I spoke to my therapist about disorder fakers actually and they gave me their professional opinion: A lot of young people dont fit in and instead of learning to fit into their own skin they find solace in disorders. I think that it's interesting, it makes sense that very insecure people would do this sort of thing. Anyway name's jeff
It's funny, I've mentioned it to my therapist too. I asked her in all her years and in clinical training how many people she's seen with true DID. She said there was one she knew of where they suspected DID. It's really crazy to hear that knowing where my therapist went to school and trained. It really put things in perspective.
what happened to doing drugs? those seem way more fun. getting high. finding homies to get high with. doing stupid shit while high. but no people want mental disorders of all things for some fucking reason especially considering shit like weed is legally purchasable. just give me really good weed or a weed brownie and i'm set for the day.
i think what pisses me off the most about people faking DID is how ACTUAL DID is developed: through severe and repetitive childhood trauma. your parents taking away your ipad is not severe childhood trauma. being locked in a room without food and having to live with your own defecation for a week because you misplaced an item at home and your parents got angry is severe childhood trauma. getting grounded is not severe childhood trauma. being buried alive by your stepfather with only a pipe on over your head for you to be able to breathe, and then having said stepfather urinate in said breathing hole, and being left there to choke, is severe childhood trauma (this is a true abuse story btw). these are all things that happen in your early childhood when your conscious mind has not yet fully developed the characteristics for your personality. the abuse must be so vile and continuous that the child's mind, quite literally, breaks, and is unable to process these events, so it goes into an 'emergency mode' of "holy shit we won't be able to live and be sane if we remember these things"-- split it into a different compartment of the brain, hide it with amnesia, repeat if necessary. some people with DID can take quite a while through their lives to realize they have the disorder, precisely because it wants to hide. the brain wants to hide those extremely gutwrenching memories from you, so you're able to live a semi-normal life. and that is exactly what riles me up: people who actually have this must have gone through such severe and immensely painful trauma in their lives to the point that their own mind tried to protect them from it. and then, chronically online people wake up one day and think it's cute and quirky to create characters in your head and headcanon your role-playing fantasies and call it DID, when it is a disorder that develops from such serious and heavy events in a child's life. a CHILD's life. these people truly make me so mad.
It's probably the extreme opposite of abuse and trauma - their parents probably kept them safe but spent zero time with their own children and let the TV and internet raise them. Now they are desperate for attention and companionship but lack social skills due to lazy parents not caring. Don't be mad at them. Be sad that they probably won't have enjoyable, normal or long lives and will be chewed up and spat out by society, the system and their closest friends and family. They won't know the joy of raising their own family in their own home while managing their own important responsibilities and the joy felt from actual accomplishment. They will probably be heavily medicated and weekly therapy sessions trying to cope with the ignorance that they brought it all own their own.
Root of all evil is bad parenting. Abuse causes trauma and absent parents create insecure kids that seek for attention through social media. It's sad honestly.
I swear to god this shi*t makes me angry as hell. I don't have DID but other mental illnesses that I have seen were being faked online for clout. No wonder nobody believes me when I'm actually distressed... Thank you very much TikTok fakers :( it just makes me feel more alone and misunderstood thenks to those awful people...
Wow that true story sounds absolutely horrible I can’t even begin to imagine how horrible that would feel and how detrimental that would be to someone’s mental health. And then here we have people faking DID and some people saying that you don’t have to go through severe trauma, which just isn’t true. Anyway I found your comment really (can’t find the right word) informational? Actually I think insightful is the right word. Thank you ❤
I'm actually pretty sure the person at 22:50 does actually have autism, I used to follow them on twitch and I'm pretty sure they're diagnosed. The edits they do are designed to make entertaining content relating to their twitch channel so with the cutting/editing it may be more choppy and therefore cringy but I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) they're diagnosed.
i've been struggling with a physical health issue for a while now (dizziness, seeing double, shaking while walking) and i thought i had an idea of what the issue was, and was severely let down when i had an mri done and was told there was nothing wrong with my brain. i wasn't hoping there was anything wrong, i was hoping that i could figure out what was wrong with me so i could start working to fix it. disappointment doesn't necessarily stem from "man, i was really hoping i had this specific issue," it's moreso "well great now i have no idea what my issue is and i have to talk to more doctors and get more testing done before i can get better"
Honestly, I watched you and Retro separately and didn't know yall were dating. And when you mentioned yall were moving in, I was honestly greatly surprised, genuinely cool and adds a unique Easter egg every once in a while. Glad yall are happy and happy 1 year
People who I have DID usually don't realize it without the help of a therapist because the "personalities" are not aware of each other. It is very very rare for people with DID to have personalities that are aware of each other. This happens either late in life after dealing with the disorder for most of your life or with the help of a therapist.
@@TwizzlerGirlthat's the thing about DID you're not supposed to know that you have it because it's literally your brain trying to protect you. It's a really sad way of living but it's also how your brain learned to survive in order to keep you alive
I wish that everyone who made TikToks about their “disorders” would be made to spend a week in a mental hospital. Nothing like spending a week somewhere that is so restrictive that they take the staples out of magazines.
nope! nowdays bc covid they get their phones lol kids on TT go to the MH for fun and to make a “quirky video” i spent my three times in there sobbing and wondering why i was being punished for my mental health. these kids think it’s a game and it’s just sad .
No because a lot of them even treat that as a joke and make TikToks in there. They call it "grippy sock jail" and make it a quirky experience. I literally once saw a TikTok where a girl was BRAGGING about hoe many times she had been in some sort of mental hospital/inpatient program for her numerous issues and another where a girl was showing off all of her "special grippy socks" that she got from being in mental hospital. It's crazy
I don’t want to be given any “I’m so sorry that happen to you” but I had to spend a week at a mental hospital and I had to witness a lot. Funnily enough there was people faking Tourette’s and DID BEFORE this became a really big trend. And the mental hospital didn’t help at all for me and it actually made my life more traumatic than before. Not only did I experiencing the mental hospital’s patients (ex: self harming in the corner of the gym and screaming during night) but also the events that took place after I got back. I agree but disagree because they would learn who actually has these issues but once the mental hospital prescribes you meds you’ve never been on.. it gives more of an excuse to say you developed Tourette’s. (Actual thing that happened during my time there 🫠) (she was 18… and didn’t actually have it ._.)
@@Xero.mp3 Damn that’s messed up, I was fortunate to be able to go to a very small mental hospital. Unfortunately though when you are surrounded by disturbed individuals, you do witness things that can be traumatic. I have them pushed down so deep that it’s hard to remember them, or I was just really out of it.
Absolutely, my friend...EXACTLY the same as all of these TQIA+ grifters/hangers-on (with their freaky-coloured hair, septum piercings, excessive tattoos, etc - much like a freaking TikTok uniform now) have truly messed things up for REAL transsexuals, of whom I knew several back in the '90s, when I was an avid fan of the gay scene in Melbourne...it completely sucks for the genuine folk, the same as al of the GoFundMe cheats have done for truly deserving VICTIMS...
