News of Factitious Disorders

I think I have Munchausen. I've been doing a lot of researching lately, trying to understand myself and my relationship with my mother. And I've realized that I have a lot of symptoms of this, along with many narcissistic traits.

I've been like this for as long as I can remember. I remember being very young (maybe 6 or 7) and getting into a fight with my big sister. Dad yelled at me and sent ...

I've made a resolution to be a better person in the future. That is all that I can do now. But there's still one problem left to get rid of.

What I'm going to say right now is going to offend a lot of you. I feel envious of those who have had a rough past. This includes abuse, death of a parent, etc. I'm such a messed up person, and I have symptoms of ...

I'm new here but thought this would be the perfect place to ask some questions about some of my mom's behavior. It's been going on for as long as I can remember but she's living with us now so I guess that's why it's affecting me more now. She recently, a few months ago, was taken off around three or four very strong narcotics due to a shortage of Fentanyl patches when she went for ...

I just had a dream last night, where my brother died of cancer. Then I woke up. I cannot believe myself. I made a promise with my mom that I would not commit suicide. There's no way out of this hellhole.

I have to live with the guilt. It is ME who has to ask "why is HE alive?" I'M the one who has to bear all this #######4, and do you know why? Because ...

I've finally done it...I've self-diagnosed myself with Munchausen's. Although I am a kind and friendly person NOW, in grade 5, I faked being suicidal, before really becoming suicidal. I also tried faking OCD, and now, look at me, I have severe OCD. Even nowadays, I sometimes fantasize about people feeling sorry for me for some fictional loss I will endure.

But now, I want to find out WHY I have it. I've noticed that many ...

Hi all.
First of all, you should read my intro post. I'll link it when it's approved.
I don't have a "real" diagnosis of BPD and Cyclothymia, but my father who is a physician told me I'm right when I commented him my "auto-diagnosis". This thread isn't made to discuss that, though.
Sometimes, I tell myself I have a disorder. Not like if I was hypochondriac, I sometimes think I might have cancer of X ...

Hi everyone. I am sixteen and I live with my parents. My mom has Munchausens (along with Narcissitic, split personality, and bipolar disorder) and living with her is very difficult. She has told me she hates me on numerous occasions and we cannot have a civil conversation without her screaming at me. I am very patient, because she does not know she has these diseases. However, having to cater to her fictitious illnesses is very ...

Hi. I think i may have this disorder. I'm too afraid to go to any doctor about it afraid of what he or she might think or do with me. Also i won't tell anybody i know. Especially my parents. I always remember as a kid faking injuries like wrapping my arm/foot and pretending i had gotten hurt so i could limp around at school. and one time i even got to use crutches in ...

to have Factitious Disorder?

I'm pretty straight up and truthful to people. I don't go out of my way to be funny (i'm really serious in how I act), but could I have it?

Are there any online tests I can take?
thanks.

I actually have no idea where to post this, but I've always had a craving for attention (didn't get enough from my parents when I was a child) as a child being influenced by a friend to fake injuries (that didn't come from me though, I just copied what she did). over the years I found myself seeking attention by wanting bad things to happen. I don't "fake" anything per se, but I want bad ...
