of the most batshit and disconnected from reality dialogue multiple times#to the point where i legitimately cannot tell how to recognize the line between someone using a legit coping skill correctly#and someone either malingering or egrandizing their actual symptoms for more clicks#and i just. it feels very heavy and very bad today#actually did#dissociative identity disorder#did#dissociative#vent#anti endo#or just roleplaying#i cant tell that either#theres so many fucking posts that make me feel like everyone else is in some elaborate roleplay that i was the last to figure out#and it just brings me back to the fucking worst time

“To My Daughter With Love” premiered on NBC thirty-one years ago today on January 24, 1994. It starred Rick Schroder as a recently widowed young father who must decide how his daughter should be raised after the death of his wife. I’ve seen this once and it is such a heartwarming story. Ricky is truly wonderful in this movie.