Tourettes fakers have gotten so bad that I have been called one. I (very rarely) have tics when I'm anxious or stressed, and one time it happened at school and i got sent to the office for "faking tourerres" during class
exactly this. i HARDLY EVER tic, and when i do, it's something minor (usually), and when i do, i almost always get 'called out' for being a liar and i feel absolutely horrible about it, because i cant control it. like. ok
I once got tardive dyskinesia from some medicine I was taking which caused violent and sharp head tilts that actually caused neck pain. My doctor told me it could be permanent so I was very lucky it reversed when I stopped the medication. But during the month or two I had it, I got told I was being insensitive and to stop "faking tourettes". When I tried to tell them it's not tourettes and instead was tardive dyskinesia and that there were different types movement disorders, they said "wow you did you research" Research???? I got diagnosed by a doctor wdym research????
3:30 i love this creator she talks about a lot of disorders and other things, i see her a lot and her videos are actually really sweet and wholesome and makes videos on many topics that are misunderstood to help educate people on the facts
My 20 year old son has severe autism, to the point he will never ever be able to live on his own. He will always be with me or his father or perhaps his brother. He does not act like that. He sits there and barely speaks. He only speaks if spoken to, or he's repeating something he's been watching. He does not go bat shit, saying stuff like "omg I'm autistic can you tell TEEHEE SO QUIRKY MUCH FUN" It breaks your heart as a parent. Also we had to pull him out of school in the 8th grade because his teachers were awful to him and stole his Ritalin and then said we didn't send any. That makes me feel like I failed him somehow.
Please don’t feel like you failed your son. Our adult son has Aspberger’s. Fortunately, his experiences through school were positive. I’m sorry you and your son went through that but you are being a GOOD mom by advocating for him and being his voice, as it were. You pulled him out of school for his own sake. I never thought our son would ever live on his own either but as he gotten older, he’s 24 now, things slowly changed. He still lives at home but works full time and even holds three college degrees. He even recently got his driver’s license. It took three tries. Point being, these are all things we never thought he’d do. Things change. Have hope and continue to be the good mom that you are.
As a 22 year old autistic person I appreciate you mentioning this. I feel like no one really mentions people who fake autism and it was a huge thing for a long time. It’s made me really bitter and I try not to see if it’s still happening. I’m not sure if the “quirkiness” of it has worn off for them yet or if the reality and weight of the label has set in but god if I could self-UNdiagnose I would. It’s so draining and can be so devastating It’s obvious no one cares about differences or disabilities when it comes to the reality but love to wear a label for a glimpse of attention if they can get it. You didn’t fail your son; teachers were horrible to me too ): it’s just normal even though it shouldn’t be. You protected him in the best way you could and that was by getting him away from them. I’m sorry that happened to you both but that guilt shouldn’t fall on your shoulders it should fall on theirs - but I have a feeling they aren’t capable of feeling any
@bellah8393 over 10 years ago in 2013 AsPergers was removed from the DSM. The doctor it was named after was a na[banned word interupter]zi and aspergers is considered offensive to many people on the spectrum. It's now considered low support needs ASD.
I know I'm so late to this but I wanted to say you didn't fail him. You did what's best for him. He's lucky to have a parent like you. Hope your family is doing well❤
All the work de-stigmatize mental disorders so people would accept and listen to those of us that suffer, only to have these clout chasers come along and discredit disorders once more really pisses me off!
As a Vet with ptsd this makes me sick. Like every Egirl saying "My boyfriend yelled at me one time now I have PTSD." Oh fuck off. People like that take away from people who do have it.
I feel like a certain percentage of this is awkward creative kids at a cringey life stage, as well as kids / young adults who need more real life social interaction. I bet a lot of these people could get very good at writing stories / drawing characters / acting / making short films. TikTok is sort of stealing their creative potential by encouraging them to use it for clout. If they put it into practicing real skills and doing projects alone or with other people, that investment would grow and benefit them throughout life
I have no doubt that lot of these kids believe they have these disorders, it's easy to get caught up with being in an 'interesting' group, especially at the ages that most of them appear to be. I'm guessing a lot of them will grow out of it and be seriously embarrassed about their old videos someday.
"...I don't want to make it seem depressing and terrifying..." What...You mean make it look "real"? Seriously, if this person has it, they should show all sides to the disorder. Because that IS what TikTok-xic needs.
9:29 OMG 😮😂🤦🏻♀️ DO THESE PEOPLE (children) HAVE PARENTS!? Like seriously though… I’d be horrified if my kid was publicly, posting shit like this… Definitely need more involvement! 😢
I will never understand how someone would WANT to live life on hard difficulty. Imagine WANTING trauma. Imagine WANTING to become a social outcast for things you cannot change. Absolutely disgusting
They see it as an excuse to not improve themselves or alter their behavior. It's a "get out of jail free" card for their immature or inappropriate actions or behaviors. They never have to admit failure or wrongdoing, "it's not their fault". Or so they think.
I don't think people would pay attention to what is engraved on glasses when there is a great big metal disc hanging from their nose. On a serious note with all these TikTokers, with the amount of metal that in their head are they been effected by the 5G network antennas?
it’s funny that a lot of them do have piercings and a lot of tattoos but in videos they’re so “uncontrollably ticking…” how tf did they get those piercings and tatts? they’re just lying it’s painful to watch😭
I saw some kids on a stream tell a streamer they were autistic for forgeting to text back. Bothered me quite a bit they really tried convincing this guy he has autism. They are really reaching with symptoms lately.
As someone who used to be one of these fakers, I’d first of all, like to apologize. Whilst I never went public with it and it was kinda just something I told myself to make myself feel better. The best thing I did to fit in was to stop trying to be popular, and to find people who like stuff I do. Sure I only have like 6ish friends but that’s okay
I have very minor motor tics, they're from a nice mix nerve damage and anxiety and get worse when I am tired or more anxious of course. Anyhow, I was at a dinner with my friend who has diagnosed Tourettes for his birthday. We were sat at a table near this group of teens/young adults and one of them was HAMMING it up. My friend at one point turned and said "really?" This idk 17 year old girl decided to argue with him about her Tourettes. When he said that we actually had it, she goes "okay, tic then." The audacity of some of these fakers is actually funny to me.
They can have my C-PTSD (or OSDD, still in the diagnosis process), it is SO FUN AND QUIRKY HAHAHAHA MAN I LOVE DISSOCIATING AND CONSTANT FLASHBACKS TO CHILDHOOD TRAUMA HAHAHAHA COME ON GUYS HAVE FUN WITH ME
The amount of people that self diagnose based off TikTok videos from random strangers is wild. I went to get neuropsych testing on the recommendation from my psychiatrist and the first thing they asked me was “Did you come here because of TikTok?” 🤦🏻♀️
I live with PTSD and mania, and a few other things. It is absolute HELL, and it disgusts me that they can just turn off the pain, the suffering, the trauma, and panic attacks the SECOND they turn off the camera.
It wasn’t that long ago that people didn’t tell anyone who didn’t need to know, about their mental health. Honestly, it’s not better now. I was, and still am, afraid to tell people in my actual real life about my mental health. It’s no because of the stigma. Now, it honestly sounds like it makes people more popular now. It’s because not everyone needs to know something personal. If someone thought I was faking in high school, it was because they didn’t know how a mental illness looked in real life. Ignorance can be educated. If someone thinks I’m faking my problems now, it’s because people actually do fake it, and put it online, and we refuse to do anything about it. That stings a bit more, but like I said, not everyone needs to know everything about you. Things like Tourette’s is harder to keep private but you can wait to bring it up and just mention ‘sorry. I have ticks’ and move on. Usually they won’t ask more than they need to know, and you can say ‘I don’t like talking about it more than necessary.’
