Haha dance!
You know they're faking when they promote anything and everything except treatment with a professional
100%
And then say self diagnosis is valid
Absolutely.
Absolutely this. And most resources, as far as doctors, specialists, and aid that schools can give have to have a valid diagnosis. This is the hell I'm going through with my son who recently developed ticks, most likely because he has autism. I can't get any of the help he really needs until he's ticked for so long and they also want him to have a scan of his brain. Thank goodness that's happening in June, and something will be done soon, because he's so miserable right now.
I don't know where the "self diagnosis" thing started in USA, but I would like to tell ya'll something. The latin autistic and ADHD community started to say that self diagnosis is more or less okay because is really hard to get an official diagnostic, specially if you're autistic or ADHD, and even more if you're a grown female, living in latinamerica. I'm from Argentina and I've been trying to get my autism diagnosis since 2020 and I still can't get it even though my neurologist said that I am indeed autistic. But that's because mental health professionals are really bad in latinamerica. And although the community says that self diagnosis is valid at some point, they still promote professional treatment and offer help to those who had a hard time looking for a good professional.
As someone really into goth and underground fashion, the fact that they dress up like that and claims that they have mental disorders is really bothersome because people used to call me mentally ill for wearing unusual makeup and colorful hair
Same, they put the two together now and I'm tired of it
So true, the number of times ive heard people (always men too. Is that also your experience?) call women with unnaturally coloured hair mentally ill... its disturbing. When they rush to make harmful stereotypes it says a lot about them...
True. I actually am mentally ill and have some issues but I don't wear it on my sleeve. I dress goth/alt from time to time because I'm really into fashion. Most of the time I'm glam or girly. I've always been into dying my hair because it's something that's been done for me since I was little. However non of these things I do because I'm mentally ill. I do them because it makes me happy. I dyed my hair when I was a child and I was completely normal back then. Even though I do have problems I don't wanna be looked at as one of these tiktok weirdos. The only time my illness is reflected in my clothes is when I wear baggy things to hide me or wear sweats and joggers cuz I'm sad and can't do better. Dying ur hair and wearing different clothes shouldn't label u as ill.
@@UltraViolet666 Yep, I dyed my hair blue when Jinx from League of Legends came out because I wanted to cosplay her because we have similar pale skin and noodle shaped appendages, and obviously I already wanted to do something different with my hair. All my male "friends" from gaming would not stop making disgusting jokes about me having just had a mental breakdown or been assaulted making me dye my hair? All the comments on the first pic I posted were by dudes who never comment on my page were making weirdly sexualized mental health comments as well as if they think blue hair doesn't just = mentally ill, but also easy to bed? Or men being like "oh blue hair? they broke up she's finally single guys". Which isn't that kinda telling on themselves? Like, oh "blue hair? I bet she's mentally ill and will want to have sex with me"....???
@@CamDollar thats gross as fuck! Im so sorry... all the randoms, let alone your friends 🤬
I was diagnosed with schizoaffective (bipolar type) essentially against my will in a psych ward and refused to accept it for years while refusing medication until I finally accepted it at rock bottom. I can't imagine people wanting a disorder when every experience I've had or seen others have has been the total opposite
I should also mention, I have a diagnosis of autism and adhd from childhood and it's impossible to talk about anything on there anymore and finding people like you is harder now
the world is filled with genuine people. just be happy you are one of them.@@Girahteenah I get so embarrassed and honest to god FREAKED out by fact I hallucinate such realistic people and get caught talking to people that aren't there... and sometimes it's just such a time waster to talk to my boyfriend for an hour and have him come home and all i do is turn my head back and poof the guy I was having a conversation with for a full hour isn't the real one, wasn't there, and im crazy. What does crazy even mean? Like I know the light poles arent growing legs and running across the street when im driving, but other people don't see that stuff. I'm like literally a danger to this world, and every day I gotta tell myself a pep talk. Like, okay, we can still do this. the only part that actually gives me any real anxiety is people talking out of earshot I constantly hear threats against me and it's been a real pain dealing with since a kid. this is the part where schizophrenic disassociation become literally dangerous. if all of that isn't enough to scare these kids into going to a doctor and seeking real help, I don't know what would.
The PTSD stigma these people create is what gets me. It's ruining my life my sleep my eating habits. I can't go certain places and panic attacks are crippling and embarrassing :(.
Yep, I hate telling people I have PTSD&adhd because of these assholes. They're glamorizing and playing pretend with trauma, they can just stop when they get bored but we have to live in it.
Lmao
@@SergyMilitaryRankingsit’s not funny-
this is so real, sometimes it’s so embarrassing for me to tell people that I can’t do certain things bc of things that happened, it’s tuning so much and the panic attacks are overwhelming sometimes I cannot move
Same here!! I have c-ptsd combined with autusm and adhd. I'm on anxiety meds, and it is still difficult to cope with everyday stuff despite the meds. I understand you there :/
I've said it before and I will say it again. To me, and my dad who has a phd in child psychology, we think people who do this and go to this extreme for attention ect...do have a mental illness. It'd just not the cute, quirky ones they want to have. Edit: thank you so much for the likes and comments. Im glad I started a very important conversation about this topic and see everyone's thoughts 💛🧡❤
agreed. i think it shows that something is going on, but it may not be what they think it is
that is fascinating i never thought about it like that before
@@lydia8724 my dad is full of fascinating information 😂he's really made me interested in the human pschy. At the very least, and I hate to phrase it this way, that maybe these people grow up and can cringe at their behavior with us, instead of getting diagnosed with serious mental illnesses.
Histrionic personality disorder. It's what amber heard has
@@raaaaaaarr possible Or Npd. OR being little shit heads [ is that a medical condition 🤔 😂]
I'm surprised nobody has brought up the fact that these people could have a different type of disorder. For all we know, they could have Munchausen's. Which is an illness in and of itself where "someone pretends to be ill or deliberately produces symptoms of illness in themselves". (NHS, 2021)
Yeah but Munchausen's cases actually know a lot about the disorder they're faking so that they seem more believable. And they don't do it for any gain like money, but for attention. And I'm not sure it has anything to do with mental illness, more physical illness
They don't have anything wrong with them other than stupidity and greed! Some of their own family members have even called them out for lying and faking these illnesses.
Yes, they definitely aren't stable humans.
exactly. whats even worse is that, we cant get an accurate statistics of munchausens because the people who have it are simply gonna lie abt not having it
I think it's just called being delusional and an attention seeker.
As someone who’s on the spectrum, thank you for making this video. Autism isn’t all “I wear rainbows and make flappy hands when I’m happy!” It’s also not understand social cues, being overstimulated or under stimulated very easily, getting frustrated over simple things that average people would gloss over, and much more. It’s not fun or quirky, it’s annoying.
As someone also on the spectrum, I full heartedly agree with you. They always seem to either make it just happy or exploit the symptoms that would be considered bad
I am also on the spectrum and my parents were the ones that noticed that I was not well... normal I am really low on the spectrum but I am really low. I was bullied for this and I was not doing so good is school. The fact that they are saying it's ~quirky~ and ~preppy~ Honey ~no~ 😘❤💅💫
As someone who's father has severe Borderline Personality Disorder, and who has it themselves it hurts to know someone wants to have these issues. It's not fun, it's not cute. I can hardly regulate my emotions. They're sporadic, harmful to relationships. I disassociate very badly to where it can harm my productivity everywhere I am. I become so depressed it's hard to get out of bed. I have tons, then no energy. It's very hard to live knowing if one thing sets it off I could have a ruined day and kill the vibes of those around me. Im thankful to have a supportive partner and amazing friends. It's not fun, it hurts and it's crushed my father to become a terrible man.
