I have only one word to say: Disgusting

Making fun of disorders and illness for clout is literally so disgusting

A person with tics here! The narrator said that “they would post videos where they wouldn’t tic” a lot of people with tics/Tourette’s can go days, weeks, even a few months without ticing, depending on how they’re feeling and what’s going on in their life, especially if their tics are stress or anxiety induced (like mine). It IS possible that ticsandroses would record videos when they weren’t ticing and post those on the second account (I’m in no way saying they DO have tics, just if they did have tics, and for future reference), quite a few context creators actually with tics/Tourette’s do this. Just wanted to make more people aware this is a thing

I have deleted Tik Tok for this reason. I have seen so many people fake Autism and claiming that self diagnosis is valid, and as someone who is autistic, it made me so angry and hurt. You cannot diagnose yourself with anything, especially not with things like ASD. These people don’t know the harm they are doing to actual Autistic people.

Tics is Such a bad thing to joke about imagine joking about a syndrome that people suffer about

As someone with autism, I want the people who are faking these disorders to have to deal with them for a day, and see how people would treat them then

I'm a 12 year old with tics, and seeing this is BS! I hate my tics! They can be SO SO painful and embrassing!! People like this NEED TO STOP

As someone with DID it's hilarious to see how bad some people fake DID. But yes it does also add stigma and spreads false information.

As someone with Tourettes, I'd like to see people who fake them deal with ACTUALLY having them for a day

Thats Just Messed Up🤦🏻‍♀

Thank you Anna for covering this. People need to realize how disgusting this is! As someone with mental disorders, Autism and schizophrenia, it makes me angry to see people faking having these disorders! It’s like they are mocking people with disorders. My disorders have been a curse and I’ve always wished I could live a normal life.

I have ADD and people who “wish they had it” or pretend to have it, I will trade with you any day. My medication makes me lose and gain weight spontaneously, small bits at a time to the point where it’s unhealthy. And if I stop taking it, I get overstimulated and have incredible panic attacks. I also have tics due to this, where I hurt or embarrass myself regular.

Tics are not a joke they are seriously painful!

Why do people think it's quirky to fake tics and ED... 😕✋🏻

It’s terrible how far this came many people out there are actually suffering by disorders but many people are pretending to have it for clout like they

As a person with tourette's, it is really disgusting to see people fake it on videos like that. It is not a joke and it is not fun. Faking tourette's on videos just for views is just awful. Then laughing about it? That is just showing others that people with tourette's (that actually suffer from it like myself), are probably faking it which they don't! It is hard. I have had tourette's syndrome since I was 12 years old, which got worse to the point that I have fallen down stairs and gotten seriously injured by ticcing. And do you really think yelling "I have covid 19" at school and in the stores is funny? It's embarrassing and sometimes can cause you to have other troubles like being kicked out of stores, the cinema, etc. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I hope that ticsandroses gets themselves straightened out. And if you are reading this and are faking tourette's for attention, I hope you get some help or guidance.

As a person who's cousin has tics, I'm seriously so pissed about these kinds of people, having tics is actually very difficult to live with, my cousin keeps saying the he'll sacrifice anything just to get rid of his tics, he has broken his arm twice because of tics, faking tics is not cool, and you'll not become famous of it, so stop.

As a person with ADHD I didn't know people fake having it honestly it would be something really hard to fake because there's so much more to it than just "being hyper".( I also have dyslexia, but grammarly helps out with that. 😊) Edit: i haven't been on this acount for three months and i would just like to say that i had autism from ages 1-5 and it hasn't seemed to be that obvious and my family and doctors are noticing that I'm showing signs of autism i will update y'all soon, also thank you for all the likes, edit: bro wtf, autism doesnt just go away idk why i said that, anyways turns out i never had autism just fllaming hot bpd lol, also i would like to clerify im not the one with dyslexia thats my friend we share this acc

As a friend of somebody with autism, It can be annoying for the person to deal with tics as I know since I am with them often, And it’s horrible to see people doing this! So if you are one of those people, Shame on you.

"When you think life is low, shit can always get lower"

As someone who actually suffers with adhd and anxiety, this is disgusting. It’s not something to pretend to have.

Just wanna point something out. My brother has Tourette’s and he doesn’t hurt himself. Not everyone hurts themselves Btw. But still that’s very upsetting that they fake it. That’s rude and disrespectful.