I was diagnosed with did when I was younger. I dont believe them. I do disassociate, but I dont become a different person. It's more like I go into auto pilot. Then when I come out of it it's like I just lost a bit of time. I still did my job or whatever it was that stressed me out. I just dont remember what I was doing. I so much prefer that to when I go into zone out mode. Cus i dont get anything done durring that. It makes me feel really dumb when someone at work had to snap me out of it. Luckily i dont do either as much the older i get.
Interesting how they all have ticks while they are alone, at home, or in a secluded public place (restaurant booth). I'd like to see them "in the wild" around people.
As someone with OSDD, this makes me really sad. I went through alot to just get diagnosed and battle the complete isolation I forced myself into because my parents never taught me about mental disorders, none of my mates knew either so when the symptoms started to show, I ignored them and feared them, I'm now just starting to cope with it. All of my hard work goes down the drain when these kids pretend to be on the D.I.D spectrum
As someone that's diagnosed with tourettes, went to therapist, neurologists, tested like a guinea pig. I don't understand why people want to fake having tourettes. This shit sucks
As a 39 yr old woman diagnosed with DID it is scary and it is depressing! We suffer every min of every day. We also don't switch like that either. I didn't name my personalities they were given to me like I did with my father who also suffered from the same disorder. These kids are delusional!!!
Hugs for you. I've only seen it happen to my dad once and he was a stranger and I was a stranger to him. It was scary. Why anyone wears this like a crown is just insulting and gross.
These kids have never struggled. They were never bullied as a kid. I'm 25 I was in the special class as a kid. I had an iep. I WAS bullied. I was literally jumped as a kid. I legitimately had to fight for my life sometimes. *early 2000s kids were worse than today. Now they do it online and it can easily be proven. B4 that it was verbal and physical. *
I totally agree when I was diagnosed just after my first child was born, I was petrified, I didn’t want scare anyone around me, I get ashamed when one comes out I want to hide in my room, and I’m nearly 50 now. These alters are nasty and I have tried to kill my self as I want it all to go away.
I have tourette's myself. I have very minor tics. I have occasional head, twitch and occasional eye twitch so much so most people don't notice it until they do. I don't like to talk about it but people faking for clout makes me sad sometimes. What a world we live in
as someone with tics (neurologist diagnosed) people that fake tics tend to say theres no treatment at all for them or no way to control them, but in reality there are medications doctors will put you on if you actually have tics. Pimozide is one of them, it definitley helped, i had to come off it because of other medical conditions but there definitly are treatment options out there.
I remember when I didn’t know you and retro were together. I think I was subscribed before you two announced it, though I might be remembering it wrong. You two have both gained a lot of subscribers since I subbed a long time ago. I remember when retro only had a few thousand subs. Glad i get to see y’all grow as youtubers!
They are trying not to be attractive to "the patriarchy" 🤣. It is working! As a bi woman, I'm also very turned off. Soft feminine or strictly masculine women are my preferences. These...?...not it. Nope. Bleh.
It makes me sad seeing these young people making themselves repellent! It feels like they are withdrawing from participating in society, and I wonder if they feel inadequate. Because they aren’t! Everyone has nice features they can be proud of
@@elusivemayfly7534 I think it's because literally nobody wants to live in this society that our overlords have forced on us. It's not healthy, is not natural, it's not beneficial to anyone but the tops wallets. It's disgusting and repulsive and it's pushing everyone away and apart.
I'm not diagnosed cus tbh I've never been to the doctors about it, and for years never really associated it with Tourette's. But I have had painful ticks since I was maybe 19 years old and I am now 36. I mainly get them in my jaw and muscles in the front of my neck. My right arm and leg too which in the past has resulted in injuries. I used to get them in my face which wasn't great and had a period of time that I would often fall from them. And people really made fun of me badly for it. I don't have any control over them, I just have better days than others. I asked a person I was close to if they ever noticed them and they said yes but didn't want to say anything. So it makes me sad to see people faking these things. Why would you want to suffer.
God bless you, too. Bi-polar is no joke, my heart goes out to you and others who suffer from it. I've dealt my own battles, but noting as debilitating. Please remember that you are important 🙏 ❤️ and I hope you have more days without symptoms than with them.
I hope you’re getting some help,it is extremely difficult. I am diagnosed with OSDD and Bipolar 2. I have noticed that these obnoxious children don’t fake Bipolar as much as other mental illnesses. Please take care of yourself~
I don’t have bi polar but I have borderline personality disorder and it sucks I don’t know why anyone would want to fake having this kind of thing it sucks
As a mother of a son with nonverbal autism I appreciate you raising awareness. People who fake mental illness take resources from those who actually need them. It’s a very serious problem.
They arent faking that they have a disorder, what they are faking is they have a specific disorder that they wish they had. It is hard to argue that these people are not mentally ill, so I think they should get treatment for their actual mental illness and attention seeking behavior. I doubt they want to receive treatment for narcissistic personality disorder though.
I am so glad you brought up the kid who really has Tourette's. That poor kid suffers so much physically, mentally, and socially. It is so disrespectful to pretend you have a disorder to be different or "quirky." It degrades the experience of people who really have it.
I have actually shopped on Amazon whilst asleep. On two occasions I’ve ordered some odd stuff and not remembered at all, and I rarely drink( only one beer normally if I do). I definitely don’t have DID, I just sleep shop. It happens! My husband tells everyone we have been lucky I have only bought small things !!
My girlfriend has tics (not tourettes tho, its not the only tic disorder) and her tics are dangerous to her. She has this one tic where she swallows air and that made her choke a few times and it is NOT fun and then some 14 year old on TikTok do some quircky little movements and make it look 'fun' while my girlfriend's tics are a danger to her health.
1:00 this is how you ask for support. ASKING this is the best request of support or membership I’ve ever heard if I had money I would get the highest one possible
I always love watching these TikToks so much! It’s hilarious when people try and fake a lot of the stuff that I have, it’s so obvious they’re faking lmao.
lmao i got diagnosed with PTSD and i honestly wanted to kms. yeah, i understand that pstd is why I'm like this, but im not happy about it. ill never be happy about it. why are people happy with faking/having mental illnesses. tf....
As a person who is diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder, a social disorder which makes it hard to socialize) this is very disrespectful, don't fake your disorders on the internet. (I also have other disorders, but I don't want to get accused as faking the disorders, even though I'm diagnosed with them) (I also love the content, keep up with this lovely content.)
In my class there is a guy with tourettes. I didn't really notice it, I simply thought he was stuttering but no he was speaking while having tics. Our class respects him and he even is friends with the popular kids.
I used to joke that I have honesty tourettes(sp?) Because sometimes I just couldn't help myself in just saying honest things as they sprung to mind. But I found out after taking the RADS test, that it's a sign of autism.