Faking mental illness should be a crime. Its sick beyond belief and truly malicious towards people that have to live every hour of every day with those afflictions..
It's gross
Its disgusting and makes those who have real mental health issues into some kind of joke and not taken seriously.
I agree 💯
If you consider it to be munchausen but with mental illness then it is illegal!!
I agree it makes it harder for people to get real help I've had a friend commit suicide her parents didn't believe her and told her she didn't need the help. Mental health is no joke.
"I want this" YOU DO NOT WANT BPD. YOU DO *NOT* WANT BPD. I've destroyed several relationships and people have left me because of things barely in my control. You do not want this disorder.
I've destroyed so many relationships and friendships because of mine. It's hell even with the help I was able to receive. I also have a leave or be left complex stemming from it where I've destroyed so many relationships because I gotta leave them before they can leave me
*'signs you might have BPD or Borderline! ✨🥰💅'* this shit isnt cute. i hate those videos with a passion especially when you look at all the comments of 12-16 yr olds. you being sad one minute and fine the next does not mean you have borderline, it just means youre a hormonal teen. it angers and terrifies me that i dont have my brain in control. that i can't understand my own feelings or thoughts. its hard to live with in every way, school, work, social live i all fucked it up numerous of times. a mental disorder is not ✨special and quirky✨
Me too. It's fucking brutal 😣 not cute, not quirky, it's life destroying
its so hard having it
This is why sadly, most of us end up unaliving ourselves That constant war you have with your mind its brutal. Tbh i found it even worse when i gained insight so even getting "better" for us, can just make shit so much fucking worse. Hope that makes sense
Isn’t faking a mental illness a mental illness in itself? So desperate for attention you’d go thru all of that for attention and/or a following/money.
Yes, it is. But they're not going to happily flaunt something like narcissism. Claiming to have NPD doesn't let you dress up in fun clothes or say random silly things for TikTok.
Seeing that one girl lie about having seizures is crazy. I have diagnosed petit mal and it's terrifying. I've had seizures in my sleep, two of which left me on my bedroom floor leaking blood. Why tf would anyone pretend to have something like this????
I hope you’re doing well friend. This sounds not only exhausting but terrifying.
@Bumbly_Vee Oh, thats easy dude, they just have _nothing_ going on in their lives, so only way they can get that sweet sweet attention is to make up stuff. Being outraged on anything and everything for few days then pointing the hate mob on some other poor one who probably did not do anything, but they don't care. Having mental illness because they see everybody else talking about theirs and getting that sweet attention. Don't get me wrong, these dummys are f*cked in the head, but just not the "cute" way they want to be
@@laurenfannin9104 I'm fine-ish for now(not sure if they happen in my sleep or not) . I just need to save money for medicine.
Someone on discord claimed they had DID, self diagnosed themselves, and refused to get them diagnosed because it was "too hard to get diagnosed." Their alters were basically anime characters. So crazy.
That’s so discord of them
Anime characters? Yep, that checks out.
@@barnacleboi2595 and one of the alts was an animal too
These kids need more after school activities they have way too much time on their hands if you start pretending to be a cartoon
@@jdub-oh9wy yep basically. Or more parents needing to give time to their kids.
As someone with Borderline Personality Disorder and major depression it makes me so mad, sad and just overall disappointed that someone would fake it. Its not fun and it's a very hard illness to deal with.
Hey we have the exact same diagnosis
It’s a very hard illness to deal with. I’ve been hospitalized so many times and in so many treatment centers. A lot of people don’t understand it and it took me awhile to even understand it myself
I am bipolar type 1 with borderline personality disorder. It is annoying how even main stream media like Hollywood movies and the music industry portray the two as interchangeable. But the thing that has me spitting mad is when they act like bipolar is mood swings, of that it means happy or sad. COMPLETE HORSE SHIT!!! Bipolar 1 disorder is an issue involving naturally occurring chemicals in our brains and the synapses which they travel through. Simply stated; your brain is either producing too much or too little of certain chemicals and/or they are not flowing properly along the synaptic highway
@user-td6wy7xe8s we have the same exact diagnosis 😮
@@Split_mirror_system it cracks me up (in that laugh so you don't cry way) that the social media addled youth think they want mental/emotional/chemical disorders. I am 44 and have been dealing with what presents like a pituitary tumor. My primary care physician has been extremely concerned. Unfortunately, we are the ones. Getting a doctor to actually HEAR you is so frustrating, it's enough to drive a person crazy ( if you can't laugh at yourself...) Everything from multiple E.R. doctors to neurologists have offhanded suggested to down right accused me of having a "bipolar issue". It is frightening how many medical professionals have no clue that there is bipolar type 1 and 2 let alone the differences so absolutely every time I have delt with doctors in my adult life they always, without fail, "suggest" that my meds must be off or I off my meds before even asking my symptoms
Thank you for calling these people out. I have struggled with Tourette’s since the age of 7. My tics are calmer now at the age of 36 but in my younger days, I had to surrender my driving licence, ended up with painful burns, got picked on in school and moved away from on public transport. It wasn’t fun. These people who think it’s cool disgust me.
i was actually mutuals with nekobite on my first ever tiktok. unfortunately, they’re back and i’ve seen them on my fyp a few times. they continue to say that what they did doesn’t matter anymore and it’s really disgusting.
Remember, it’s ok to look up symptoms of a disorder u feel u may have, but never say you have it until u get a full diagnosis
Agreed. Self diagnosing is never okay. Chances are they don’t even have what they think they have, and have convinced themselves beyond saving so even if a professional tells them that they don’t have a certain disorder they will do anything in their power to get diagnosed.
exactly. youre 15 years old. not a psychiatrist. dr google cant diagnose you
I have every symptom of bpd but mines a rule out diagnoses because the only one symptom I didn't have was anger problems
@@ChaosRipper thats really dumb because i have bpd and i don’t have extreme anger issues lol
@@ChaosRipper You are aware that most people don't present with every single diagnostic criteria for diagnoses, right? In fact, it's typically very easy to spot liars or exaggerators when they insist they must have a diagnosis because they have every single possible symptom at once.
This shit gets me so mad. Mental illness isn’t some quirky trait, its a serious problem. I grew up with my grandma who had schizophrenia. It was scary because most times she wouldn’t take her medication. She tried to kill me and my sister once because she thought we were possessed by the devil. I had to pry her hands off my sisters throat as she was choking her, my sister was 5 and I was 11. She then would get taken into the hospital, get medicated, and not have one memory of what she did. This was a repeating pattern. I take this topic pretty serious as usually there’s little help out there for the seriously mentally ill. That’s why a lot end up homeless. The resources for in hospital stays and treatment has dwindled greatly over the last 30 years. Having kids faking mental illness for clout isn’t going to help the situation. Trash behavior.
