Hey everyone!
This is my first post here and basically it's a last straw thing. I'll try and keep it as short as possible and not ramble.
Ok. My step dad, has Munchausen's without a doubt, I'll name a few just to get the feel of it: schizophrenia, bipolar, fibromyalgia, most muscle problems, spine damage demanding crutches, diabetes, "life threatening surgeries" without surgery, suicide attempts without attempt (I'm not sure how to even word that ...

Hello dear All,

This is my first post. To be clear, I belong to the legal profession and reside in Cyprus. What I am about to write is the story of what I have been going through the past 10 months. The story does not contain a single lie. Please bear with me and I will appreciate all answers to my story as I am in need of help and advise on how to handle ...

Are there any specialists in UK that you can go to for treatment?
Thank you

It's been five years. I still do this and it gets worse. In my opinion munchausen syndrome is a chronic spectrum disorder, that gets worse as time progresses. It's just not fun anymore, and I feel so paranoid. I used to be so smart, I knew everything about my fake illnesses but now I can't remember any of it, i just keep pressing on without knowing any of my $#%^ and I just don't know ...

Hey. My name is Rei. This post could be extremely triggering.

Look I'm gonna cut to the chase on this; I want to be sick. I would give anything to contract a serious illness. Even a crippling one. Even a terminal one. If I were to notice symptoms of something serious, I would keep as quiet as possible until it's so bad I have to be hospitalized. I have dreams and fantasies of walking ...

Hello, everyone.

I'm kind of in a mess right now, and I would like some help in getting to grips with what happened to me.

It's been 5 years, roughly, that the term Münchhausen by proxy rings in my head. A friend of mine is the first who voiced it to me, after I explained to him what I went through. The description "feels" right, could be argued to fit symptoms to some extent, but ...

Is my husband's self and doctor manipulated harm intentional or just the result of rigid thinking and severe OCD?

My retired husband for ten years now seems to have reached the point of doctor manipulated self harm on top of his own self harm. A year into our relationship he seemed to suffer from ulcerative colitis and yet not stop severely overeating. A colonoscopy validated his UC. He has admitted to his overeating problem, but ...

My daughter is now 18, and has been "sick" at different times for almost 3 years now. She started throwing up once in a while and when I asked what was wrong, she "didn't know," and thought she may have been over heating, which I didn't deem strange because I am sensitive to being overheated and get sick as well. This started occurring more often, and I finally decided it was time to present this ...