D.I.D. is horrific to live with. My case is not as severe as I know others are as my triggers are so very specific and ever since moving out of my home state I rarely come across them. However it does not erase the impact it has on daily life. Dissociating is still extremely debilitating and causes me to have to sit down and hide surrounded by a bunch of stimulus because of the fear of switching and the feeling of not feeling real. I am absolutely terrified to live alone as my alters have tried to kill the body 11 times throughout childhood as a way of coping and I thought it was sleep walking. There are scars on my body due to the amount of times someone decided that burning was the best way to deform ourselves. My relationships are not normal. DID is something that is not only formed due to repeated trauma but a lack of stability in parental/guardian relationships which creates a sense of comfort and discomfort at the same time. I didn't ask for the disorder and I had convinced myself in earlier years that it was Schizophrenia. My trauma was always downplayed by those I confided in and have been called possessed by no small number of people. I do not care if people believe I am faking or just wanting attention because I know my truth and it is a truth so horrific that I wish upon no other human in the world.
It seems u know a lot about disassociation, i have a question if thats ok. Not about did but disassociation, is that a coping mechanism? Does it happen that people who were victims of abuse about 4 yrs ago continue to have spells of dissociation causing them to be forgetful, unconcentrated and confused alot of the time? My question is about teens, not adults. Is this curable? Is there a speciffic tx for it? Thanks
it's litterly so embarrassing being diagnosed with autism now (i was diagnosed with it at age six) bc now you get people assuming automatically you're faking bc tiktok kids decdied it was the lastest fashion trend. it's all fun and games until going outside is litterly impossible v because every little noise hurts, shopping is impossible because lights are too bright and theres too many people. Things actually affect you and make life ten times more difficult. they all want to be diagnosed with something until it actually becomes a chore to have. idk if im explaining right but the TLDR of it is, it sucks people fake these things.
@ABLAZE okey i have a serious question. I worked in human services/casework for 13 or so years. I did the gamut. Latency aged children. Teens (boy that was fun) as well as mums in recovery and men with disabilities. So as you could guess, i had tons of clients. I legit had one man who had severe autism. Basically non verbal. Sensory issues. Spitting and lets just say bathroom issues. But i dont think i had anyone with tourette syndrome. If i sent you an email, could i ask you a few questions? I understand if you aren't comfortable. Some stranger on the internet asking mad serious questions lol. Anyway i get a chuckle from your vids. Thank you!
I’m so glad ABLAZE is making videos calling out fakers. I’m 42 and have Tourette’s. I had a mild case and didn’t tic much but was diagnosed with a "reactivation" as mine are pretty bad now. It’s not fun to be stared at, pointed at and recorded. I can’t drive anymore, can’t work at my job (worked in customer service), can’t go out to nice places, quiet places, I feel like a prisoner in my home most the time and always so exhausted.
19:19 the people who randomly switch disorders or add another I feel like are more certain to have Munchausen's, because they want to have what's most popular and more disorders to get more sympathy.
Ok I have to speak up here. Tourettes is not a f***ing joke. My son has been diagnosed with it. When he was young, he'd get tics that bothered him so much they would cause him extreme pain. One of his tics was in his foot, and he'd involuntarily stretch his pinky toe out over and over until it hurt. Once, it got so annoying to him that he started stomping on that foot with his other foot shouting 'stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it!!!' I think he was around 5 at the time. He didn't understand what was happening. The worst tic he has is one where he kind of sucks his chest in repeatedly, and it makes a soft kind of 'grunting' sound - but not so soft that it's not noticeable. It makes his chest and throat really, really sore. As a child, if he got a cough, the cough would turn into a tic - so between the cough and his asthma, combined with the tic, doctors would put him on codeine - because to avoid the cough tic he would start scratching himself (a replacement behaviour he developed himself). He'd end up with wounds all over his chest and arms from scratching. Now, as an adult, he keeps either a guitar or drumsticks in his hands whenever he's not working to distract himself, and if it's a bad day he'll spend hours at the drum set. And the side effects of the meds for Tourettes aren't horrible - they're quite minimal. So to those who are faking it? F**k you. Only 0.3% of people in the U.S. have Tourettes. How is it that most of you seem to be on the internet?
I wonder why my neurologist has never mentioned this medicine that I could take to stop my tics... Also, please teach me how to make my tics look cute and quirky. All of mine currently just cause me a lot of pain and make me look deranged in public. My most aggressive tic includes jerking my head to the side so hard that it feels like my brain crashes into my skull. Help a girl out, 13 year old neurologists of tictok.
It's hard living with these fakers me and my little sis has autism and we can't drive or do stuff well i can't do stuff and we both can't drive true story I got diagnosed at a young age and didn't start experiencing it when I was in highschool and it been a burden to my life ever since
I had a friend who swore up and down she had x, y, z mental illnesses on top of z, y, z sexuality. She was attention starved. If she were gen-z, I guarantee she'd be one of these weirdos on TikTok. Unfortunately, she sought out hard drugs after high school and has a baby from a stranger after prostituting herself for $$. No idea what she's up to now, but the silence of zero news is typically an indication of zero success on her end. Don't feel sorry for her, she was a horrible person who liked manipulating people and causing drama and distress.
I like to think that the people that fake tourettes to an obnoxious level, others assume they're bugging out on drugs. I work at a gas station and the behavior of local methheads sorta match the kind of shit they do.
Did you have to reupload this video or something? I feel like I already saw this video so the whole time I was watching it I was questioning my sanity lol
New Channel
He watches 👁_👁
Watcha watchin'?
Second best channel on UA-cam 😅
"Too"(vid title), can't wait for more, not sarcasm just a small correction.
So weird how I discovered this channel before you announced it. I thought it was a fake channel so I didn’t sub lol
I spoke to my therapist about disorder fakers actually and they gave me their professional opinion: A lot of young people dont fit in and instead of learning to fit into their own skin they find solace in disorders. I think that it's interesting, it makes sense that very insecure people would do this sort of thing. Anyway name's jeff
Flip side of the coin, they want an easy out for avoiding accountability
@@RaccAttack77 both explanations are true
It's funny, I've mentioned it to my therapist too. I asked her in all her years and in clinical training how many people she's seen with true DID. She said there was one she knew of where they suspected DID. It's really crazy to hear that knowing where my therapist went to school and trained. It really put things in perspective.
Is Jeff the alter that is fronting right now lol
what happened to doing drugs? those seem way more fun. getting high. finding homies to get high with. doing stupid shit while high. but no people want mental disorders of all things for some fucking reason especially considering shit like weed is legally purchasable. just give me really good weed or a weed brownie and i'm set for the day.
i think what pisses me off the most about people faking DID is how ACTUAL DID is developed: through severe and repetitive childhood trauma. your parents taking away your ipad is not severe childhood trauma. being locked in a room without food and having to live with your own defecation for a week because you misplaced an item at home and your parents got angry is severe childhood trauma. getting grounded is not severe childhood trauma. being buried alive by your stepfather with only a pipe on over your head for you to be able to breathe, and then having said stepfather urinate in said breathing hole, and being left there to choke, is severe childhood trauma (this is a true abuse story btw).
these are all things that happen in your early childhood when your conscious mind has not yet fully developed the characteristics for your personality. the abuse must be so vile and continuous that the child's mind, quite literally, breaks, and is unable to process these events, so it goes into an 'emergency mode' of "holy shit we won't be able to live and be sane if we remember these things"-- split it into a different compartment of the brain, hide it with amnesia, repeat if necessary. some people with DID can take quite a while through their lives to realize they have the disorder, precisely because it wants to hide. the brain wants to hide those extremely gutwrenching memories from you, so you're able to live a semi-normal life.
and that is exactly what riles me up: people who actually have this must have gone through such severe and immensely painful trauma in their lives to the point that their own mind tried to protect them from it. and then, chronically online people wake up one day and think it's cute and quirky to create characters in your head and headcanon your role-playing fantasies and call it DID, when it is a disorder that develops from such serious and heavy events in a child's life. a CHILD's life. these people truly make me so mad.