Firstly, I am so sorry you've had to deal with that in childhood! I never had to deal with that with my cousin as he was in prison my whole childhood, since he carjacked a woman and her 9 year old was still in the car when he drove off. He recently got out about 4 years ago, and just last november stabbed my mom in the arm severing the artery and fracturing her skull. Luckily she had a great team of doctors who were able to save her life and that arm. She now suffers from ptsd and the mere wind blowing sends her into flashbacks thinking he's behind her even though she is aware that he was sentenced to a 10 year stay in prison for that one (she requested he serve his time in a mental institution but good old state of florida said nah we will throw him in prison so his mental health declines more and the government gets free labor🤦). I cant even fathom what all of y'all have been through, I just know as an outside looking in perspective it was rough.
@@triciaboo1204 that’s sounds like a very traumatic thing to go through, I hope your mom can find some kind of healing but I know PTSD can be a life long struggle. Just awful.. I’m sorry. Yeah sounds pretty typical when it comes to crime and mental health. I’m in MA and there’s little help outside of going to psychiatrist if you’re willing. But for the mentally ill who may need more intensive help like hospital stays or even outpatient group therapy there’s always a wait list and places are full. And yet they continue to cut funding to mental health programs. I just don’t get it.
@@FarmhouseFelts thank you (: i try my hardest to be available from across the country if she starts spiraling and often send cute photos and videos of her grandbabies as a distraction, as well as finding a doctor who will dive into her various traumas and get deep into it so she can work through it ( per her request of course) and have reminded her of the grounding tools she helped teach me for panic attacks. Heck even from me and my siblings perspective getting a call that she was intubated and sewed back up but we had to have a password and her alias to call for any information, and even the fact that it was our ill cousin was a special brand of trauma. I find myself back and fourth knowing he needs help but glad hes locked up in prison. Like i know in my soul he should be in a mental health facility, but in some part of my body I wanted vengeance even when my mom didn't. All i can say is she is a much more gracious woman than I am and I can only hope to get to that level and am extremely happy i get the extra time to learn these lessons that was almost taken.
Hii :) I recently learned this and had to use this for a friend who deals with mental illness/addiction issues, a lot of hospitals, especially the religious ones are technically "non profits" in the united states ( 🙄 which like fxcking okay sure lmao our medical system is... a whole other discussion. Lol) but in order to maintain their non profit status, they have to offer something called Charity Care. They will probably have you call their financial department for this, but they HAVE to give you an application, no matter the circumstances. If youre a low income individual and your application is approved, you can have your hospital bill completely absolved. I hope this helps in any way for those who are looking for treatment for themselves or a loved one 💜
I’m sorry you went through that
As someone who was diagnosed with autism at a very young age and went to a special education preschool, I grew up being terrified to ever tell anyone I was on the spectrum. I would see friends poking fun at other autistic kids in my classes and would awkwardly watch, knowing they were making fun of things I also did and would hide to "blend in". As I got older, I found pride in being autistic and open with telling people about that part of me. But nowadays, I often get asked by people after they hear that I'm autistic if I'm "actually autistic" or self-diagnosed from tiktok since I "look too normal". I also meet people online and when I tell them I'm autistic, they say "me too, I'm just not diagnosed!!" It's disheartening to see something that affects my everyday life be used as a loose label for their identity without properly researching and getting tested, or doubt my experience because of other people's grabs for attention swaying their view.
Tik Tok got popular right after I finished my degree in psych and I deleted it after 2 weeks. It was so frustrating watching these "put your fingers down if you've ever experienced this.....if you put all 5 fingers down, you have borderline personality disorder" soooooo much misinformation that can be really damaging to people that don't know better.
As someone who's been clinically diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, I don't wish it on anyone, let alone understand WHY people would want to fake it
Or why someone wants to be it.
Literally, I wouldn't wish BPD or bipolar disorder on anyone (I'm diagnosed with both). It's the fucking worst, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, even with the help I've received
literally having attachments so strong they are crippling isn't fun, though i would GLADLY let someone take my BPD if they really want to know how it feels
@Ultimate Immigrant 🤪 Borderline Personality disorder
@Ultimate Immigrant 🤪 borderline personality disorder, also dubbed “the most painful mental disorder” by some considering how awful it is
Quick PSA from someone with tics: With the ticsandroses seeming to stop themself before they hit the tomatoes, some people with tics do actually do that as part of a tic. For example, when I have a tic that makes me throw something it looks like I’m holding it back but it’s just part of the tic in that I freeze before I throw it. I have quite the a few freezing tics. My whole point is, even though they were faking, if you see someone else doing something similar, give them the benefit of the doubt please because it’s so harmful to someone who actually has tics to be fake claimed. Secondly, most people with tics do not tic all the time. The diagnostic criteria for tourettes includes tics ALMOST daily and to have tics appear before 18, not necessarily in early childhood. I can go a whole day without a single tic and most days I have no tics for about an hour after I wake up. Also, talking about tics tends to make them worse. Again, you cannot actually tell if someone is faking or not unless it is explicitly proven, like it was with ticsandroses’ sister. So please don’t fake claim, especially if you don’t have tics! Everyone with tics is different. Thank you!
Yes so many people say things about ppl faking tics and are like oh they're faking tics because of this when it's actually something that some ppl with tics have
I have tics because of mental illness (that's what my psychiatrist said) and I'm so ashamed of myself after watching people faking tics. what if people think that I'm faking too just because it isn't tourettes or other kind of tic disorder... like I'm so scared tell it to new friends when they see it, thankfully my medication helps with it and I have tics very rare now. sorry I'm too nervous to write about that to someone who knows me...
@@zhekahatesyou-9305 I’m in the same boat, tbh I don’t really know how to tell people either. I think that’s a journey you need to go through personally, it all depends on what feels best. if people don’t accept these vulnerable qualities about you they aren’t worth having around, it’s all trial and error
I've had tics ever since I was around 5 but nothing severe, mainly just annoyed my family with verbal tics and small facial and physical tics that go unnoticed/not understood. It's so annoying telling someone I have tics and then they assume I have tourrettes and say im faking it. Firstly, tics are a symptoms. Secondly, i never claimed to have tourrettes. and I only really mention it when a tic is bothering me (like i can't stop winking/squinting) and it's so annoying to be doubted.... ive literally known about tics since I was 10, way before access to social media as well.
THANK YOU i'm tired of watching fake tourette's vids and being like "hey this person looks like they actually have it" (not related to this vid)
I’m diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and this recent TikTok trend with kids faking disorders have made it really difficult for me to say I have the disorder because people immediately doubt if I actually have the disorder meanwhile, if I said that I have Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder, people would immediately believe me and the disorder is misrepresented most of the time so people assume it looks a way it doesn’t. I want to add that the official global population for DID is 1.5% and it’s a form of Complex PTSD developed in adults who were abused as kids, the onset of distinctive (keyword is distinctive) symptoms appears later on in life though due to dissociative barriers breaking down.