I don't think I've seen a tic faker do the same tic twice. And they usually just add tics to seek attention and likes.

These people need to learn that having a disability isn’t “cool” or “quirky”. Many people suffer from these disorders, it’s never fun for the actual person with the disorder. In fact, it’s extremely rude and disrespectful to pretend to have a disorder and these people need to understand that.

Also a reminder: people can tic without having Tourette's syndrome Edit:how did this get so much attention, wow

Omg this is disgusting I can’t believe someone would do this. Absolutely gross

I have a tic where my head will shoot sideways randomly, and it is so painful and embarrassing. It’s something I struggle with every day. Seeing these kids/adults fake Tourette’s and thinking they’re soooo QuiRky is so infuriating!

Faking disorders is disgustingly rude to the people who actually have those disorders

This isn’t directed towards Anna or anyone but just want to clear up that tics CAN be painful, but aren’t always painful. For me, most of them are more annoying that painful, which is why it’s weird that ticsandroses laughed literally every single time. Ticking literally every day becomes exhausting, not fun and games.

I was diagnosed with tourettes in second grade. I’m afraid to post or talk to people about it because people would probably say I’m faking it. When I was diagnosed I didn’t even know what it was. I luckily have a really good supportive bestie (thanks Joce!) and she recently complimented me on how my tics are getting better and I appreciate people like that so much. She gives me hope that one day I can come over my tourettes or at least people will acknowledge I’m not faking it

I have diagnosed anxiety which can a lot of times can affect me . I get so angry when I see people faking it for clout because it affects many people worldwide . I mean I have anxiety attacks sometimes and it’s not like I can turn it on and off and sometimes part of my anxiety effects my social cues . Now I’m not in anyway saying that it’s worse than torrets but for some people it can be HUGE . Sorry for ranting thank you for bringing awareness to this toxic community on social platforms

Anna has to deal with understaning the concept of any drama and still film it , lets give a round of applause

I don’t have Tourette’s, but I do have ticks developed from ADHD and anxiety over the years. I wish people realized how truly exhausting and frustrating it is to not be able to control yourself. This girl can go somewhere else

People faking ADHD will only focus on the “cute quirky” stuff. They’ll emphasize the hyperactivity, and the constant distraction. “Aaaa I’m so hyper I literally can’t stop moving- OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THE KNEW VENOM MOVIE YET- oo look there’s a bird” but they’ll never bring up that ADHD causes extreme memory problems to a point where I (a person who has been diagnosed since early childhood) cannot remember anything from last year whatsoever as if the whole year itself didn’t happen. People faking it won’t talk about how stupid you feel constantly because it’s like there’s a physical block in your head preventing you from learning and preforming well and just being capable of scoring average on tests. I have an IQ of 125, but every time I take my placement tests in school I get told I’m still at 8th grade level even though I’m a Junior atm. And the people faking it will never talk about how painful it is to have your teacher talk to you as if you’re incredibly stupid, or a child, because you’re constantly getting low scores and they don’t understand how you can’t simply just retain this info in your head, why notes aren’t helping you, or why trying to study is an impossible feet. People faking ADHD won’t talk about how it causes you to be unable to sleep at night, how it gives you extreme insomnia because your brain wants to be constantly active and you’ll only sleep if you work yourself to your breaking point because only then will you be able to fall asleep reasonably. And the people faking it don’t talk or show it because they DONT EVEN KNOW. To every average person it seems like ADHD just makes you super hyper and distracted. They don’t know the details. It’s painful to see these people fake it for attention. It’s painful to watch them glorify it. ADHD isn’t funny. It’s not pretty. It’s not fun. It’s a nightmare.

People would do anything for cloud today, this is just disgusting

Alot of people say I have ADHD because I cant remember ANYTHING, zone out and they looked everything up. I have all the symptoms but that doesnt mean that I say I have ADHD. Its HORRIBLE to fake disorders because they are EXHAUSTING. I have a friend who has ADHD and they have multiple anxiety and panic attacks because of their disorder. I cant believe anyone would think of doing that, let alone actually doing it. smh

They are being really disrespectful and I'm glad Anna is talking about this topic and educating us on it. Your amazing Anna😊

i was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, And general anxiety disorder, and to see people fake it, just makes me sad, they don’t know how hard it is to learn with my disorders.