It's probably the extreme opposite of abuse and trauma - their parents probably kept them safe but spent zero time with their own children and let the TV and internet raise them. Now they are desperate for attention and companionship but lack social skills due to lazy parents not caring.
Don't be mad at them. Be sad that they probably won't have enjoyable, normal or long lives and will be chewed up and spat out by society, the system and their closest friends and family. They won't know the joy of raising their own family in their own home while managing their own important responsibilities and the joy felt from actual accomplishment. They will probably be heavily medicated and weekly therapy sessions trying to cope with the ignorance that they brought it all own their own.
Root of all evil is bad parenting. Abuse causes trauma and absent parents create insecure kids that seek for attention through social media. It's sad honestly.
I swear to god this shi*t makes me angry as hell. I don't have DID but other mental illnesses that I have seen were being faked online for clout. No wonder nobody believes me when I'm actually distressed... Thank you very much TikTok fakers :( it just makes me feel more alone and misunderstood thenks to those awful people...
Thanks for this comment! I know almost nothing about DID so this was really insightful for me! ❤
Wow that true story sounds absolutely horrible I can’t even begin to imagine how horrible that would feel and how detrimental that would be to someone’s mental health. And then here we have people faking DID and some people saying that you don’t have to go through severe trauma, which just isn’t true. Anyway I found your comment really (can’t find the right word) informational? Actually I think insightful is the right word. Thank you ❤
Imagine being told you *DONT* have a mental illness and being unhappy about it...
I'm actually pretty sure the person at 22:50 does actually have autism, I used to follow them on twitch and I'm pretty sure they're diagnosed. The edits they do are designed to make entertaining content relating to their twitch channel so with the cutting/editing it may be more choppy and therefore cringy but I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) they're diagnosed.
@@just_v_woolf Theses certianly something wtong with them... wither thats the Tism or something is up for debate
i've been struggling with a physical health issue for a while now (dizziness, seeing double, shaking while walking) and i thought i had an idea of what the issue was, and was severely let down when i had an mri done and was told there was nothing wrong with my brain. i wasn't hoping there was anything wrong, i was hoping that i could figure out what was wrong with me so i could start working to fix it. disappointment doesn't necessarily stem from "man, i was really hoping i had this specific issue," it's moreso "well great now i have no idea what my issue is and i have to talk to more doctors and get more testing done before i can get better"

People who I have DID usually don't realize it without the help of a therapist because the "personalities" are not aware of each other. It is very very rare for people with DID to have personalities that are aware of each other. This happens either late in life after dealing with the disorder for most of your life or with the help of a therapist.
Omg that makes so much sense , thank you!!
@@TwizzlerGirlthat's the thing about DID you're not supposed to know that you have it because it's literally your brain trying to protect you. It's a really sad way of living but it's also how your brain learned to survive in order to keep you alive
I wish that everyone who made TikToks about their “disorders” would be made to spend a week in a mental hospital. Nothing like spending a week somewhere that is so restrictive that they take the staples out of magazines.
nope! nowdays bc covid they get their phones lol kids on TT go to the MH for fun and to make a “quirky video” i spent my three times in there sobbing and wondering why i was being punished for my mental health. these kids think it’s a game and it’s just sad .
No because a lot of them even treat that as a joke and make TikToks in there. They call it "grippy sock jail" and make it a quirky experience. I literally once saw a TikTok where a girl was BRAGGING about hoe many times she had been in some sort of mental hospital/inpatient program for her numerous issues and another where a girl was showing off all of her "special grippy socks" that she got from being in mental hospital. It's crazy
@@veronica-mew that's fucking sad
I don’t want to be given any “I’m so sorry that happen to you” but I had to spend a week at a mental hospital and I had to witness a lot. Funnily enough there was people faking Tourette’s and DID BEFORE this became a really big trend. And the mental hospital didn’t help at all for me and it actually made my life more traumatic than before. Not only did I experiencing the mental hospital’s patients (ex: self harming in the corner of the gym and screaming during night) but also the events that took place after I got back.
I agree but disagree because they would learn who actually has these issues but once the mental hospital prescribes you meds you’ve never been on.. it gives more of an excuse to say you developed Tourette’s. (Actual thing that happened during my time there 🫠) (she was 18… and didn’t actually have it ._.)
@@Xero.mp3 Damn that’s messed up, I was fortunate to be able to go to a very small mental hospital. Unfortunately though when you are surrounded by disturbed individuals, you do witness things that can be traumatic. I have them pushed down so deep that it’s hard to remember them, or I was just really out of it.
These people faking disorders for clout and praise really are weakening REAL support for these conditions and the people who REALLY have them
Absolutely, my friend...EXACTLY the same as all of these TQIA+ grifters/hangers-on (with their freaky-coloured hair, septum piercings, excessive tattoos, etc - much like a freaking TikTok uniform now) have truly messed things up for REAL transsexuals, of whom I knew several back in the '90s, when I was an avid fan of the gay scene in Melbourne...it completely sucks for the genuine folk, the same as al of the GoFundMe cheats have done for truly deserving VICTIMS...
Tourettes fakers have gotten so bad that I have been called one. I (very rarely) have tics when I'm anxious or stressed, and one time it happened at school and i got sent to the office for "faking tourerres" during class
That is horrible
Did you take action?
exactly this. i HARDLY EVER tic, and when i do, it's something minor (usually), and when i do, i almost always get 'called out' for being a liar and i feel absolutely horrible about it, because i cant control it. like. ok
I once got tardive dyskinesia from some medicine I was taking which caused violent and sharp head tilts that actually caused neck pain. My doctor told me it could be permanent so I was very lucky it reversed when I stopped the medication. But during the month or two I had it, I got told I was being insensitive and to stop "faking tourettes". When I tried to tell them it's not tourettes and instead was tardive dyskinesia and that there were different types movement disorders, they said "wow you did you research"
Research???? I got diagnosed by a doctor wdym research????

YESSS CATLYN IS THE BEST
My 20 year old son has severe autism, to the point he will never ever be able to live on his own. He will always be with me or his father or perhaps his brother.
He does not act like that.
He sits there and barely speaks. He only speaks if spoken to, or he's repeating something he's been watching.
He does not go bat shit, saying stuff like "omg I'm autistic can you tell TEEHEE SO QUIRKY MUCH FUN"
It breaks your heart as a parent. Also we had to pull him out of school in the 8th grade because his teachers were awful to him and stole his Ritalin and then said we didn't send any. That makes me feel like I failed him somehow.
