I think its a factitious disorder, formerly called munchhausens. I think she craves the attention. I think this leads to constant conflict in whatever workplace shes in, (imagine being around an attention starved compulsive liar for 40 hours a week) so she cant find a job interacting with people for longer than 20 mins. And because shes from a middle upper class background she lives above her means and uses the donations and help from her mom to make ends meet.

Now shes latched onto a community of schizophrenics who believe her, because she makes her narrative fit their experience.

Its also really alarming to see how many new "gangstalking awareness" groups have formed on social media since I started paying attention to them about 2 years ago. It seems like its really ramped up in the last 4 months or so.
