🗝️🏷️ fake disorder cringe RAMCOA vent

I clearly don’t have enough people blocked with where our stuff turns up (fake disorder cringe). I’m in love with the idea that I’m delusional. I am, technically, but I’ve never been able to pull that blanket over our trauma history. That I’ve simply misattributed the scars and internal damage, trying to spice up a boring childhood I don’t remember. And that’s all that’s wrong with me; psychotic, the kind of mad where only I get hurt. I like that idea, almost better than a world where we don’t remember at all. Explains why we’re like this without the weight.

I can’t find the post, but we did try to save the people we left behind. A constant inconvenience, but the only real effort made it twice as bad later. I’ve always been a fan of loosing the saw and freeing the rope into the highway ditch by the rest stop. I’ve tried to trade my life, but they wouldn’t take it.

I struggle to explain away the daily memories; the worst of it might be delusions, maybe memories of hallucinations, but other people acknowledged the evidence. Unless I made that up, too.

No one understands the internal rationalizing I try to get away with, because to you I might as well be weaving stories from imagination. I don’t want them to be dead, I don’t want to think of the people who lived, I don’t want to think about the state of our justice system that we told and nobody believed us. They never checked, to my knowledge. Certainly not before asking whether we were on meds.

This is also not the post for this, I’m just rambling my emotions so my housemates don’t see my cackling at the wall later, but like us, RAMCOA is half-documented. Most RA cases aren’t brought in with the ideological imagery found at the scene, most torture is only uncovered after a rare investigation or a found body. Mind control is hardly an uncertain phenomenon, but it doesn’t go by that name in public. Group behavior, brainwashing. You might have to see the results in person to see what it does to us, and I’m not inviting an audience to me.

I do laugh at this subreddit. It’s an angry near hysteria that gives me energy to be more educational. I don’t want to be, but I exist and some folks are deeply confused by this. Whatever. Telling the internet my story gets me prepared to go into details in therapy. And it’s fucking entertaining.

I don't know, I think r/fakedisordercringe is okay, actually.

I spent the worst part of 6 years thinking I had DID, and other things I didn't because my ex-husband fucking Munchausen By Proxy'ed me. FDC not only made me realize that what I was experiencing was likely fake, but also reminded me that even with a fuck ton of research, and self tests, you can still be wrong. I'd spent 4 out of those 6 years looking shit up, self assessing, taking those assessments to my psyche. I was wrong.

I am now seeking diagnosis for BPD, as my best friend, who is a medically certified psych, and literally diagnoses people for a living, has suggested I do, as I meet the criteria for BPD way before DID.

FDC also made me realize how many people fake being autistic. Which I have been fighting for assessment and diagnoses for almost my entire life, despite being quite obviously autistic in my day-to-day life.

Those who fake, those who appropriate - do you not realize you are actively harming people? Do you not realize you are actively making it harder to get proper diagnoses? To get proper resources? To be taken seriously by medical professionals?

[redtail-lol]

Bingo for autistics - why would r/FakeDisorderCringe fakeclaim YOU?

[antiendovents]

im scared of getting on fdc. just made my blog and since I'm a hazbin fictive I feel like ima get posted very soon.. god the fear of it... idek anymore I just needed to get this out - lucii ( @luciitaless666 )

im sorry you feel that way, FDC is a stupid Reddit and anyone who uses it are assholes. It's not funny to make fun of actual disabled people and to bully them just because you think they're "faking" or "cringe". I hope you didn't get posted and if you did they can go fuck themselves, you don't deserve that 🫂

[the-collective-of-anything-goes]

One of the main things that upsets me about FakeDisorderCringe is the systems posted on there can’t win.

Fictive acting like their source? Faking.

Fictive that acts NOTHING like their source? Faking.

Systems with low amnesia barriers and amazing communication? Faking.

Systems that have high amnesia barriers and terrible communication? Faking,

“Weird” alters? Faking.

Alters that are just regular dudes? Faking.

