Every person I know who has bpd or I suspect has it is obsessed with their health in really unhealthy ways. I feel there has to be a link.

She would literally throw herself on the floor, for attention or to get out of trouble. I noticed a medical issue would be revisited whenever a problem would crop up . The pity factor is huge with these types. Pain meds are crucial .

Hi David.
Great video. I did not know about Munchausen. Very interesting content here

My mom has muncheusen by proxy.. she had me on all kinds of meds growing up and told everyone about all of these “problems” I had growing up, she told the whole community that I was bipolar as a teenager and then when she kicked me out at 18 no one from the community or church would give me a room or rent to me, I was ostracized because of her lies she made everyone think I was fully insane. She had plans to be in NYC in the towers on 9/11 she didn’t call us until later and all morning we thought she was in the towers, her sister was with her if not she might have lied and just said she was there. I feel like she should have rang as soon as possible, we spent hours, nearly half a day thinking she had died. She still hasn’t come to truth but I have had a licensed counselor being it up to me like “do you know what meucheusen my proxy is?” I was so glad they saw it and pointed it out because I wanted them to come to that conclusion before bringing it up myself, a second licensed therapist agrees and so does my sister that my mother did indeed abuse me using the medical and mental health system and drugs. I’m glad that people can become educated about this. Most of the time it’s a bpd mother doing it, it is so so so damaging not just physically and emotionally but socially. Thanks for covering this topic.

My twin has cancer. Has had 2 brain surgeries. Lives in a bed at our dad’s house. He takes care of her. She can only move one arm now. Our mom has always been super toxic and has extreme attention needs. She is mimicking my sister’s condition. She got herself a hospital bed, refuses to sit up or move or bath herself plus bed pan. Has my dad do everything. He’s getting older won’t hire help and won’t put her in any facility. She has always been this way. Very abusive. I kind of blame my dad for not getting rid of her when we were younger. I left home when I was 16 due to all the violence there and made a life of peace. Please don’t let ur spouse abuse your kids. Live in peace. ❤

This sounds much like the ADHD craze that had and has continued to erupt. Seemed to really peak 10 years ago or so. Your child has energy therefore he/she must be ADHD so just get them on these drugs right here....🥴😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Interesting topic David.. Also The Salt Lady who fed her baby boy Salt until he died. So heartbreaking..

What a weird disorder Munchausen syndrome is. I know people who constantly talk about their medical problems and health issues but I don't think I know anyone who fakes a medical condition. I mean there could be but I don't know they're doing it. I'm dealing with someone who tells me I don't have the same medical condition they have had for many years, even though I was recently diagnosed. I even have the paperwork from the doctor with my lab results and an explanation of my diagnosis. They even tell me not to take the medication the doctor prescribed to me because I don't need it, even though my lab results show otherwise. This person talks about their medical condition as if I don't also have it. The only difference is mine was caused by Covid. It's very weird to me what this person is doing. Very informative and interesting video, David! Thank you.

This is the fourth false accusation of sexual abuse my ex has made all others unsupported. She even told DCF that she’s glad it came from someone else because it would’ve looked vindictive. Totally transparent.

This is my husband. He never had issues when we first started dating, but now he has fits every day and he claims it has always been a problem. I thought it was attention seeking and if I don't play into it, then he claims I don't care about him. This is just one of many of the issues he has that make being with him unbearable. I know I'm a caring and helpful person. I used to work in healthcare and witnessed terminally ill people have less obvious symptoms and keep themselves together. He will start shaking uncontrollably if he feels cold, and acts helpless, and he’s perfectly capable of warming himself like anyone else; he’s not a cripple. He uses it as an excuse to be belligerent and angry towards me.

Thank you David for doing more on borderline personality disorder. How about a parent who is consistently grilling children after parent time with an ex, and then who moves the child to school an hour away, where that parent works just to groom all involved, and then eventually coerced the daughter to make up a Scripted statement of sexual abuse, that nobody believes and should be dropped any day, but has kept my children under the grasp of the abuser for 17 months? Is that a type of Munchhausen by proxy because my lawyer mentioned that?
The mandated reporter works for the high Council parent that has kept me in court for 10 years, and always told me to go have my own children. What she has put us through is tragic.

My mom used to make me take over the counter meds when I wasn't sick. If I just had a minor cough from a dry throat or whatever she made me take cough syrup. She took me to doctors a lot but they kept telling her nothing was wrong with me. She also thinks she has all kinds of illnesses she doesn't have and took meds when she wasn't sick. That's probably hypochondriac though. That's really weird what's the point of a picture of yourself where no one can see your face. I don't get it unless their face looks bad now for some reason? I dunno I can't figure these people out that's prob a good thing.

Can Munchausen change from against self to against another person and vice versa? Someone I know with diagnosed BPD manifests multiple signs of Munchausen's and I worry for those close to her.

[Earthboundhavens]

I had the opposite issue with my (dx) BPD/bi-polar mother and (suspected) BPD/NPD ex. Neither of them would seek medical care, unless it was life and death. My sibling and I spent our childhoods suffering, and my ex always accused me of faking illness or being weak, which turned out to be legit things that could have easily been fixed with common meds and a bit of life skills. My Ex got legal control over my child's medical insurance and uses that power to manipulate, control, and deny medical access. Is this something that is common?

Attention getting behavior...
Definitely can coincide with bpd

Hi, David! Just finished dinner and checked to see if you were on! Sounds like interesting video!!😎❤️

MIL created a smear campaign, telling other in-laws, my husband, and our son I was faking my chronic pain, even after I was medically diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and started Immunosuppressant medication, and continued her BS during the pandemic, placing my life at risk. Yet, she had all kinds of medical stuff that would occur, yet in the end the "doctor made a mistake". The last time she had something wrong, she was dying of Which turned out to be, "the doctor mistook a mosquito bite for cancer". Yet, she told the entire in-law family I was faking a genetic autoimmune disease, Ankylosing In order to get a diagnosis for AS, there is Blood-Work done (I have the HLA-B27 gene, the gene marker for AS), also both of my SI joints are partly I can have all the scientific and medical evidence, I am faking? Went no contact with MIL and in-laws November 2023. I recently broke my hip, and had a total hip replacement, it would not surprise me if she said I faked my hip replacement, or broke it on Ugh. No Thanks! Still No Contact, April 20th will be No Contact from MIL and in-laws.

She also used to work in the office in hospitals, and figured if she worked in the office in a hospital, she knows if you have a chronic illness or not and able to figure out "accurate" No. A hospital receptionist is NOT a doctor. She got fired for doctoring her work hours, but told family she was fired because she isn't "young and fit" like the other doctor

[natlenan]

Wrong. GYPSY has Munchausen. DD was never diagnosed. You need to read the case

[markalexander]

Damn, you really hate Borderline People. They aren't all like THAT.