The second part of this comment isn't entirely true. The disorder is developed in a child under the age of 9, before the typical human brain coalesces into one cohesive personality, not in adulthood. New alters can form at any point in time, but the disorder itself starts in early childhood. While it's true that many people with DID aren't aware of it early on, the symptoms definitely do exist in childhood and adolescence. The whole purpose of the disorder is to dissociate away from trauma, so obviously the symptoms of dissociation have to be present. It wouldn't be an effective coping mechanism if the dissociation didn't start until years after the trauma. In my body/brain, certain alters were aware of each other as early as middle school, but we were laughed at for suggesting we might have multiple personalities because all middle schoolers are kind of insane and have no idea who they are. We got labeled with depression, then bipolar disorder, then finally borderline personality disorder when people finally started believing our descriptions of what we were experiencing. We didn't know the word "dissociate" or how to describe "alters" at the time, but we knew that there was more than one person and that something like bipolar disorder didn't describe our symptoms at all. All those years ago, we actually had people say, "If you actually had multiple personalities, you wouldn't know about them." So just keep in mind that DID is a disorder that varies as much as the situations that cause it to begin with. While certain patterns are common, there is absolutely no universal truth in DID other than it being a childhood trauma-based disorder. The awesome brains that create it don't follow a rulebook or any set of guidelines; it's pure reactionary survival.
i couldnt have said it better. my friend is a part of a system and he is constantly in and out of dangerous situations bc of it. he keeps calling me from places hes never been, backs of strangers cars, in other states sometimes- i wish it wasnt as romanticized :(
@@KaiLucasZachary I know all of this /gen I was reading off of the ICD-11 based on what’s more common and the main part of what I mean is the distinctions, the symptoms are there the minute you develop DID as you said, they just present differently based on age and gender. According to the ICD-11, it’s common for the symptoms to present after removal from a traumatic situation or after being retraumatised (that’s what I was referring to) and the alters are aware of each other though very quickly. I’m referring to the large chunk of diagnosed / undiagnosed systems who become disabled as they grow older with the disorder
I had a friend who started taking medication for mental illness. When I first met them, they never said they had any form of mental illness except for autism. When the whole fake mental illness tik toy started appearing, suddenly everyone had the same disorder; they started to change, as well as suddenly they had DID out of nowhere, and the amount of alters they had would always keep switching; they would go from nearly 100 (175) to 80 something. I can't remember, but the alters I can tell you they had were the typical Babboyhalo, Skeppy, and DSMP alter. The most concerning alter they've had was a Ted Bundy Alter or Jeffrey Dahmer, but when we asked him to show us proof they had DID, they didn't, even though in the past they showed us a medical paper that listed his autism and other things (that medical paper didn't have DID, btw) and refused to even show proof. They kept saying that they got diagnosed with it, but would they say that their therapist refused to or that they haven't yet? They have done much worse, but yeah, and they have called us Ableists for calling out this type of behavior even worse. They have stated that the way you get an alter is by being happy. For example, they got a Boba cat alter from drinking Boba. I don't know if that's how it works. (Also yes they have self-diagnosed before)
Im on the spectrum and it really sucks seeing people mock being neuro divergent and such. Thank you for speaking about this, people really need to stop because it hurts people with disabilities or disorders. It’s ironic when they call others ableist when they are the ableist ones who are stigmatizing disabilities or disorders.
Am autistic, and I really hate seeing people do stuff like this. I was bullied for years for having autism, by both kids and adults. Yet these "people" are faking it for attention and people believe them! Most of them aren't even faking it correctly, it's like they get their info from autism $peaks or that horrible video by $ia.
@@undeadprincess5726 I agree. People are just so ridiculous. I relate to your experience and you know what? People just aren’t gonna get it. But some people will. It is so mind boggling how humans cannot understand the concept that there can be different ways the brain can work when we don’t even know a lot about how the human brain in general works!
@@undeadprincess5726 i've got through things like this too for being autistic and intellectually disabled, and it was my own family (my father, mostly) who bullied me. These people who fake it doesn't have any idea of how painful is to live with these conditions. I hope you're doing good, i know it isn't easy to keep it on, take care!

The issues these tiktoks had given me, personally. I used to be friends with someone, emphasize on "used to be". I am autistic. I was properly diagnosed in highschool after being misdiagnosed with adhd when i was 5. I have a very hard time with communication and empathy. They would tell me that I wasn't autistic and i was only saying that because of these tiktokers making it a trend, then proceeded to cuss me out in DMs when i showed legitimate signs.
As someone who's diagnosed with Autism and BPD, and has spent more than half my young life in and out of therapy and on and off different medications that really messed up my thyroid and caused other health issues, this really hurts. I was always the odd friend in the group, I was always confused trying to learn how to better communicate and socialise with my peers and family alike. It's not only about the self soothing and hyperfixations, that's not what autism is. It's the constant pressure of our society telling is the only way to be successful is to be socially acceptable and for people like me that's just not that easy. I've learned over years how to mimic and mask certain things. I've definitely overcome most my social anxiety and learned better coping/communication skills, but that was over YEARS of internal reflection as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. It's never been fun to be this way, it's not all bad, but it's surely never made me feel special or unique, just different and like I have alot to overcome to be on the same level as other people.
ALSO I'd like to add that I'm absolutely disgusted by the amount of people romanticising and sexualizing these disabilities because of these people faking. I saw a post yesterday that said "all these special Ed girls thick as hell. What's 2+4 with your badass"... and I just don't even have the words to really explain how gross that in itself is.
I can relate to you 100% … the worst thing to see is when you actually have these diagnosis’s and you actually do suffer from many of the unfortunate effects that come with BPD and autism… ( I understand because I’ve been through 10 years now of therapy for BPD and depersonalization, and they have given me so many tools for social interaction, and coping)… then people come out here, faking it, making people who actually suffer from these things look crazy, and cause us to be more insecure when all we do is try to fit in as best we can.
Sending you love and support! I also have BPD and I work with children with autism.
right!!! i agree 100%
Bpd is not quirky, fun or cool. It sucks. Someone want mine ill give it to them.
As someone who suffers from MANY mental health disorders, this just hurts. For me, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is the hardest for me to live with. We are trying to END the mental health stigmas, not create more! I wish people would realize that those who suffer from mental health disorders from very traumatic pasts or situations, just makes it hard for others to believe us and to get real help. Having any type of mental health disorder is NOT fun. And this is coming from someone who self-admitted themselves TWO times into a psychiatric hospital because I was worried what I might end up doing to myself. This isn't a game, or some fun quirky thing. Living like this, is painful: mentally, emotionally AND physically. You DON'T want to suffer like this, so stop trying to make it look "cool" because it's not!
the DID thing is so weird to me. i played dress-up INTENSELY all through my childhood (like everyone else duh), and i still do it as an adult in more subtle ways. any given day a part of my self dominates, so i lean into it. it's called being multifaceted. having a dynamic personality. a healthy imagination. it helps me cope with life and be consistent with my obligations. it decreases boredom. it's not a disorder or a mental illness. all the different parts of me create the soup that is my unique person, not a "system" or whatever. maybe combining those positive attributes with the desire for constant attention and an inability to validate one's self, with loneliness or living in situation that suppresses individual expression... maybe that's how you get this weird faker phenomenon.
That's very understandable that that's how you view your world but DID is a very different, and real disorder. You don't have it which is great for you but that's not how everyone is.
I grew up with a mom with a DID diagnosis, back in the 90's when it was still known as MPD (multiple personality disorder.) The amount of people I see faking it nowadays is nauseating. (I know I can't know for sure if they are faking or not, but, most of what I see DOES NOT match up with what I witnessed growing up.) They seem to be glamourizing it, and after seeing what my mother and I went through, trust me, it is not something to be made light of like that. The things people do for views are insane.
