How To Fake Ptsd - Something Scary

[Froggie]

Like Rain said OMG, this is really incrédible, it's one thing hearing about this but having to live under the roof with someone that would go to that extend just for some extra $$$ !!! Anthony, I feel for you sons and you as you were witnessing all this and trying to deal with your own PTSD issues.

 

[jo may]

Don't even get me started on mothers who pop out kids and then get them all on disability for "ADHD" or "autism"(that they DON'T have).

I have REAL P.T.S.D but I'm also one of these "women" that popped out a baby after being lied to by the baby's dad. Now she has a disability called devlopmental delay and it's very REAL!! She will be 9 on new year's eve but will still only have the mental age of a 4 year old. She's now in the ARB.

And my son is on a IEP as he is behind, I have him being looked at now for any further problems. But I honestly hope he doesn't have any. But IF he does than yeah I will do everything in my power to get him the HELP he needs.

I had to fight REALLY HARD to get saffy the help she needed, as she was crying everyday and refusing to go as she found year 3 far to hard. Plus the was a new girl in class who made it her job to UPSET my daughter everyday.

NOT ALL WOMEN POP OUT BABIES FOR THE MONEY, SOME OF US (THIS MIGHT COME AS A SHOCK TO YOU) HAVE THEM BECAUSE WE WANT THEM. I FIND IT INSULTING THAT YOU WOULD MAKE A REMARK LIKE THAT, TARRING US ALL WITH THE SAME BRUSH:mad:

 

[amethist]

Jo May calm down, H89 nor anyone else, is tarring anyone with this, but there are people out there who do do it. This is the point they were making.

You read it and reacted instead of walking away and thinking about what has been written.

Read Anthony's reply above, as an example of what is being meant.

It is not long ago that it was suggested that my Granddaughter could be ADHD, but we proved she is not at all. This is where it was going the other way. She is different and incredibly gifted, bit definitely not ADHD.

So please take a step back and read the full thread again.

Ok amethist I agree with everything H89 said about the PTSD as I'm the same, I only go out if my husband or someone I trust is with me. I never use public transport anymore as it get's to loud and I want to be sick. I'd rather walk knowing full well it will kill me for the next week or so due to my Fibro. I also take my mp3 everywhere as than I can control what I hear.

But I still feel it was unneccesary to put that on the end, yes some people do scam the system. But I still stand by what I said, not all of us who claim for child disablities for no reason. I'd much perfer my children to be at the same stage as the children in their class but it sometime can't be helped.

I love my children they mean the world to me and are the sole reason I keep fighting my PTSD, I do get protective but I'm not sorry for that.:)

On a different matter that is twice this week you have helped me calm and rethink so thank you very much amethist:tup:

Then please follow forum rules about walking away, instead of reacting and apply something to yourself, when a statement is not made to you, its made generally.

I read the thread about people faking PTSD. I've sometimes wondered if I'm faking it, not intentionally. Or something wrong with the diagnosis. So I ask myself, would I go homeless rather than work with babies again? Yea, I can't go back. I'm a single mom. The disability has run out, there's a bit of financial safety net but there's certainly a finite amount. And I'm functioning pretty well right now. Waiting for a new job with the public health department, completely away from any patient care. don't know if the cognitive functioning and memory is totally back but it has to be tested. So I think I'm not faking.

I've seen a couple of suspected Munchausen by proxy and it's very scary. I've also seen people prey on those that are weaker. It's very frustrating when the economy in the US is so bad and social services are being cut so deeply. Those that really need the services are too often lumped with those that take advantage and sometimes it's awfully hard to tell the difference.

This makes me very sad because there is enough legitimate mental illness in the world to deal with. I can see why people try to scam the system for money or attention- whatever. Talk about backwards- before we couldn't get anyone to pay proper attention to PTSD and associated issues, now everyone wants it too? I'm with whomever said they could have it. Is there a magic pill that would transfer our symptoms to these people who want it?

 

[Sazza]

Well said Kimba couldn't agree more, people faking it clearly have there own issues but in the process they may be delaying genuine people from getting treatment sooner. I know someone said earlier about maunchassens or however spell it and in cases like that people have need etc but there need is different to that on PTSD. Its just sad that some people faking it are doing so for whatever reason when all or most us would do anything not to have it or been through or experiences.

I did walk away and I still feel the same, I think child disabilites are much harder to diagnose. But my point was what do mum's popping out kids have to do with faking PTSD. I get some people do it but not all of us.

 

[anthony]

But my point was what do mum's popping out kids have to do with faking PTSD.

Because discussions take lots of natural turns, as every person shares their experience uniquely, and then each person uniquely identifies with something said. Conversations can start at one thing and endup in a very different area.

Just like I have now explained this to you within this thread... a natural course of progression of Q&A combined with experiences.

This is also in chit chat, being very broad, not specific, which the initial post leads to the more specific discussion on it.

 

[goingonhope]

My ex wife did this to both my boys... went from doctor to doctor until she found one who would finally diagnose them with autism... she trained them with traits, in order to receive additional monies and support. There are a lot of nut jobs in this world...

:eek:, this is disturbing :mad:.

:confused:, Very disturbing :mad:.

Here's where I walk away. :cautious:

I am so sorry anthony. :(

 

[anthony]

Hence one of the several reasons why I walked away from even seeing them... she is sick and is making those boys sick, for the sake of her own selfish needs.
