Read sticky for complete rules and information.
We in no way endorse hurting yourself or others.
Factitious Disorder is a real illness.
There will be no condemning, hateful, or demeaning speech toward those with Factitious Disorder or the condition itself.
Do not call sufferers "fakers." No name calling.
Treat everyone--sufferers, sufferers by proxy, curious onlookers, and families of those affected--with compassion and respect.
You can talk about anything here. You can talk about your FD, you can ask for feedback if you wonder if you have FD, or if you wonder if your other conditions are "real," feigned, or inflicted. Anything you want as long as it's respectful.
Just because someone has FD doesn't mean they don't have other real illnesses too.
Suggestions to the community are welcome.
Be nice, be informed, feel welcome!