I met a girl in the mental hospital who has a “personality”(thats what she calls them) that literally tries to kill her and almost did. It grosses me out to see people faking DID
They glamorize a LOT of other illnesses and disorders. The biggest one I personally see is depression. They ignore the fact that we don't feel like doing anything, and only focus on the small things we don't have the energy for: like a dirty room. When many of us don't even bathe regularly and have to be reminded constantly to bathe and keep up with hygiene. It's almost been a year since I've started my recovery and I've been doing pretty good mentally wise, but I still struggle with basic tasks like brushing my teeth. They also tend to romanticize depression on Tumblr as something that "needs to be fixed." When in most cases all a romantic relationship does for us is give us a little boost. After that relationship we tend to fall right back into the patterns we struggle with. My depression stemmed from a lack of companionship, which in turn doesn't help since my autism makes it incredibly difficult to interact with strangers. Most of the friends I made were made because they approached me first or an outside force grouped us together, like a teacher grouping us for a project. Depression also has some studies that show it makes our memories blurry and make us forgetful.
These kids think they are disordered because some days they want to dress in a different style. Same thing happens with "non binary."
@@sofialovesmonkeys one of my friends from the psych ward has a an alter who tries to kill others that alter is a buding psychopath and its honestly disturbing that people are glamorizing these disorders
same. my ex was someone who faked having DID for clout and i called them out incessantly. i *know* what DID looks like from an outside perspective, my mother and aunt are professionally diagnosed. these people are not it and i do not know why they want to have it to begin with. it's disgusting and offensive. the suffering i was put through at the hands of my mother and the sheer terror i experienced everyday as a child...it seriously pisses me off people seemingly want this disorder
Having been diagnosed with a few things that are typically used as a way to get views it’s not fun having to deal with people assuming I’m faking. Seeing it has also caused an imposter syndrome effect because “what if I’ve managed to fake it so well I got a diagnosis”
I’ve felt this way before about my ADHD. My therapist said that sense of self awareness means you’re deeeeeefinitely not faking it lol.
Omg I swear that last part is so relatable. Before anybody took me seriously, I went to the mental hospital begging for help because I didn’t have any insurance and had been so burnt out from working 16 hours a day I couldn’t get up anymore. the first woman I talked to told me I couldn’t possibly be autistic because I had ‘good eye contact.’ Lastly, I am so sorry you are going through this. Sending you peace and healing through your struggles. someday will be brighter.
That you're open to considering the possibility should be sufficient enough for you to realise that you didn't. Putting that possibility out there could draw attention from the wrong people, people who could expose a faker.
Yesss! I'm literally awake at night like ''God I might be a monster.'' and my OCD is like ''👀👀👀👀. Bro, you could be on to somthing...''.
@@maebholeary2734 literally, i'll have to go to the bathroom and check to see that my house door is locked 4 times (1 more time for the reassurance) so my family doesn't get mugged for the 30 seconds i'm gonna be in the bathroom.. and then lay in bed afterwards thinking "maybe i was faking my thoughts lol how funny"
I'm a year late, but all I'm gonna say is that a perfect example of what true (and severe) Tourette is really is Evie aka ThisTrippyHippie. Her Tourette was mild but it has been growing. She documments the bad days too where her whole body freezes and it's really sad seeing her after a bad day because her tics were so violent she hit herself and has bruises all over her face and so on. It's really scary and I HATE how people fake it because "it's quirky!" Man, I have some diagnosed mental shit that makes me dissociate and even that sometimes is scary because you feel you have no control over your body, imagine feeling that while your own body is the one hurting itself
Interestingly enough it seems like many of the people faking tourettes in particular copy her tics. Obviously there's going to be some tic overlaps in actual cases, but many of the people who are later exposed for faking have tic accents, whistle-clicks, the 'wow', specific head movements and a couple other phrases/sounds that are suspiciously similar to Evie's
I’m really sick of my mental disorders being used for attention or as an aesthetic. Having to fight my mind everyday isn’t “fun or quirky”. It’s important to bring awareness to mental illnesses but they make it seem as something they can swap and change depending on what they want.
Ikr, I'm dyslexic with ADHD and I agree with you, and I just have to say people in special Ed don't really want to admit they're in special Ed in regular everyday life for the fear of bullied much less online in front like the whole world
Genuinely. I have to ask my friends if what I’m feeling is accurate to the situation or if I’m overreacting, it drives me crazy that I can’t tell if my emotions are correct to the situation. It’s not a fun thing to feel like you’re losing your mind constantly and having to somewhat rely on others to help tell if it’s “correct” to the situation
Same ... and tbh anyone who wants my disorder 🙃 is seriously messed up I'd literally cut my illness out of me with a blunt knife if that was an option..... what has this world come to...
I do have anxiety
Omg
Honestly I don’t understand how people don’t even feel a bit embarrassed to start faking this
They really should.
Things like this make it so much harder for people who actually have these problems.
As someone with bpd, it absolutely enrages me when someone self diagnoses (takes away our story, our battle that we fought so long and hard for, fighting ourselves daily, wondering what’s wrong with us, begging for closure) because it’s such a complex disorder and self diagnosis is just a massive trigger for me, same with people relating when the video isn’t made for them (“I don’t have bpd but I relate🥺”, like NO, this is our safe space, somewhere we can relate and be understood in OUR community, NOT YOU!) which will cause an outburst in rage. Self diagnosis has never been valid when it comes to BPD, my own psychiatrist said that it is impossible to self diagnose and has to be done professionally. It’s so easy to spot when somebody is self diagnosing because of their lack of knowledge and stereotyping. I can’t stand the people who use bpd as a trend or romanticise it, it is eternal hell and controls my whole life and ruins so many things/relationships. I’d give up limbs to not have it and bipolar. I’ll never understand this insensitive and disrespectful generation! TikTok is so toxic! I also have tics and seizures so when people fake them, not only does it make me mad but it absolutely baffles me, why anyone would want to go through the sometimes painful, often embarrassing, draining and vulnerable lifestyle. I would do anything to be “normal”.
I’ve been bored before, but never bored enough to start a tiktok account raising awareness for an illness I don’t have but want people to think I do
as someone who dissociates severely (several hours throughout the day) it is extremely draining youre right. sometimes i can have a good day and not dissociate very much but other days i will forget the entire day because of how stressed i was. losing whole days to not being able to handle my surroundings is extremely frustrating because i just want to live. watching people fake dissociative disorders makes me extremely angry. i just… knowing that their mind isnt fogged all the time and theyre faking it for attention where i cant even force a clear thought sometimes idk man it hurts cause all ive ever wanted was to be like that.
Yes I know exactly how you feel. I don't have DID but I have an anxiety disorder that causes me to dissociate and have panic attacks. It took me years to even figure out what was happening because I thought it was normal. It wasn't until it progressed that I noticed what was going on. It's extremely distressing though. I'm not sure if it's how DID ppl feel when they are changing alters. But I would imagine that's scary as hell to be locked in your body while another part of you is taking over essentially. Anyway, I know that was rambly but I sympathize.
I'm so sorry. I had a friend with d.i.d. and I wouldt wish that on anyone. Sadly she took her own life about 15 years ago when she was only in her 50s.
@@brianas5624 I'm so sorry for your loss.
Exactly, I've lost my entire childhood memories and I'm starting to have trouble remembering what happened yesterday from dissociating and it's so infuriating that there could be some people who want to make that up for attention. Glad to have someone to relate to- :)
I don’t have DID but I have autism and ADHD except the difference is I rarely spontaneously dissociate and I can control it. A lot of people call disociation a curse but if you can harness it you can use it to get rid of boredom and do things that you can never do in real life. It’s normal for healthy people with no mental disorder to dissociate as daydreaming and getting lost in books and movies are also dissociation. Only becomes a problem when you can’t control it and it starts getting in the way of your life. When I was younger and even occasionally now I purposely detach myself from reality so I can go do whatever I want in my head while having no awareness of my body or anything around me.