I have autism dyslexia and social anxiety i see ppl on tiktok faking and i rlly gets under my skin yt is one of the places i go to where i canrt be fun of but more of a place to talk make friends leave moy opinions on things and be myself without getting scared i hate to see ppl faking for clout tysm for making this vid i hope you have a nice day

People actually struggle with these things on the daily! To fake it is just disgusting.... I have no words

its funny how every person who fakes tics just so happens to have Tourettes. not any other tic disorder, it has to be Tourettes. also the fact that they only have cute uwu kawaii tics or lol funny tics instead of ones that physically hurt them like how tics actually does to people who genuinely have them. also that they always seem to have coprolalia or at-least verbal tics. they literally just take the most popular and romanticized parts of tic disorders and have them. its disgusting tbh.

As a person that has tics, not all tics are Tourette’s. The amount of times my head jerks so fast or i choke while involuntary gasping for air, is too high. Since Tourettes didn’t really run in the family except for a few people, my mom took me to the neurologist to get help. I took a survey, and it turned out that I had significant anxiety, and elevated depression. Anxiety can cause you to have tics. Now, I do get bullied at my school for it. People will throw things or hit me and say “oops my tourettes” or tell me to say cuss words then blame it on Tourette’s. I don’t do it because I’m scared of getting in trouble. There are certain times where I will say random things. The point is, some people might just have anxiety tics that are undiagnosed (the symptoms are a lot like Tourette’s symptoms), and call it Tourette’s.

As someone with Tourette’s,this is deniable,disgusting,and wrong

They really must have never had any attention as a kid if their faking Tourette’s.

I like how Anna respects people who deserve to be hated love you Anna

To everyone who struggles with torrettes im sorry people like this exist.

as a person with adhd and autisim, when i see people faking it makes me mad because they get "RaNdOmLy HyPeR" and laugh it off, i have to sit through hours with a shaking leg while my teachers tell me to stop- i am on meds and i HATE this, having disorders isint something funny! (like it isint something to poke fun at) also my best friend has tourettes and somethimes get sick of her tics and just stops.

As someone who has been showing signs of Tourette’s and is getting diagnosed in a few weeks it’s really stupid for someone to do this. I don’t have many tics (if it’s what I think it is) but it can be really stressful .

I have rather severe Tourette’s syndrome and it disgusts me to see people faking the condition for clout. Thank you for bringing awareness to this situation it means a lot!🥰

i don't normally laugh at real tics because people's struggles aren't automatically funny unless they're comfortable enough to share that laugh with you-- but something about seeing them go SIMMMBA fucking KILLED me.

i don’t personally have tourrettes or any kind of tics, but one of my best friends has it and has a tic where they hit themselves in the chest, hard. They have painful tics where they jerk their head, and have even cut themselves by accident because of a tic. I’ve also witnessed them having a painful tic attack, and it almost made me cry because there was nothing I could do to stop it. They have been ridiculed by people and stared and pointed at in public. The fact that they have to deal with that on a daily basis and people have the audacity to fake tics for clout, is so incredibly frustrating and hurtful. And despite all that they are one of the friendliest and most empathetic people I know. They joke or laugh when their tics are funny in a given situation. They live their life because they are a still a regular teenager like the rest of our friends. But it gets worse because my friend has been accused by several people out in public of faking tics, who have no fucking clue about them or their life or just tourrettes in general. The people who fake tics are not only hurting themselves and peoples ability to trust them, but they are also actively hurting an entire community of people who already have to deal with so much. It makes me furious.

SHE has not earned any respect.

A friend of mine from middle school has tics and I worry about him sometimes. He’s genuinely a funny person and always keeps a smile and creating new ideas. I cant imagine what it would be like to be in his shoes or someone’s else’s. The fact that they are mocking a serious condition is honestly disrespectful. They better stop and discontinue this rebellious act. Hopefully they reach out to their family again because I can’t go a day let alone a second without being with my family. They need to get themselves together real quick.

ADHD is not just being hyper. It’s feeling overwhelmed with everyday tasks at work and home. Panicking when you can’t remember if you forgot to do or bring something, hell even remembering when you last ate. It’s often associated with anxiety and depression. The ages of 14-19 were hell for me because of this. It’s not cute or funny. Humor can be a way to cope but weeks or months of being in the throes of a depressive episode reveals it is not always laughing about it and getting famous on the internet for clout.