Please don’t feel like you failed your son. Our adult son has Aspberger’s. Fortunately, his experiences through school were positive. I’m sorry you and your son went through that but you are being a GOOD mom by advocating for him and being his voice, as it were. You pulled him out of school for his own sake. I never thought our son would ever live on his own either but as he gotten older, he’s 24 now, things slowly changed. He still lives at home but works full time and even holds three college degrees. He even recently got his driver’s license. It took three tries. Point being, these are all things we never thought he’d do. Things change. Have hope and continue to be the good mom that you are.
As a 22 year old autistic person I appreciate you mentioning this. I feel like no one really mentions people who fake autism and it was a huge thing for a long time. It’s made me really bitter and I try not to see if it’s still happening. I’m not sure if the “quirkiness” of it has worn off for them yet or if the reality and weight of the label has set in but god if I could self-UNdiagnose I would. It’s so draining and can be so devastating
It’s obvious no one cares about differences or disabilities when it comes to the reality but love to wear a label for a glimpse of attention if they can get it.
You didn’t fail your son; teachers were horrible to me too ): it’s just normal even though it shouldn’t be. You protected him in the best way you could and that was by getting him away from them. I’m sorry that happened to you both but that guilt shouldn’t fall on your shoulders it should fall on theirs - but I have a feeling they aren’t capable of feeling any
@bellah8393 over 10 years ago in 2013 AsPergers was removed from the DSM. The doctor it was named after was a na[banned word interupter]zi and aspergers is considered offensive to many people on the spectrum. It's now considered low support needs ASD.
I know I'm so late to this but I wanted to say you didn't fail him. You did what's best for him. He's lucky to have a parent like you. Hope your family is doing well❤
All the work de-stigmatize mental disorders so people would accept and listen to those of us that suffer, only to have these clout chasers come along and discredit disorders once more really pisses me off!
Not only the disorder fakers, but the "autism moms" and "adhd moms" shilling pyramid scheme "miracle cure" scams is insane too!
As a Vet with ptsd this makes me sick. Like every Egirl saying "My boyfriend yelled at me one time now I have PTSD." Oh fuck off. People like that take away from people who do have it.
Lmao everybody be developing Munchausen syndrome from tiktok
I feel like a certain percentage of this is awkward creative kids at a cringey life stage, as well as kids / young adults who need more real life social interaction. I bet a lot of these people could get very good at writing stories / drawing characters / acting / making short films. TikTok is sort of stealing their creative potential by encouraging them to use it for clout. If they put it into practicing real skills and doing projects alone or with other people, that investment would grow and benefit them throughout life
I have no doubt that lot of these kids believe they have these disorders, it's easy to get caught up with being in an 'interesting' group, especially at the ages that most of them appear to be. I'm guessing a lot of them will grow out of it and be seriously embarrassed about their old videos someday.
"...I don't want to make it seem depressing and terrifying..."
What...You mean make it look "real"?
Seriously, if this person has it, they should show all sides to the disorder. Because that IS what TikTok-xic needs.
9:29 OMG 😮😂🤦🏻♀️ DO THESE PEOPLE (children) HAVE PARENTS!? Like seriously though… I’d be horrified if my kid was publicly, posting shit like this… Definitely need more involvement! 😢
I will never understand how someone would WANT to live life on hard difficulty.
Imagine WANTING trauma.
Imagine WANTING to become a social outcast for things you cannot change.
Absolutely disgusting
They see it as an excuse to not improve themselves or alter their behavior. It's a "get out of jail free" card for their immature or inappropriate actions or behaviors. They never have to admit failure or wrongdoing, "it's not their fault". Or so they think.
I don't think people would pay attention to what is engraved on glasses when there is a great big metal disc hanging from their nose. On a serious note with all these TikTokers, with the amount of metal that in their head are they been effected by the 5G network antennas?
it’s funny that a lot of them do have piercings and a lot of tattoos but in videos they’re so “uncontrollably ticking…” how tf did they get those piercings and tatts? they’re just lying it’s painful to watch😭
I saw some kids on a stream tell a streamer they were autistic for forgeting to text back.
Bothered me quite a bit they really tried convincing this guy he has autism. They are really reaching with symptoms lately.
Why do most people that have a "disorder" always dress "alternative" colored hair ,chokers, piercings
As someone who used to be one of these fakers, I’d first of all, like to apologize. Whilst I never went public with it and it was kinda just something I told myself to make myself feel better. The best thing I did to fit in was to stop trying to be popular, and to find people who like stuff I do. Sure I only have like 6ish friends but that’s okay
You admitting what you did, why you did it, and apologizing, shows growth and maturity.👏👏👏👏
You should feel proud of yourself. You did the right thing. 🤙

@@arcaneoflight Thank you kindly
I have very minor motor tics, they're from a nice mix nerve damage and anxiety and get worse when I am tired or more anxious of course. Anyhow, I was at a dinner with my friend who has diagnosed Tourettes for his birthday. We were sat at a table near this group of teens/young adults and one of them was HAMMING it up. My friend at one point turned and said "really?"
This idk 17 year old girl decided to argue with him about her Tourettes. When he said that we actually had it, she goes "okay, tic then." The audacity of some of these fakers is actually funny to me.
These TikTok tourette’s fakers are so frustrating! So sorry that happened to your friend, I know how aggravating this can be.
They can have my C-PTSD (or OSDD, still in the diagnosis process), it is SO FUN AND QUIRKY HAHAHAHA MAN I LOVE DISSOCIATING AND CONSTANT FLASHBACKS TO CHILDHOOD TRAUMA HAHAHAHA COME ON GUYS HAVE FUN WITH ME
I’ve never used TikTok, but I imagine it goes something likes this:
“My disorders are more believable than yours.”
End scene.
*Stares at fakers in Plague Doctor* Oh, you really have this disorder? *Pulls out pliers and saw* I have a cure for that.
The amount of people that self diagnose based off TikTok videos from random strangers is wild. I went to get neuropsych testing on the recommendation from my psychiatrist and the first thing they asked me was “Did you come here because of TikTok?” 🤦🏻♀️
because unfortunately the two i was there to be tested for are very common ones on TikTok.
I live with PTSD and mania, and a few other things. It is absolute HELL, and it disgusts me that they can just turn off the pain, the suffering, the trauma, and panic attacks the SECOND they turn off the camera.
It wasn’t that long ago that people didn’t tell anyone who didn’t need to know, about their mental health. Honestly, it’s not better now. I was, and still am, afraid to tell people in my actual real life about my mental health. It’s no because of the stigma. Now, it honestly sounds like it makes people more popular now. It’s because not everyone needs to know something personal. If someone thought I was faking in high school, it was because they didn’t know how a mental illness looked in real life. Ignorance can be educated. If someone thinks I’m faking my problems now, it’s because people actually do fake it, and put it online, and we refuse to do anything about it. That stings a bit more, but like I said, not everyone needs to know everything about you. Things like Tourette’s is harder to keep private but you can wait to bring it up and just mention ‘sorry. I have ticks’ and move on. Usually they won’t ask more than they need to know, and you can say ‘I don’t like talking about it more than necessary.’