I have diagnosed D.I.D. Its debilitating, downright miserable most of the time. I cannot fathom why people fake this. I can barely live my life normally without intensive therapy and multiple medications, its horrible. Screw these people.
As someone who actually suffers & struggles with mental illness , this is just disgusting.
As someone with ASD type 1 thank you for speaking on this! It's disgusting behavior to make fun of mental illness and disorders. I for one don't like being made fun of. Please don't make light of our suffering.
🙏🐢
I'm on the spectrum as well, but unsure which type I am. The system here in Norway is pretty outdated, and I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, though I'm not really that functioning, and struggling a lot being overwhelmed often by sensory input and socializing (aka a lot of meltdowns and low energy days). I totally agree with you though, making light of these types of disorders are disrespectful and disgusting. It's hard enough to be believed by doctors, now we gotta put up with everyone else not believing us as well... (I wasn't really believed by my friends at first when I first told them about my suspicions about being on the spectrum, and was diagnosed as late as last December, being 30 years old)
@@Korishiva norway still gives the asperger diagnosis? i know they still did it when i got diagnosed 5 years ago but they still do? i just prefer calling myself autistic, there is no such thing as "high-functioning" imo
Hi there! I’m actually writing a research paper on this topic but I’m having trouble with peer reviewed articles because it’s so new. Any recommendations?
I just got my diagnosis a month ago (it's been officially a month being diagnosed as of writing this). I spent years being pushed under the rug by professionals because I was "too social" despite never having a social life because of how I can mask while I communicate. Even though my family knew that I was autistic before I could even speak due to how I was behaving, it took until I was an adult to get a fair shot at a diagnosis due to the stigma against women and autism. I absolutely "self-diagnosed" before I got my diagnosis as I had to realize my neurodiversity without the help of doctors (despite being seen by numerous child therapists). When people self-diagnose without fully considering what it means, it feels so insulting to me as someone who was consistently gaslit about my experience with the spectrum. Self-diagnosis CAN be valid when it is accompanied by research and intensive self-reflection, but TikTok seems filled with people who think it is an instant process. The people who do this just make the lives of autistic people who have valid self-diagnoses more difficult than it already is.
The second person, who faked autism, made me really mad. My best friend has autism and adhd and it infuriates me how people just fake these serious illnesses. Im so mad.
I'm neurodivergent and it's just... so frustrating seeing these people make light of our situation and acting like all it is is being 'quirky' and 'weird'. I've gone through irreparable trauma because I can't properly communicate things. I've had meltdowns and hit myself for being too 'slow' with things that my peers were able to do/finish immediately. My self worth is still terrible to this day. I'm only able to be productive one day every two to three weeks. But I still power through it all no matter how painful it is. I'm scared of getting a job because I know that one day everything is going to be too much and they'll fire me on the spot for it. They're making such a huge joke out of us, and I hope that when all of these idiots grow up they live the rest of their lives regretting everything they did to frustrate us and cause us to be even more misunderstood than we already are.
Especially the DID videos. I have an aunt that has a degree in psychology and has worked in that field for more than 30 years and she has said that it is really hard to determine whether someone really has DID or something else. DID is s very complicated and under researched thing as is a lot of rare mental disorders. Psychology field is constantly growing and evolving, that’s why I want to go into that field to help people and help educate people properly.
Why did I laugh when you said "did"? 😂 But, on a serious note, this legit kept me awake one night wondering why people think mental illness/disorder is fun/quirky. Dude, I'd love to NOT have things like ED, CPTSD, anxiety and depression. To the point I tried to convince multiple therapists that I do not have depression. If they can fake it, can I have permission to undiagnose myself? Cos, ya know, apparently we CHOOSE to have these problems.
Lmao it cracked me up when he said "did" too
Omfg sweetheart u r fluffing brilliant. My depression/anxiety/ptsd bullpoops ruined my life. 20 years is enough. Im *OFFICIALLY* undiagnosing myself from hence ye moment forth. Also any of my behaviors because of this is not mine i do not claim them so u can't link me to them. Also also dont forget! Throw open that windown and let out that stagnant energy.
I’ve literally joked about this so much. I’ll be like you know what fuck it, I no longer want this I’m undiagnosing myself lol. What I would give to be able to just undiagnose myself and not have to deal with this shit anymore
Question: what is CPTSD? I never heard about it before
@@karenwantsmanager complex ptsd. Instead of one traumatic event causing it, it's a long period of continued trauma that causes it.
Ive dealt with Autism & ADHD my whole 21 years and let’s just say I stim, I flap and can and cannot tolerate certain emotions, environments and everything but these fakers seriously don’t know the loniness I’ve endured, the hardship with what I wanted to say but couldn’t properly nor know how to communicate & the bullies & abuse/assault I’ve been through & my parents and I fighting to get justice and have others include me. It’s one thing to get to know a community of people with mental illnesses & neuro developmental disorders. It’s another thing to watch videos, look up and ask Dr Google about these disorders and then fake them for views and clout. Rep and Mimi thank You for shedding light on this cringe trend that seems to still keep going & as a result this ablises the stereotypes of certain people living with these debilitating disorders and hurts all of us that have been diagnosed and who have undergone and are still receiving our treatments to at least stabilize our quality of life or the current situation of our disabilities
Sending you lots of love, I wish you didn’t have to endure this. I’m a mother to a little boy who’s ASD and it makes me so mad to see people fake it
I am actively seeking out therapy and screenings in order to see if I have certain mental illnesses. It really does make the process harder when people fake disorders for attention.

As someone with Tourette’s, one of the easiest ways to tell someone is faking it is their reaction to their tics. No one I’ve met with Tourette’s is happy about their tics. Some of us have tics that cause physical pain and possible injury. For example, I have a throat clearing tic. Sometimes it gets so bad that my throat becomes raw and I still can’t stop and it hurts like hell. I also have a gasping tic where I raise my head up. I have bonked my head into a wall multiple times doing this. I’ve said “fuckin hell” out of anger after this tic so many times I worry about it becoming a separate tic. People have asked me if I’m okay, if I need water, said I sounded like I was gasping, etc. I’ve seen others that are laughed at for their tics and it enrages me. Tourette’s is not fun or quirky. It’s a disorder that affects the way you live in ways that are mostly negative. Tourette’s is a medical exemption from going to court in person. Thankfully tics would not get someone charged with contempt of court, but that doesn’t make up for the shit people with them have to deal with. I’ve heard of horrible experiences people have had to go through because of this disorder. You don’t want Tourette’s. Get attention someplace else.
Is it bad if I laugh with my friends after a funny one? Like sometimes I'll end up wiggling my fingers going, "Tickle tickle" and we ended up laughing about it, because it was just so random at that moment. It didn't hurt so, I found it funny. I personally hate my tics especially the ones that hurt me or others. But since I don't do too too much research into the negatives and positives, I guess I just want to hear from someone else who has it. Is it okay too laugh at ones like those? The ones that don't hurt I mean. Sorry this was wordy and just out of the blue, I now just found this video.
I teared up reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Tourettes. :( I'm so sorry bro 💖
I don't have tourretes, but I have a throat clearing tic (also a coughing one). I feel your pain.