Gosh.. faking tics is horrible! Some people get very hurt and can possibly die from tic attacks yet people fake it!

As someone who has a version of tics I have anxiety tics I’m offended and sometimes other people’s tics cause me to tic because I get anxious that I’m gonna start ticcing so I start ticcing

I rlly feel bad for people who actually have the syndrome, I can’t imagine how hard it is to live with it :/ those people are really strong

Honestly im not surprised This tiktoker isn't the only one who done this

as someone with tourettes myself i think people who fake are just so annoying bc it makes everyone think we are faking

I was just recently diagnosed with tics and it is REALLY uncomfortable and i have had a panic attack in class because of it and the fact that they are trying to fake it is seriously frustrating! A friend of mine and even my own parents thought i was faking it, for my parents, in order to irritate people and for my friend, for attention. But they don’t know how physically uncomfortable and painful it really is and they still have the nerve to say just control it… unbelievable…

I used to be grade school friends with a boy who had tourettes, and I can remember we were cutting and gluing some kind of little school project craft. And him crying because his ticks(eye twitching and a little body shudder) made it difficult for him to follow along with the teacher. Like that's not cute to fake what people have to struggle with.💔

anna giving us ALL the receipts!

Lmao I burst out laughing. How could anyone take her serious tho 🤣

I'm a person with tics and the popular disorder in tiktok as faking "DID" And it's defintely not enjoyable to this rate.

I’ve seen those Tik Toks of people faking ADHD with videos that go “reacting to this audio as a person with ADHD” or something like that. Like- dude it doesn’t make you react different or anything. It blows my mind as someone with a severe case of ADHD. It makes me VERY upset.

I’m really glad that Anna is talking about faking Tourette’s for clout. It is obviously incorrect to do this. Thank you again Anna.

I have anxiety that’s so bad that I have anxiety attacks daily that I usually pass out from and have gotten anxiety tics from it and seriously it’s so disrespectful to see people fake it for clout because tics can hurt and can ruin relationships.

Omg I just loved your costume ✨ and I remember one time people wore kinda faking they had anxiety. That make me a lot angry because of the fact I deal with it almost since birth, I spend 10 years of my life with psychologists and sometimes they faked their attacks that wore more like panic attack and not anxiety attacks. This cause here is not any different from it, fake a psychological help problem for views when real people live with it and can't have a totally normal live as they have to live if something that was created by terrible traumas. Let's don't forget the fact they are giving the wrong impression and information to people that actually want to understand better the others and how they live in their situation.

as somebody *with* tics, it's really exhausting. I've broken my nose, fingers and have given myself concussions from this disorder, and it's utterly offensive when people like them fake what I have to live with every day. it's an exhausting disorder and it's not fair for people like us. thank you for talking about this, Anna!

It really sucks seeing people turn things that you've struggled so badly with into a trend. I don't have tics, but I have been diagnosed with ADHD and depression. ADHD causes me to almost always fall behind the rest of the class, and there are some things where no matter how hard I try, I just don't get it. with depression, it's not cool. I pushed away my dad back when my depression was super bad and I'm just now reconnecting with him, but I've lost a lot of moments with him I will never be able to get back.

I'm someone who suffers from ADHD (I was diagnosed at 4 - I'm 16 now), and I don't really understand why someone would want to fake it. I have seen some videos on TikTok of people mentioning that they have ADHD and they saying how they get distracted so easily, which although is a symptom, it's not the only symptom. With my ADHD, I have intense mood swings which really affects me and my family, I also have shivers and intense body movements as well as stuttering which can be super stressful for me, as well as this I find it super hard to sit still, so even though I'm exhausted I'm obligated by my body to move which can be dangerous depending the situation, and also makes me feel super down as I feel trapped in my body. Although I was properly diagnosed and have help and support, I still struggle at times with my ADHD, which isn't helped by people faking ADHD, as they think that ADHD is something funny and it's "cool" to have, yet as someone suffering from it, it can be really hard.

