When I was little I wanted to have my left leg removed below the knee and I was sent to a psychiatrist after my teacher noticed that I'd always draw myself with one leg. They never mentioned anything about BIID to me or my parents back then! I found out about it much later when I was in highschool and I was so surprised that others felt what I did. To this day I still wouldn't mind getting rid of lefty.. but I could never do if myself like others do..
Same story here!
This makes me sort of want to start drawing myself with limbs missing or other physical impairments
BIID does not only refer to a person being paraplegic or amputee, but also with the senses as well, blind, deaf or mute
Thank you very much for sharing!
The first documented case was in 1785- this isn't a recent development. It's a miswiring of the somatosensory cortex, and is as much a barometer of societal decline as epilepsy is.
There is one other strange thing, my right and left side of my body are almost two different beings. I like to image my right side in pain. Sometimes if I scratch my arm, I feel like I'm touching someone else, it's very strange.
Thanks for bringing light to this topic.
Hello, I'm 14 years old and I know that I have BIID since a year ago. I want to lose my left leg below knee. My mom and only my closest friends know. I don't talk about it with anyone though. I think I'm near to my breaking point that I need to talk to someone but I don't dare to go to a psychologist. My biggest wish is to have an accident that leaves me unconscious and when I wake up in a hospital my leg is gone.
Sofia G no joke, same
I'm sorry to hear. I hope your dreams come true!
I feel the exact same way with my audition
What many don't seem to understand ... It's not just about amputation.
It seems to be the largest covered, but pretty much anything you can think of can fall into BIID.
Paralysis, Amputation, Blindness, Deafness...
It's a lot more than just the small criteria that everyone seems to be fixated on.
@@MVPBozeman You have no right to judge people based on their mental illness.
Oddball Autumn biid is not a mental illness it’s a neurological disorder 🙃
For those affected it is a very powerful feeling. You are right not to judge people but to try to understand them and why they are as they are.
I'm somebody who has BID/BIID. I seem to be a little unique from others, in that, I don't want any specific disability, it seems. I just.. sort of want any and all. Even mental ones. And I'm somebody who already has many. But I want more. I believe, for me, it stems from being such a super intense empath, that I really want to know what others feel or how they live. If i could, I'd like to trade bodies with people like every week until I've experienced every single mental or physical pain that's really widerspread today. I've always wanted this, as far as I can tell. It may also stem from my extreme inferiority complex. I might feel more satisfied about this than others since I already am disabled and I would likely enjoy most disabilities. So, in a way, I kind of already have things fulfilled.
It's worth noting that I did meet, I believe someone who had polio? They're an amputee. They were my strings teacher in 4th-6th grade. I didn't even know until the end of the third year!
Thank you for sharing.
I would like to add that a good majority of people with BIID that I happen to know also have physical disabilities not of their own choosing. These include Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Cord Injury, Spina Bifida, Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Club Feet, Degenerative Disc Disease, etc. Thus it is not correct to characterise BIID as being "able bodied people seeking to be disabled".
For background, I have BIID in addition to Fibromyalgia and a Spinal Cord Injury; none being of my own choosing.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
...Make me feel sick to think that I felt that way but finding out now at 19 that there are others who feel the same way and that it's actually a disorder...it feels weird. I had no idea BIID existed...When I found out a few years ago that I have a little abnormality with the size of one of my lower disks I was actually excited and when I get in a car sometimes I hope that we'll get into an accident and break my back. I want to be in an accident where I'll be severely injured and have to...
Thanks for making this video! You are right this is really quite fascinating...goes to show you that you never quite stop learning!
It doesn’t always have to be a limb off or paralysis but those are the most common disabilities. Know a few people wjo want to be blind or deaf or who want to be nonverbal. But hey, thanks for covering this. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing.
your hair kicks ass!
Hello from the age of 8 I have wanted to be paralysed
WOW...I can't believe this is actually disorder!! Ever since I was a little girl I would fantasize being paralysed and in a wheelchair. I always played pretend and imagined what it would be like to be one or have like an amputation or be blind. Going deaf was really the only thing that I told myself I wouldn't want to happen because I have an enormous passion for music. Being paralysed or blind are my two biggest fantasies and I always wondered why I felt that way and sometimes it would...