Overt? Faking.

COvert? Faking.

Comorbid disorders? Faking.

NO comorbid disorders? Faking.

Minor? Faking.

Adult? Faking.

You literally can’t win.

wondering if ive ever been posted to fake disorder cringe 💀 i have so much beef w that subreddit yall dont even KNOW

somebodys disabilities isnt your fucking business and frankly its not your call to make on whether “from the surface” that person is “actually disabled” or not. you dont know them, you dont know what lifes like for them, disabilities are a wide spectrum. everythings a spectrum if you think about it, so imagine being that FUCKING dense that you’d go take time out of your day to post a video of a disabled person who uses a cane “not using the cane” just so you can feel all “oh i toldja so 🤓☝️” thats actually horrible and im genuinely shocked the subreddit hasnt gotten ion know banned or whatever they do to subreddits on reddit (i dont use that site)

im autistic, and i bet a bunch of people would say “oh youre just saying that cause autisms a trend wahwahwah” mf its not a trend. autistic symptoms in girls only started to be recognized very very recently, and the only reason YOURE seeing more of it is because its getting easier to diagnose. again, autism is a WIDE spectrum, everyone experiences it differently, just cause you see somebody on tiktok whos proud of their autism and doesnt let the world shit on them for it doesnt mean theyre a faker. you shouldnt even be putting those labels on people to begin with. 

because at the end of the day, and i cant stress this enough, ITS. NOT. YOUR. FUCKING. CALL. TO. MAKE.

[the-alice-killer]

You know I feel like I'm in the minority because I could not give two fucks if I get posted to syscringe or fdc because 1. I will never go to those pages and 2. Can't say it to my face, your opinion is immediately invalid to me

Have I been posted? Don't know don't care. Never will.

Come on darling, I'm an attention whore. If you think I'm cringe or fake, come tell me.

[altosys]

alright. fdc is dogshit and it's about time someone said it. (tw: ableism, grooming)

To introduce myself, hi, I'm Electra, frequent fronter in the Alto System. I split off of the former host, Ice, and thus used to be "part of him" (i guess?) and as a result have direct experience with with the FDC community.

So... my experience with FDC. (For anyone who doesn't know, I'll give a brief summary: FDC, short for "fake disorder cringe", is a phenomenon where people repost someone's disability-related content and claim that the person in the video is "faking" whatever disorder they say they have - usually plurality, autism, tics, and BPD.)

Back in 2021, I was going through a mental health crisis as well as frequent psychotic episodes. Assuming I had some form of schizophrenia (since that's the closest I could think of), I started to panic about if anything was real, if I should be locked up somewhere, if medication would numb everything, and so on. Eventually I found a video from a schizophrenia awareness channel, and from there I found their Discord server.

Now, mind you, I didn't have therapy at the time. So this place was the best I got.

I eventually met someone on there (who went by 'Poof' - if she sees this I hope she cries herself to sleep knowing I realized I actually have DID), and she seemed really nice. She knew the ropes of the place, hell, she even got me a place in the high rankings since she told her boyfriend (who was the admin) about me and so everyone knew I was "one of them".

I eventually used the vent channel one day to talk about some suicidal ideations I was having. No plans mentioned, nothing. Just that I felt incredibly inferior. And also that I wanted to go to therapy and be on medication to manage my debilitating, life-threatening anxiety (turns out I had several anxiety disorders, general anxiety and panic disorder).

To which Poof, and two of her friends try to convince me that "medication bad, it never works for anyone" and "we'd know since we're professionally diagnosed with schizophrenia". So, realizing that I could never be one of them unless I had their exact struggles, I lashed out and said "maybe if I actually had schizophrenia y'all would listen to me." Now obviously this sounded bad. Very very bad. Especially out of context.

Poof betrayed me, but she was the only friend I had. And mind you, this was the very first time I'd ever felt so conflicted (insert a picture book called "baby's first BPD split" /lh).