As a actual DID system here with 3 alters with tics/Tourette's, you are the voice the internet needs when it comes to fakers, thank you. ~Blue(Host of the system)

There are definitely days where my friend (process of getting diagnosed with tourettes) doesn't tic as much, but then there are some days where it's so straining and exhausting for them because they have constant tics. I could see how a person with tourettes can livestream without tics, but it's pretty rare. Ticandroses really disgusts me. They've hurt everyone who actually has tourettes. Hopefully some day they'll feel guilt for what they've did.

I remember this one tiktok where this person said “when you have a mom with ADHD” and the mom made like 6 different dinners because she “forgot that she made them” when they were all made in one day and they were all meals that would take a lot of time like lasagna, spaghetti, soup, etc. This makes me sick because that isn’t realistic to people with ADHD, we don’t just forget that we spent many hours preparing a meal big enough for a thanksgiving with 100 people in one day. People need to learn that faking any disorder is not okay, especially if someone feels like they might have a disorder but because of some random TikTok then they aren’t valid enough to even ask their doctor about it

As a person with severe anxiety, people need to stop faking these disorders. I know someone who I don’t know if I should consider her a friend anymore at this point, who says she has Tourette’s, autism, anxiety, depression, etc. and it pisses me off. She doesn’t know what it’s like to have most of those. I sometimes find it hard to do anything on some days with my anxiety, and she is here faking it and other disorders.

I dont have tourettes, but I do tic quite a bit every day. it gets annoying, and it's sometimes embarrassing. I was diagnosed with adhd and autism as a young child, and I cannot believe that anyone who fakes it would want to truly live with it every day. my horrible noise sensitivity, sometimes I have the inability to do simple every day tasks, being easily overwhelmed, falling behind on my work because of my inability to focus on it, etc etc. it's a form of gift in some ways but it's terrible to live with in a lot of ways too. I've learned to love myself for who I am but that doesnt mean that living with autism and adhd isnt hard and exhausting :(

Watching people lie about having ADHD is so infuriating. I had to deal with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder because of the way my mind is structured. ADHD isnt some quirky accessory for your personality

I have minor tics (not diagnosed tourette's, just tics). I've hurt myself a few times because of them, however they were not too bad. This person is absolutely disgusting for faking tourette's syndrome,,, I used to follow them, liked their videos, and supported them. I'm ashamed that I used to love them and their content. Thank you Anna for talking about this topic and spreading awareness.

As a person with tourettes I have one word DISGUSTING

This is so annoying because “depressed” 12 year old at school are faking dislexia and adhd for dumb attention and once got caught when a teacher assigned extra credit and later said that hey had to present the project too. If you have adhd you usually have to go through 504 code and teachers are easier on you. She had not code or plan...

As someone with ADHD I could never understand why anyone would want to fake having it. I have to wear headphones all day to stop myself from having anxiety attacks from overstimulation at school. My medication makes it to where I can only eat in small quantities but I don’t know I’m hungry till I feel sick from the hunger, so it’s just a game of roulette with my hunger. Not to mention things like rejection sensitivity that make it hard for me to discern if my friends are mad at me, a lack of a filter when I talk to people and no real way of discerning tone, and executive dysfunction which makes it hard to do even really basic tasks like putting on my shoes in the morning.

I'm genuinely scared for the next generation😃🤚

Of you mentioned it thank you for making this it’s fun watching your videos

I’ve had tourettes since I was 4, and it is so annoying when people accuse me of faking tourettes and when people actually fake tics. my tics are so painful. and sometimes it’s hard to breathe at all. it’s sickening when people fake it

The fact that their sister called them out is HILARIOUS.

My dads friend has Tourette’s, he mostly just flinched and cussed ALOT. And it made people not like him- I think. And even people with smaller tics are greatly effected. Idk sorry if I am wrong!

As someone who have functional/motor tics due to my stress, I get scared when even close to being noticed on social media.

I shouldnt be laughing but the way how anna says "did" 😂😂

I have tourette syndrome. People like this genuinely hurt me and others more than they realise. It gives other people a reason to accuse those of us who genuinely have it an excuse to call us fake. Btw, these tics could have been real. Genuinely. Just because someone has tics that look fake or doesn't tic at all during certain times doesn't make them fake. Not ticcing all the time is common. For example, me! I don't tic when playing piano.