I also feel like we rarely actually even react to most of our tics (at least in my experience) I ignore them most of the time unless they are absolutely hilarious or really painful. Like laughing or commenting on every tic is just so unrealistic, not sure if others feel the same way but I’m my experience that’s kinda what I’m like 😂.
@@Akiscray7777it’s completely down to the person, for example I am happy for people to laugh when I’m laughing too. Tbh the only rule I have really is if I’m visibly in pain or in some form of discomfort (physically or emotionally) then you don’t laugh (which none of my mates would anyway). So I’d suggest having a convo with your friend to see how she feels about what the best way to react to their tics is. Hope that helps 😊.
This always bugs me. The fact that they say they have the illnesses, then people find out they fake it and no one believes those anymore that actually do have those illnesses 😮💨
Feeling low and your head pats cheered me up. Thank you
Faking a mental illness is bad enough, pretending that it’s some fun, quirky thing you can have and discard when it no longer interests you is even worse. But adding an entire layer to this is that DID is a reaction that the mind has to protect itself to extreme levels of abuse. Imagine surviving something that most of us will never be able to comprehend, suffering every day with the consequences of that, and what you needed to do to stay alive, then getting onto tik tok to see some twit mocking it and making it a joke.
Hi, I have Tourette’s. I could help but notice how you mentioned “that’s not how tics are” and so on. Some of the tics shown are tics that can come. It’s a really interesting syndrome because everyone is so different, also stopping before having a tic, can be the person trying to hold back or distract the tic so it doesn’t get too bad. That is a form of Tourette’s “therapy”. It’s teaching how to lead a tic to be less harmful for safety. Loved the video, thank you for calling people out for being dishonest (No hate, just informing from someone who has it😁)
“I don’t think you’re ringing that bell right.” That statement covered it. Lol! Great video. This illness faker thing boggles my brain.
I'd personally love to see a deep-dive regarding "jessie and james / twosoulsonebody", especially the discord and OF side where minors are seeing inappropriate messages/content. A series over time exposing these kinds of people and actually helping those with mental illness as well as minors would be dope af. I also think this mental illness unique personality formation curiously lines up almost exactly with what anti-lgbtqia+ are saying about us- I cannot help but think it's a misunderstood relation/correlation.
I’m not sure if you saw it, but he did a video on J/J :)
As somebody with mental/physical illnesses, this hurts me so much. Having a disability is NOT fun. It makes it harder to get a job or keeping a job-
You mean we arent quirky, fun nor cool. Well, cool maybe but I gave bpd and ill give it to anyone
i love that you are being really respectful about this and getting this information out there, i havent seen any of your other videos but id thought id mention, i love your hair
Having a mental illness is actually quite terrifying. A lot of people who know me irl don't know what I go through. I refuse to tell employers because I don't want them to not hire me. I am ashamed of it and it's disgusting seeing people pretend to be sick, when all I want is to be well.
Glad more people are calling this out
It's hilarious that you never see anyone faking Munchausen syndrome. And it's strange because they all have it 🤣 As someone who actually has severe cptsd it really bothers me that the word trigger has been used so much and how so many people claim to have PTSD but don't realize that in order for that diagnosis it has to be debilitating your life. Do they have post-traumatic stress? Undoubtedly. Do they have disorderly post-traumatic stress? Probably not. Do they pitch a fever when they get triggered? Get cold sore outbreaks? Shiver uncontrollably and have manic like episodes?
Duddddde. You don't even know how much I feel this comment. God, it's actually comforting to find a space online with people discussing the REALITY of mental health issues.
Also, I thought the spiking a fever thing was really weird, and now I feel a little better about it.

you're welcome! i plan to talk more about it as i educate myself in all of these illnesses.
Your soul trying to flee your body when "jessie and james" kissed was too much of a mood
as someone with a social anxiety disorder it pisses me off to see so many people claim they have it without a diagnosis, like it's fun and quirky. I can barely talk to my family, I dropped out of school, and I can barely get a job, It's hard to do normal daily activities that involve social interactions such as going to the store
I spend most of my days trying to hide my mental health disorders, I highly doubt anyone would genuinely want to share theirs for views and clout without first seeking treatment.
I'm still at the first "case" of the video and I am already absolutely disgusted about how low people go just for likes and views. Call them out! And then finish them.
Just wanna end the stigmation; We have DID, we were diagnosed with it 5 years ago, and are currently trying our best to recover from it. Non-Human alters DO exist; they are formed after dehumanizing trauma, where a parental figure could do things for example, when a child is put in a cage or, chained up, its a real thing which can cause an alter to form with non-human features (in headspace , which is false memories) leading the alter to believe they are not human. Next Introjects/Fictives do exist as well, but its not like how these fakers like to make it to be. When the brain latches onto someone or something, it can copy that character and make that character split after a trauma, the character is usually either an abuser or a comfort character. IT IS NOT A WAY TO HAVE YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW CHARACTER IN YOUR HEAD, negative introjects form also, introjects you dont want. Also INTROJECTS ARE NOT THEIR SOURCE. They always treat the introject as though if they are a complete photo copy of the source. Next; THIS DISORDER IS SHIT, STOP STIGMATIZING IT AND ROMANTICIZING IT, THANKS.
thank you ! did is strange to most NT people so they chalk up all the strange aspects of it to fakers. its rly disheartening to watch youtubers overstep their place in reporting on fakers by spreading harmful misinformation. fictives and non-human alters are very real, just decently rare. we shouldn't discredit anyone for having a fictive or nonhuman alter.
in other news i wish you guys the best in recovery and i hope y'all are able to meet your treatment goals :) im in recovery too for different disorders

We are an OSDD system.

As someone who has been scrutinized, harassed, been to hospitals, & been cut off for having episodes from diagnosed illness.. I will never understand why ppl want this
as someone with BPD (borderline) as well as PTSD (medicated) i couldn’t imagine someone wanting to fake anything like this, it is immensely painful mentally and physically, which i’ve been in and out of hospital for. They make a joke out of those who genuinely strive to get the help and needed the help. It took me YEARS of abuse and closing myself off to get the help i needed and i would NEVER have the strength to glamorize it online. smh.
My friend who has DID from an abuse response is absolutely disgusted by the amount of people that fake it now days
I have a pretty intense mental illness that is pretty negatively stigmatized, and I would hate to see people fake this and make it look like it's quirky and fun. Because it isn't. I hope people cut this shit out, for the people that have the illnesses they are faking. Because at this point it's almost like they are mocking the real struggles people have.

@@SamIAmWich im always holding back. It would be so easy to just let go. Might go to an out of the way place and do it one day
@@winchestersons6258 I get the feeling we're both going through very different things. I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but there are reasons to stay, and even when it gets hard, it eventually gets easier again. Please reach out to a helpline or counselor, if you can. Unfortunately I'm not qualified to help in these situations
@@SamIAmWich im getting help. Actually im doing well, it is just in the back of my head all the time. Not to hurt myself. Just to break things. Not people though. Just things
I was diagnosed with BPD little over a year ago and the thought of someone faking it for clout, makes me sick. Living with this is genuinely hard. No one should fake a mental illness. They have no idea what we actually go through.
As someone with tics (trying to get a professional diagnosis as of rn) it’s extremely annoying to see people faking. Although I tend to have more ‘motor’ tics (physical tics), I occasionally have vocal ones, and get so many weird stares from peers. Sometimes it’s hard to stop them from happening and even hurts when I try to not tic! These kinds of people who fake tics make me so mad… and watching those videos makes me uncontrollably tic too. + Sometimes I can go hours without a tic, and sometimes, they just seem never ending… It’s like a double edged sword
Not even a second into this video the title has grabbed my attention because I find it Disrespectful as one who deals with ADHD just insane to me that people would stoop that low...