Eventually, I left the server, knowing I wasn't welcome there anymore. I felt outcasted, betrayed, and so heartbroken.

I went back to what she got me into, and all of the FDC mindsets, as well as the time she told me that she bullied someone off of the server because they self-diagnosed with Bipolar, but didn't know the difference between Bipolar (abbreviated as BD) and BPD (to which she called people with BPD "toxic"). And I realized how fucked-up it was. I realized that she straight-up gaslighted me into seeing anyone with mental illnesses other than schizophrenia or autism as toxic and most likely faking.

And then I realized.

She wasn't just your typical FDC asshole, she was a straight-up groomer. (I know introjects aren't their source, but if I had a nickel for every time I said something about someone grooming me in hopes that it gets a whole community banned from the internet, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice)

I'm not sure if I want to get into detail at the moment, but basically: she'd tell me about stuff she didn't want anyone else on the server knowing (her love life, where she lived, etc.), despite the server having a "no NSFW" rule her and her boyfriend (one of the admins) were fine with a borderline-ERP going on between two of the server members in the general chat, and in hindsight I wish I'd left earlier. Among other things, as well as my main point of *literally grooming me into being an FDC supporter.*

So, *sighing*, from June to November 2021- wait a second hold on here, I'm starting to sound like my source. Speaking of being an introject, the very moment someone claimed to have an introject in their system, Poof would be like "nope. faking." Especially with popular media (My Hero Academia, Hazbin Hotel, DSMP, etc.) and with factives.

Then again I realize how ableist she actually was: Thought people with BPD were toxic, claimed to be a "narc abuse" survivor, absolutely against the very thought of self-diagnosis, constantly played the Trauma Olympics:tm: to prove she was right about anything and everything psychiatry-related, would fakeclaim someone the moment they were both queer + neurodivergent (despite being pansexual and having 6 diagnosed mental disorders herself), laughed at "weird" things needing to be TW'd (eg. caps lock)

As for my "am I schizophrenic" crisis, turns out I had Fantasy-Prone Personality (the main reason I suspected being schizophrenic), a bunch of dissociation-related neurodiversities (DPDR + DID) (explaining why things didn't feel real at times), General Anxiety (which caused my panic in the first place), and being somewhere on the schizophrenia spectrum (someplace vv close to Schizotypal) though not for the reasons I thought. So yeah.

Last note about FDC, they've started fakeclaiming and laughing at RAMCOA survivors. Jesus fucking christ, what's happened to this already-trainwreck-of-a-site? Someone reposted a tumblr post of someone saying "we should get rid of FDC because of how it's especially ableist towards RAMCOA survivors" and the FDC poster added the caption "guess someone's pissed". Like, no shit?

Anyways yeah. Fuck FDC, fuck groomers, and if anyone has any shit experiences with FDC they'd like to add you're more than welcome to put them here. <3

Stay safe, y'all. -Electra ⚡

[steence]

why can't the people on syscringe and fdc take any like. criticism of their space? its so strange to me. im not the type of person to be like "OHoH BaN fDC" cus thats not gonna like. instantly kill all the people on there. theyre just gonna go somewhere else lol. i just think its strange that instead of listening to any criticism theyre just like ahah 📸 screenshot. post.and then they have the nerve 2 tell me theyre "disproving misinformation" when most of the things i thought i learned from there had to be unlearned with the help of. my therapist.

and for as much as the people they post are chronically online. theyre 10 times as chronically online. like. to be obsessed (and this IS obsession) with bullying people you think are fakinf a disorder is so fuckin weeeeeird.

‼️🦺⚠️warning: abelism⚠️🦺‼️

Attention I'm not a professional, so only take this as another POV

I recently checked out r/fake disorder cringe to see if they had any good points. I gotta broaden my perspective and all that.

Bad news, they had no good point (shocking, I know), good news, they gave me room to think about my opinion on both sides.

I might make more posts about this, and it will be unorganized because I'm clearly faking mental illnesses I never said I had.