I hate it when people fake ADHD just to be different cuz me myself has ADHD but not as bad as some people. sometimes when I see people fake ADHD it’s kind of offensive :(

I remember I got ripped to SHREDS by tik tok losers for calling this person out on how fake their “Tourette’s” was lol

I have an emotional regulation disorder (borderline). My emotion control is so poor but I usually dont notice it at all. So when I get called out each time im surprised because I cant tell at all. But what I do notice is that my emotions can switch up so many times after each other and its really tiring. I try to be aware of it myself so I can watch my own behaviour and I appreciate it when someone calls me out on something I mightve not even remembered. But I feel so drained every day. it really sucks. it sucks even more when my ptsd kicks in because then my emotions are really strong and its hard for me to switch back so it takes so much time. I can rage for like 1 hour before starting to calm down. it really sucks.

As a 31 year old woman who woke up one morning with uncontrollable motor and vocal tics, it upsets me greatly to see this. I can't tell you just how TERRIFYING it was when it first started and the numerous tests and doctors visits, worrying that something was seriously wrong or that I had a brain tumor and my babies were going to lose their mother..... It was such a stressful time and my tics were so bad I didn't even want to leave my house because tbh it was embarrassing and the embarrassment feeling made my tics even worse. After tons of different testing and various doctors visits, I was diagnosed with adult onset tourettes. Learning to cope with this has changed my life entirely. I've hurt myself more times than I can count, I now have marks and scars from different violent tics. During tic attacks I've cried, begged, and even prayed for the tics to just stop because it HURTS, not just the violent (head hitting/punching/biting) tics but just my body hurts from random movement. My neck muscles have grown because I do a pretty much constant head jerk one, it gets sore really often because of it, especially if its a hard fast jerk.. 2020 was the hardest year of my life in many ways and now in 2021 I'm finally accepting that this is my life. I've been going to therapy to learn how to cope with it and also how to feel "normal" and not be embarrassed by it. You would be shocked how many people blatantly stare or nudge the person they are with, its so humiliating. I have horrible social anxiety and when my anxiety gets worse the tics start getting worse too so its a vicious cycle and people staring doesn't help. This is why its so important to mind your own damn business. If you see someone in person making weird gestures or saying shit just mind your own business. Not everyone who does that type of stuff is on drugs, some of us just have brains that say "hey you should do this" and our body is like "ok cool". The way I described it to my doctor and to anyone who asks me what a tic feels like; to me is that its kind of like an itch. Most times, you just mindlessly scratch the itch without thinking about it so the itch goes away. Sometimes you notice it "hey I have an itch" and you scratch it to relieve that feeling and make yourself feel better. Then sometimes you recognize the itch and choose not to scratch it until you physically can't take it anymore and end up itching yourself bloody or with a worse itchiness than if you just scratched it. I mean shit, even writing this took me a while lol. On bad days I use talk to text because I tend to yeet my phone if I try to hold it more than a few minutes. Threw it a mop bucket the other day so yeahhhh that was fun.... also if your phone doesn't work after a night in rice try leaving it in for 2 more days and try again lmao

I have ADHD, and I don't tell the world all the time that I have it. Cause I wanted to be treated normally. Mine is restless mental thoughts of daydreaming, overthinking, and anxiety. It hurts not being able to focus like how others are and had to go IEP and now Disable students so they can educate me differently to understand the lessons in a more open way. Sorry but I hate when people fake disorders. It's not cute, and others have to live and suffer from what they are born or develop. For anyone who has any of the conditions on the video, please remember you're human/alive, so keep taking care of yourself.

I used to flinch a lot but I know it wasn’t tics and everyone kept like making jokes saying that I’m “faking tics” when I’m really just flinching :(

It's honestly sick to know that some people fake adhd and tics and ptsd but glad anna talking about these fake people

I cannot STAND all these tiktokers pretending to have Tourette’s, a disorder is not “trendy” And I find it incredible disrespectful to those content creators who DO have Tourette’s and struggle with it each day. 🤦🏻‍♀️

As a person with a disorder , it’s repulsive that people are faking having one ! Like it’s not a trend people with these disorders actually struggle everyday and don’t get to just “turn it off” !

As a person with Autism and ADHD this is disgusting faking disorders is one word: disgusting

as a host of a diagnosed DID system, it is extremely invalidating and hurtful when i see others faking it. dissociative identity disorder is so incredibly hard to live with and i have had both online friends, and irl friends confess to faking the disorder. its so hard for us to trust people when they suddenly self diagnose themselves.