It is really sad…because I go through this stuff as an adhder everyday. I find it disgusting really how people will do this.
Me too. ADHD is absolutely exhausting
I have anxiety tics, and I can’t explain the amount of dirty looks I get from people who don’t understand.
Thank you for uploading this video, I've sent this to someone
thank you! this is. so important
It’s extra hard for us with actual disorders (I’m 20 and have had an official autism diagnosis since I was 16) and whenever I talk about my issues i get accused of faking. It’s just disgusting how this happens now. Also thank you for being so respectful when talking about this subject
I'd like to clarify that DID doesn't develop at any age, same with OSDD. It occurs from repeated childhood trauma. You don't develop it later in life. You develop it in early childhood but a lot of ppl don't realise they have it till later in life. Alters within a system can have a range of relationships between each other. I think its disgusting that ppl are faking these things. On the topic of tourettes, my gf has tourettes and it can be really disabling at times. Why anyone would wanna fake any of these things is beyond me
could DID develop after severe trauma in adolescence or adulthood? or will it only develop if severe trauma happens in childhood?
@@cronchybo Usually before 8 years old, before the personality can begin to form. The trauma makes the brain unable to cope with the memories and emotions and so it "fractures" itself, thus creating all those personalities. But it gets diagnosed later in life(late teen/adult) because the personality gets fully formed.
THANK you for the head pat at the end! LOL! That was new to me! You are quirky and fun! :)
I've known people with DID. What triggered the disorder was trauma. Most of them have alters that are young children and adolescents. It's really sad to see.
I think I might have DID because I have a lot of childhood trauma my mom also thinks I have it but I never say I have that stuff and I will not until I get fully diagnosed
As someone with diagnosed did, the whole did “trend” on tiktok did affect me negatively cuz now there’s people both online AND in real life that don’t want to take my mental disorder seriously, there’s also a lot of bullying because of it.
a person named :lu poggiez: with an anime/manga pfp has did.... wow, reminds me of a certain group of people/
You don't have it. Most professionals don't even think it's real.
@@zevvxn Literally been studied for over 70 years with so few cases it's can't be put into the book. That is how rare it is. That's why most psychologist's don't believe it.
@@SK-ut6tw DID and OSDD are actually in the DSM-V though? So they are in the book?
@@ajay393 They have to put it in the dsm because there have been "cases" however it's still highly disputed whether or not it even does exist.
Thank you!! I've been waiting for you to speak on this. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 I have a son with autism, and this makes me FURIOUS.
You are so welcome
I have autism and anxiety
As someone who is actually diagnosed with depression, anxiety, Tourette’s and BPD, it hurts seeing these people fake all of these. It is a struggle just to live some days, and then to see these disorders essentially being role-played sucks sm.
The worst thing is when someone is scared and they say "omg I'm such an anxious person, I have horrible anxiety" my anxiety sent me home from school today because I couldn't breathe. I thought I was dying
This is hard for me because I have been adult diagnosed with ADD and possible ASD but because so many people fake this people do not take me seriously. That's hard for me and others who want to be taken seriously.
Exactly. This. I was afraid to tell people my diagnosis because of this trend of self diagnosis, thinking they’d accuse me of trying to get attention. Being ASD type 1 already leads a lot of people to look at you and go, but you don’t act autistic.
It’s because of these people I’ve started blocking people on tiktok that have did or system in their bio. Can’t stand it.
Same and I feel bad for those with did for real who are not taken seriously
ik this is a year ago but , has a person who has DID , and was accused of faking it because of types of people like this it hurts my feelings to see this happen over and over again
I just want to say that I love❤ watching your channel and that you are so thorough about what you're talkin about not just speculating
This has been happening with OCD for decades now. I constantly live under the stigma that undiagnosed people often make
OCD is a living hell since i'm 8. This disorder is so misunderstood it's infuriating.
The worst mental illness someone could possibly fake is dissative identity disorder. Those ppl have been thru such absolute and unimaginable hell that they have different personalities (or alters) just to try and protect themselves. They deserve nothing but kindness and love and ppl run around claiming to have it for attention and clout. It makes me physically sick to think about ppl monetizing a disorder caused by such extreme trauma
Thank you so much for writing this!!! I have DID. I’m 57 years old, and I have YEARS that are a blank canvas. I don’t always have control of the steering wheel, per-say, but, at least I’m at a point where most of us cooperate so that we can function in almost a normal way around family, friends, and part time jobs. If any of these young people faking could be in my head with what we went through, they really couldn’t handle it!!!!
Faking shit like PTSD is absolutely insane to me, i cant believe someonr would WANT the flashbacks, the panic attacks, loosing parts of your memory, remembering things that didnt happen/remembering things wrong, physical illness due to stress, your body reacting to small amounts/normal stress in a way that makes you feel like the world is about to end. Its absolutely terrifying having something like PTSD and i cannot believe people actually pretend to have it
People will do and say whatever to get attention or to take the easy way out. I suffer from chronic migraine and when my peers found out that I get extra time to complete assignments when I'm absent and I can leave class whenever to go sit in a dark room, they took full advantage. It didn't mess with me because I had the documents to prove it and I've been dealing with migraines since I was 7, but many kids who did have migraines or got bad headaches had to jump through hoops just so they wouldn't fail school or get sick.
Hey Rep! Just letting you know “D.I.D.” is pronounced as each individual letter, not like the word did.(: Thank you for making this video!! Kids nowadays are living through a second, much worse ~tumblr~ era I swear
As a non-native English speaker, I didn't know this. Thanks for pointing this out /gen
he wouldn’t know cause he doesn’t care, he only made this video to make money and he literally did a single google search and went on his merry way to fakeclaim someone because of an animal alter where there’s literally books by PhD specialists in dissociative identities stating and explaining animal/non-human alters and their function in a system. he clearly has no idea what he’s talking about and this video is just as damaging as those who fake disorders for attention.
tumblr legit make freaks. I'm not one to talk, I am the queen freak.
Just reminds me of my husband's attorney. I've been in custody court quite a bit to last five years and they have tried to use my mental health multiple times. And the judge just lets him because they don't understand. However a common symptom of PTSD is auditory hallucinations. So my husband's attorney sees that listed in my file and asked me what the voices say to me. I was like I don't hear voices. He says what do you hear? I said lawn mowers in the distance mostly 😂 like I have PTSD bro not schizophrenia (not there's anything wrong with that. I think it's funny that he doesn't know what he's talking about not that hearing voices is funny)
It really bothers me!! Mental health problems are so hard to deal with it; some people can “choose “ what to fake just for attention and then we are trying to hide it even from our own family.
I actually have bpd been diagnosed with it since i was 18. Its a literal living hell nothing fun or different about it. I mean the only differences i have to deal with is the fact i dont understand myself or other people. So i cope with dbt therapy/skills and im just now getting to a somewhat of a stable place 6yrs later. It hecking sucks. 😢 But know that anyone else out there; have hope for your bpd. It can be turned around to where you can be more aware and manage better. It really takes work and patience and therapy. You also need a good support system around you and therapy. Dbt is your best friend. Any how thats all i have to say. Thank you for this video 🎉