So starting off with the dumbest thing I've seen be posted, someone was posted on Fdc because they wanted to get diagnosed... the kid wanted to get diagnosed with bpd because they felt tired of feeling crazy, you know what the comments talked about, they talked about how people will make you feel more crazy if you get diagnosed AND people were saying she might have developmental issues because her eyes were droopy???

Another warning for abelism

From what I've seen, fdc is big on actual diagnosis, and they DESPISE self diagnosis, so if you support getting diagnosing, why are you actively trying to hurt someone who's trying to get diagnosed. If they got diagnosed, then they wouldn't be self diagnosing, and they could possibly find out what they might actually have if it's not actually bpd.

But to bring up the points mentioned in the comments "could just be hormones" now I won't say this is the dumbest argument I've heard (if you've been on the subreddit then you know) but if they've been feeling this way long enough then maybe they know they have it, it's almost like they lived their life and you haven't been there their whole life. But if it is just hormones and they still get diagnosed and have to deal with trying to get rid of it, how does that effect you exactly, they are the ones who have to deal with hours of paperwork, phone calls, appointments, legal stuff probably, and much much more. It doesn't affect you and all you would need to do in the end if you sit back and go "HA TOLD YA SO" scummy, but you could do it.

Another comment thing I saw was people saying that dissociation can only equal DID, which isn't true. I even saw a post that was labeled as DID, and people still said they were faking DID in the comments. A recent post I saw was about this guy singing, and then he dissociates, and people in the comments said he was faking DID.

I'm gonna ignore their number one argument on the sub where they say, "It doesn't look like that😡" because that's too easy. Instead, I'm gonna talk about how it could just not be DID. First off, with something easy, if they like that song, they could dissociate due to an attention disorder, or just cus, the op also didn't show the caption so I don't even know if they are making the claim that they have DID. For all I know, the tiktoker could be saying, "I don't have DID. I was just being silly and wacky, lmao." Also ,it doesn't come on in a second." That would make sense because not only is the video sped up, but also you could see the gradual shift before finally dissociating.

I have more to say, so I will post more later

[hazedxhealing]

Having now processed and accepted that I was wrong in my quest for a DID diagnosis, I will now be putting every info-post I've made in my pinned when I re-write it.

Because I may have been wrong about *myself*, but this information could help someone else, and also the fight against endos isn't over.

I am now learning that ppl fake other things, too. That fight isn't over. Consider me an anti, I guess, but I won't stand for appropriation of excruciating mental illnesses.

[thedecayedsys]

I checked in on FDC to get some early morning judgement in

Someone just, doesn’t think DID exists 💀

God people are so willfully ignorant

[hazedxhealing]

As someone who frequents FDC, lemme just shed some light on it, yeah?

FDC exposes people faking disorders, it’s in the name r/fakedisordercringe, fake being the keyword here. 

I’ve browsed FDC for a few years, and I haven’t seen anyone who is genuinely diagnosed posted - especially since it’s against their rules. 

FDC acknowledges the struggle of figuring shit out and getting diagnosed - that being said these kids saying they have disorders that are 1) impossible to diagnose at a young age, and 2) are cute, quirky and trendy right now is more of a problem than FDC fucking existing. 

If not the children, the adults - who know better - saying they are “so bipolar”, “so OCD”, etc. That they have 10k DreamSMP alters, giving BPD a worse rep. 

FDC isn’t the problem. People who are faking very serious and debilitating mental health disorders for shits and giggles or sympathy are the problem.

They will continue to call em out, until they stop. Get bent, and die mad.

Edit: this is not to say what they are doing is okay, or correct. It is still ableist, but you can't be mad about that when the people they post make seriously debilitating disorders look like a joke.

Reminder: Subreddits like FakeDisorderCringe are anti-system. There's never going to be any system, to them, that isn't faking. No matter what that system says or does. They're never gonna believe any system.

What are the reasons fakedisordercringe would fakeclaim y'all on their stupid abelist sub I'm curious