I was diagnosed with did when I was younger. I dont believe them. I do disassociate, but I dont become a different person. It's more like I go into auto pilot. Then when I come out of it it's like I just lost a bit of time. I still did my job or whatever it was that stressed me out. I just dont remember what I was doing. I so much prefer that to when I go into zone out mode. Cus i dont get anything done durring that. It makes me feel really dumb when someone at work had to snap me out of it. Luckily i dont do either as much the older i get.
Some of these DID tiktoks give me the feeling of back in the day when you'd join a RPG chatroom... 😅 maybe that's just my own bias lmao
Right? And OSDD 1b exists where there is more communication and less of an amnestic wall but all these TikTok’s just feel like roleplay and cosplay 😅
Interesting how they all have ticks while they are alone, at home, or in a secluded public place (restaurant booth). I'd like to see them "in the wild" around people.
Honestly I was questioning if she was even really on a date or just out alone recording and making up stories…
In high school a kid in one of my classes had an older brother who died because his Tourette’s. I won’t disclose what happened but he was outside.
As someone with OSDD, this makes me really sad. I went through alot to just get diagnosed and battle the complete isolation I forced myself into because my parents never taught me about mental disorders, none of my mates knew either so when the symptoms started to show, I ignored them and feared them, I'm now just starting to cope with it. All of my hard work goes down the drain when these kids pretend to be on the D.I.D spectrum
Support mental health research and cures for heavily destructive disabilities.
As someone that's diagnosed with tourettes, went to therapist, neurologists, tested like a guinea pig. I don't understand why people want to fake having tourettes. This shit sucks
Exactly, being tested for various things including tumors and seizures just to make sure it wasn’t something else 💀
As a 39 yr old woman diagnosed with DID it is scary and it is depressing! We suffer every min of every day. We also don't switch like that either. I didn't name my personalities they were given to me like I did with my father who also suffered from the same disorder. These kids are delusional!!!
Hugs for you. I've only seen it happen to my dad once and he was a stranger and I was a stranger to him. It was scary. Why anyone wears this like a crown is just insulting and gross.
These kids have never struggled. They were never bullied as a kid. I'm 25 I was in the special class as a kid. I had an iep. I WAS bullied. I was literally jumped as a kid. I legitimately had to fight for my life sometimes. *early 2000s kids were worse than today. Now they do it online and it can easily be proven. B4 that it was verbal and physical. *
I totally agree when I was diagnosed just after my first child was born, I was petrified, I didn’t want scare anyone around me, I get ashamed when one comes out I want to hide in my room, and I’m nearly 50 now. These alters are nasty and I have tried to kill my self as I want it all to go away.
There are people that seek negative attention. I dated one and she left me because I was too nice to her.
Ppl need to stop faking disorders. Like fr. They think that they are cool but their really not
You guys notice that almost all of em wear glasses. When I started to see it I cant unsee it anymore... Weird right?
I have tourette's myself. I have very minor tics. I have occasional head, twitch and occasional eye twitch so much so most people don't notice it until they do. I don't like to talk about it but people faking for clout makes me sad sometimes. What a world we live in
as someone with tics (neurologist diagnosed) people that fake tics tend to say theres no treatment at all for them or no way to control them, but in reality there are medications doctors will put you on if you actually have tics. Pimozide is one of them, it definitley helped, i had to come off it because of other medical conditions but there definitly are treatment options out there.

It makes me sad seeing these young people making themselves repellent! It feels like they are withdrawing from participating in society, and I wonder if they feel inadequate. Because they aren’t! Everyone has nice features they can be proud of
@@elusivemayfly7534 I think it's because literally nobody wants to live in this society that our overlords have forced on us. It's not healthy, is not natural, it's not beneficial to anyone but the tops wallets. It's disgusting and repulsive and it's pushing everyone away and apart.
Our "favorite" DID faker also has autism, tourrettes, DID, ADHD, ADD she basically collected all the disorders from the DSM and ICD
As an actual autistic, it's just shameful to fake disorders just for the clout or because it's trendy.
I'm not diagnosed cus tbh I've never been to the doctors about it, and for years never really associated it with Tourette's. But I have had painful ticks since I was maybe 19 years old and I am now 36. I mainly get them in my jaw and muscles in the front of my neck. My right arm and leg too which in the past has resulted in injuries. I used to get them in my face which wasn't great and had a period of time that I would often fall from them. And people really made fun of me badly for it. I don't have any control over them, I just have better days than others. I asked a person I was close to if they ever noticed them and they said yes but didn't want to say anything. So it makes me sad to see people faking these things. Why would you want to suffer.

Pinks my favorite color. I can’t wait for TikTok to be banned!
As a mother of a son with nonverbal autism I appreciate you raising awareness. People who fake mental illness take resources from those who actually need them. It’s a very serious problem.
They arent faking that they have a disorder, what they are faking is they have a specific disorder that they wish they had. It is hard to argue that these people are not mentally ill, so I think they should get treatment for their actual mental illness and attention seeking behavior. I doubt they want to receive treatment for narcissistic personality disorder though.
What PD would attention seeking fall under? I assume maybe borderline or histrionic, but is it a symptom of any other disorders do you know?

Great video, these people honestly need more help than they're "getting".
I am so glad you brought up the kid who really has Tourette's. That poor kid suffers so much physically, mentally, and socially. It is so disrespectful to pretend you have a disorder to be different or "quirky." It degrades the experience of people who really have it.

The nose ring is an epidemic
I have actually shopped on Amazon whilst asleep. On two occasions I’ve ordered some odd stuff and not remembered at all, and I rarely drink( only one beer normally if I do). I definitely don’t have DID, I just sleep shop. It happens! My husband tells everyone we have been lucky I have only bought small things !!
I'm sorry for the woman in the end. :/
(The one explaining the consequences of faking medical/psychiatric conditions.)
My girlfriend has tics (not tourettes tho, its not the only tic disorder) and her tics are dangerous to her. She has this one tic where she swallows air and that made her choke a few times and it is NOT fun and then some 14 year old on TikTok do some quircky little movements and make it look 'fun' while my girlfriend's tics are a danger to her health.
1:00 this is how you ask for support. ASKING this is the best request of support or membership I’ve ever heard if I had money I would get the highest one possible

Sir Ablaze this was one of the best vids! Loved it!

As a person who is diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder, a social disorder which makes it hard to socialize)
this is very disrespectful, don't fake your disorders on the internet. (I also have other disorders, but I don't want to get accused as faking the disorders, even though I'm diagnosed with them)
(I also love the content, keep up with this lovely content.)
In my class there is a guy with tourettes. I didn't really notice it, I simply thought he was stuttering but no he was speaking while having tics. Our class respects him and he even is friends with the popular kids.
I feel like I stepped into the Shivering Isles every time I see these Tiktok videos.
I randomly speak like a robot, I don't know if this disorder has a name but I want a flag. Beep Beep Boop
This kids doesn't remember who bought the stuff 😂😂😂 I think when they will discover Alzheimer, they will have a blast 😂😂😂😂
I used to joke that I have honesty tourettes(sp?) Because sometimes I just couldn't help myself in just saying honest things as they sprung to mind.
But I found out after taking the RADS test, that it's a sign of autism.