I never heard of that.. You learn something new everyday
Hi, I'm a 21 year old male. I've had OCD for many years, I've had migranes that have sent me to the hospital. I have synesthesia (I see music, I've seen sounds, and have tasted colors, etc.). For the past few years I have had desires (not sexually) to remove my right leg (about a foot down from my hip), and a desire to remove my right arm from the shoulder. The spots I was my limbs cut at are almost visible it's so vivid!
very interesting...never heard of this.
...have strength and overcome it but I dont want it to be serious enough that it'll be life threatening. Just like badly beaten up and have to be in the hospital and be paralysed. I know it sounds horrible for me to feel this way but I feel that it would make me happy. I want to have to overcome a tragedy and show people how much strength I have to get through it and be an inspiration..I know it's sick but it's how I feel...I cant control it. I've been this way since I was a little kid
Strange. Yes, things in pairs make a sense. The world is kind of divide up that way. But cutting off a health part of your body? That is hard to understand. I am thinking about doing an RN associate, or BSN online. What are your thoughts about doing a program online?
Is there any way at all to rid myself of this feeling? I would never be able to tell my family that I feel this way and be around them in a wheelchair for no reason. It would feel extremely awkward. This might sound insane but I'm actually in nursing school. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a doctor but now I think I would rather be a nurse practitioner. Could these two things be related?
Hi, the feeling doesn't really go away. A lot of people have to live with it there whole lives. Talking to someone who has biid or the same desire as you can help.
I may be 100% wrong, but I have been speculating that I may have this. Though, it's not really that I want to alter my appearance, and that I feel like I should be born with less limbs or anything. It's just that my left hand feels incredibly foreign. It twitches more often, I have less control over it. I don't know how to describe it. I keep getting surprised when it moves when I move.
Now that might be a totally separate condition altogether, I'm no professional. I have only ever very briefly brought it up to my boyfriend and no one else. The feeling sort of comes and goes, but it's always my left hand. It's still a feeling I have, but I have more anxiety about how I would be treated if I did not have my left hand. Or if people knew I had amputated it.
I am also not a professional in this disorder. But seeking a professional might help you work out your feelings regarding this matter.
I want to be fully incapable of walking, whether amputation of both my legs, brain damage, or something. I want to be in a wheelchair. I don’t like bothering others, so it’s not for attention. It just feels so wonderful to imagine my legs not working, to be in a wheelchair. I don’t know why, I just adore it. My legs are always... difficult to move. They feel like they’re not mine. I have to think to move them. I focus on them all day, have thoughts of getting in a car wreck, and trying my best to have a chance in a wheelchair. The look and feeling of walking with these disgusting legs just gives me a feeling of depression and hatred. I don’t want to use them. But my family doesn’t understand. They think it’s just a thought, but it’s not. It’s a need. I’m fighting every day just so I don’t run out in the streets screaming, “hit me!” At the top of my lungs, attempting to finally end my nonexistent pain. I don’t want to feel my legs. I want to use my arms to wheel around. It would be so wonderful. It’s not just a thought or feeling. It’s a need. And I try my best every day to try and not do it. I tell myself, “I would bother my family” which then sometimes makes it worse. Hating my legs for making me feel like this.
Thank you for sharing, I recommend you seek counseling and a qualified provider will be able to help you process these feelings and find a solution that suits you and that is healthy for your lifestyle.
Is there any way to help them get back to their normal healthy life
That I don't know for sure. All I can do is provide support and direct them to the proper resources to assist them in managing this issue. Thank you for commenting.
I have biid for a year now and from the research I've done it's something you've been born with.
I’m originally from India. Both of my parents are from New Delhi India. This disorder breaks my heart in so many ways that I cannot even begin to explain.
India has been voted as the most corrupted country in Asia. There are criminals in India who kidnap poor children from the streets, poor families, and orphanages and use them for begging.
Sometimes they amputate one of their limbs or blind them so that they can earn more money as disabled or blind beggars. The maimed children are dispersed into different areas during the day and are taken back to the criminals during the evening time. All of the money goes to the gang leaders. The worst part about all this is that the government is not doing anything about the criminals because some of the money used is to bribe the police.
This is still happening as we speak and the government of India is not doing anything about it. The same thing happens in China 🇨🇳 as well.
Thank you for sharing.
Nurse Nacole you’re very welcome
I have this you cant help you mind is to week
+Donna Marketos Thank you for sharing.
Your mind being weak is a personal choice. Go do some crosswords and learn how a machine works. Your brain will probably grow a little more
@@MVPBozeman it's not a personal choice, your mind has it's own level of strength, sometimes it has a maximum level of strength
