Hey,
This is my first post. I am looking for other survivors of MBPS who can tell me bout the effects it has had on them. I was a childhood victim. I guess it was pretty serious. I was hospitilized for bout 3 years and had 15 major ops. Was placed in foster care. Now well the effects seem to be attachment disorder, borderline, PTSD, anxiety and depression. So fun times ahead in the dealing. ...

Hi

I've been diagnosed with Depression and Cluster B and C Personality Disorder Traits and am receiving Schema Therapy and general CBT. I'm starting to wonder whether I actually have Munchausen's Syndrome. I'll give a little background:

Born in 1981 and around 1983 my doctor discovered I had Hypospadias and required surgery, had several surgeries (to date 9 for Hypospadias). Around about aged 5 at nursery school I started biting my arms and making myself ...

Hi,Im absolutely certain that my best(and only)friend has this disorder.She also involves her kids.Both by saying they have serious illnesses and by guilt tripping them about hers.She is just about to tell them that she is going to end up in a wheelchair...
Its been going on for 5yrs (that I know about).
How do other people deal with this without losing a friend? :(

I'm hypochondriac for really believing I'm Munchhausen?

that makes me confuse.

I'm glad I found this site, I needed it.

I am sad, mad and lost. I don't know what to do.
I feel like I should feel some really intense pain to pay for what I've been doing.

I don't wanna die.

My mother in law is in her mid-eighties. She's displayed factitous disorder behavior, if not outright Munchausen's Syndrome, for decades. Of course, this means that there is no end to stories to tell about things she's done to herself. Most recently, she's had real diseases to contend with, including heart disease, congestive heart failure, a stroke, and now some mild dementia. The dementia is enough to lead my husband, who is an only child, to ...