D.I.D. is horrific to live with. My case is not as severe as I know others are as my triggers are so very specific and ever since moving out of my home state I rarely come across them. However it does not erase the impact it has on daily life. Dissociating is still extremely debilitating and causes me to have to sit down and hide surrounded by a bunch of stimulus because of the fear of switching and the feeling of not feeling real. I am absolutely terrified to live alone as my alters have tried to kill the body 11 times throughout childhood as a way of coping and I thought it was sleep walking. There are scars on my body due to the amount of times someone decided that burning was the best way to deform ourselves. My relationships are not normal. DID is something that is not only formed due to repeated trauma but a lack of stability in parental/guardian relationships which creates a sense of comfort and discomfort at the same time. I didn't ask for the disorder and I had convinced myself in earlier years that it was Schizophrenia. My trauma was always downplayed by those I confided in and have been called possessed by no small number of people. I do not care if people believe I am faking or just wanting attention because I know my truth and it is a truth so horrific that I wish upon no other human in the world.
It seems u know a lot about disassociation, i have a question if thats ok. Not about did but disassociation, is that a coping mechanism? Does it happen that people who were victims of abuse about 4 yrs ago continue to have spells of dissociation causing them to be forgetful, unconcentrated and confused alot of the time? My question is about teens, not adults. Is this curable? Is there a speciffic tx for it? Thanks
it's litterly so embarrassing being diagnosed with autism now (i was diagnosed with it at age six) bc now you get people assuming automatically you're faking bc tiktok kids decdied it was the lastest fashion trend.
it's all fun and games until going outside is litterly impossible v
because every little noise hurts, shopping is impossible because lights are too bright and theres too many people. Things actually affect you and make life ten times more difficult.
they all want to be diagnosed with something until it actually becomes a chore to have. idk if im explaining right but the TLDR of it is, it sucks people fake these things.
@ABLAZE okey i have a serious question. I worked in human services/casework for 13 or so years. I did the gamut. Latency aged children. Teens (boy that was fun) as well as mums in recovery and men with disabilities. So as you could guess, i had tons of clients. I legit had one man who had severe autism. Basically non verbal. Sensory issues. Spitting and lets just say bathroom issues. But i dont think i had anyone with tourette syndrome. If i sent you an email, could i ask you a few questions? I understand if you aren't comfortable. Some stranger on the internet asking mad serious questions lol. Anyway i get a chuckle from your vids. Thank you!
I’m so glad ABLAZE is making videos calling out fakers. I’m 42 and have Tourette’s. I had a mild case and didn’t tic much but was diagnosed with a "reactivation" as mine are pretty bad now. It’s not fun to be stared at, pointed at and recorded. I can’t drive anymore, can’t work at my job (worked in customer service), can’t go out to nice places, quiet places, I feel like a prisoner in my home most the time and always so exhausted.
19:19 the people who randomly switch disorders or add another I feel like are more certain to have Munchausen's, because they want to have what's most popular and more disorders to get more sympathy.
I’m a type 1 diabetic and CAN CONFIRM we have our own special hell. it entails still needing insulin in the afterlife. The ultimate torture
Could you explain this comment because I'm very confused ? 🤔
"shes reading the comments and looking at the camera at the same time" made me chuckle
22:06 holy hell I died at this part 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think that is the funniest thing out of all your videos that I’ve watched…I’m still crying 😂😂😂
Ok I have to speak up here. Tourettes is not a f***ing joke. My son has been diagnosed with it. When he was young, he'd get tics that bothered him so much they would cause him extreme pain. One of his tics was in his foot, and he'd involuntarily stretch his pinky toe out over and over until it hurt. Once, it got so annoying to him that he started stomping on that foot with his other foot shouting 'stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it!!!' I think he was around 5 at the time. He didn't understand what was happening. The worst tic he has is one where he kind of sucks his chest in repeatedly, and it makes a soft kind of 'grunting' sound - but not so soft that it's not noticeable. It makes his chest and throat really, really sore. As a child, if he got a cough, the cough would turn into a tic - so between the cough and his asthma, combined with the tic, doctors would put him on codeine - because to avoid the cough tic he would start scratching himself (a replacement behaviour he developed himself). He'd end up with wounds all over his chest and arms from scratching. Now, as an adult, he keeps either a guitar or drumsticks in his hands whenever he's not working to distract himself, and if it's a bad day he'll spend hours at the drum set. And the side effects of the meds for Tourettes aren't horrible - they're quite minimal. So to those who are faking it? F**k you. Only 0.3% of people in the U.S. have Tourettes. How is it that most of you seem to be on the internet?
I wonder why my neurologist has never mentioned this medicine that I could take to stop my tics...
Also, please teach me how to make my tics look cute and quirky. All of mine currently just cause me a lot of pain and make me look deranged in public.
My most aggressive tic includes jerking my head to the side so hard that it feels like my brain crashes into my skull.
Help a girl out, 13 year old neurologists of tictok.
Isn’t it convenient that they have “mediocre ticks” when they’re out in public, on a date where the dramatic ticks would be embarrassing?
It's hard living with these fakers me and my little sis has autism and we can't drive or do stuff well i can't do stuff and we both can't drive true story I got diagnosed at a young age and didn't start experiencing it when I was in highschool and it been a burden to my life ever since
Is that a new haircut, Ablaze? Looks nice!
Edit: Oh, it’s probably just that those headphones show your ears! 😄
3:35 Clawed beauty doesn't fake disorders she brings awareness to them.
It's specific, not pacific.
Too far. Unless, you are going TO a place called FAR.
I had a friend who swore up and down she had x, y, z mental illnesses on top of z, y, z sexuality. She was attention starved. If she were gen-z, I guarantee she'd be one of these weirdos on TikTok. Unfortunately, she sought out hard drugs after high school and has a baby from a stranger after prostituting herself for $$. No idea what she's up to now, but the silence of zero news is typically an indication of zero success on her end. Don't feel sorry for her, she was a horrible person who liked manipulating people and causing drama and distress.
Sounds like she did have mental illness, just not the ones she was claiming & needs serious help
I was yelling, *“FIX YOUR NOSE RING!!!”*
I do not have tourettes I live with what personally tics from brain damage and I could never imagine doing this for attention
Dude the girl at the restaurant is literally there by herself filming herself with no one else there. There is no boyfriend
I like to think that the people that fake tourettes to an obnoxious level, others assume they're bugging out on drugs. I work at a gas station and the behavior of local methheads sorta match the kind of shit they do.
That tempest girl is insane
Nah,just a really stupid little girl.😂😁
I miss when kids were pretending they were reincarnated wolves 😭
Great. You saying"return of tourettes" has now triggered that song "return of the mac" only with the words "return of tourettes". LoL
2:04 Didn't realise Abalze and Retro were together
That's cute
Oh, Tempest. You're becoming a mainstay. You and all your douchey alters.😊
I would love to actually give her mental illness and see if the little girl still thinks it’s cool then.
Did you have to reupload this video or something? I feel like I already saw this video so the whole time I was watching it I was questioning my sanity lol
Imagine them and their families seeing those videos 10 years later.
You um… you used the wrong too, you used to instead.
So it's too much effort to pretend to be trans now.
Is this re-uploaded? I feel like I've watched before
Yeah, I think he said it was taken down, and he had to re-upload it.😊
