But I don't know why anyone would want to exagerate or pretend to have these illnesses. Having said that I think my blog can be pretty confusing in that I tend to write when I am in crisis and not so much when doing well and so it gives the one-sided impression that well I am very, very unstable. Whih is not the case all the time. a lot of the time sadly becuase- well I don't know. How it is. I can't say all is rosey and dong well if I'm not. Perhaps that is what has happened with the person/blogger in question.<br /><br />Anyway don't know. Not sure I've commented before but do read.

I mean, why else would you want to construct a life of various disorders if not for the concern and attention it elicits from others?<br /><br />I think the key is just to stop listening/reading. Don't give them the attention they want and eventually I think they learn that their strategy is ineffective.<br /><br />Hope all is well,<br />NOSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222958655788368904.post-85967953168045533112010-07-11T02:37:06.071+10:002010-07-11T02:37:06.071+10:00I haven't yet cone accross a blog where I thin...I haven't yet cone accross a blog where I think the writer is spouting off absolute rubbish. I can see why you'd feel insulted though. I absolutely cannot understand why someone would fake mental illness to get into a psych ward. Bizarre! Defintely better to just stop reading blogs like that I think!<br /><br />Take care,<br />CassieCassiehttp://willfindhope.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222958655788368904.post-72951839104307580572010-07-10T22:28:06.553+10:002010-07-10T22:28:06.553+10:00Thanks for posting this, because I have also thoug...Thanks for posting this, because I have also thought this a fair bit lately. I stop reading. Simple as. I often wonder if it's my over developed suspicious nature, or they are spouting out genuine bullshit. I want to believe it's me, and that no one would be so disrespectful, but I never can decide. Either way, I don't need to read it. <br /><br />Lola xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
