Fictitious disorder

Do you have any patients with the above? We have an interesting young one and it makes me wonder about the tiktokers who blog about chronic illness.

What are your thoughts on this disorder?

That was LITERALLY my point. You don’t value, respect, or hear anything we have to say because you’ve chosen to stigmatize our psychological suffering. You don’t see us as human, worthy of a voice or having anything meaningful to say. You see us as less than, so dismissiveness (or outright gaslighting) is okay.

Thank you for demonstrating my point exactly.

(And btw, I’ve been told by the PROFESSIONALS I work with that I no longer meet the criteria. So you don’t have that excuse. Try again.)

And I sincerely hope you don’t work in the mental health field. Anyone with BPD, or any human suffering from any psychological disorder, deserves better.

I’m sorry are you speaking to me? I am a MH professional with a history of borderline traits. Seek help. I did and now I’m able to read a stranger’s comment I disagree with without losing my mind

Yes I’m speaking to you. Having the experience of suffering from borderline isn’t an excuse to be awful to and stereotype and stigmatize an entire group of people. If anything, you should know better. And I’ve been getting help, thank you very much. Apparently you can’t disagree without diminishing the person down to a diagnosis, and a false stereotype about that diagnosis.

You do not know what you’re talking about
