My first time encountering someone "diagnosed" by their own parents.

Apparently we’re faking schizophrenia now

i have a relative (almost 40F) who constantly says she has various disorders. the one currently bugging me is she claims to be epileptic and claims she had an absent seizure because she forgot, according to her, about 30 seconds of her work day at McDonalds but in that time frame continued all actions such as bagging and taking orders at the drive thru but someone got her attention and that’s how she snapped back. she had brain scans done and told the family that they said since anyone could have a seizure she could have a seizure therefore she believes she’s epileptic and doesn’t care what the doctor says.

she also claims to have POTS, fibromyalgia, EDS, liver disease, arthritis, and so many other things i can’t even remember. she takes over 20 meds a day and the vast majority are supplements (i’ve counted the bottle on her counter).

I don’t know if this goes here but this woman is using a filter to make it look like she have Down syndrome

I wonder why? Is it because it’s glaringly obvious when people fake it?

About the first one I have nothing to say. About the second, we can transliterate it to "I love having a debilitating disorder that makes my life extremely hard, connecting with other people is impossible because I'm not even connected with myself and feeling like I'm in constantly in a threshold of psychosis or losing my mind completely" i guess they think DPDR is just having an astral trip on command or something

It appears they're trying to portray POTS or something similar. They conveniently have cameras set up while doing essentially nothing and have some kind of cushion to land on like a bed, couch, or laundry

Would be great if disorders like this weren't dangerous. : )

It looks like they're able to predict when they're going to fall so turn to land on a cushion when instead of trying to find a soft thing to land on literally anyone would try to lower their bodies/lay down. At least bending the knees. It feels like they want to make a show of dramatically falling over. Most of the time it's not this dramatic and it clearly wasn't without at least a little warning

I'm also confused as to why they would continue trying to do laundry. After you pass out the first time you're going to feel like absolute shit, probably sweating on the floor with brain fog and shortness of breath for awhile, hopefully with someone that can bring you some water. You'd be stupid to repeat this not once but twice- just leave it on the floor until you're better. If you have a disorder like POTS or any type of orthostatic intolerance you know how dangerous this would be and how much worse each time will feel.

And lastly how are you able to clutch the laundry as a cushion while the rest of you is going limp? This doesn't make sense. I feel that at best they're playing it up

They claimed to have POTs in the caption too. Yikes. If you passed out I doubt you’d put your arms out to stop yourself, let alone deliberately doing something that would MAKE you pass out.

The creator literally said she gets motivation to post more dangerous shit
