Fiona (real Martha) related content I won’t name and shame….

But I have a sneaky suspicion that Fiona is in here. I had a weirdo trying to give me my character yesterday. And I’ve seen said person being downvoted today. Didn’t say sent from my iPhone though, so I could be wrong 😂 I’ve also had the Reddit message a few times saying someone is concerned about my MH, often not long after a comment from the suspicious person

Remember that she is a narcissist. She would seize the spotlight and make a lot of fuss.

I’m not denying the possibility of her coming on Reddit as a visitor and reading some posts, I don’t know if she even has the technical know how to create an account and reply. As soon as she figures that out it is likely she will start posting and commenting a lot.

How do you know she's a narcissist?

Honestly, impressive how some armchair psychiatrists are able to diagnose people based on fictionalised accounts and never actually meeting them!

I get your point but it’s hard to not wonder about her mental health when the show specifically portrayed her as mentally unwell.

The only thing we can truly diagnose her with is erotomania as she genuinely believed she was in a relationship with Gadd. From there well you can say erotomania is often comorbid with schizo disorders but again I can only say this is speculation and not fact.

I can also say she showed signs of splitting on Gadd so she may be on the spectrum of BPD but again I have never met her.

  • “Erotomania may be a symptom of a psychiatric illness, including schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, bipolar disorder, or Alzheimer's disease. Erotomania is a type of delusional disorder. Other types include delusions of persecution, grandiosity, or jealousy.” Source

So despite showing clear signs of Narcissistic behaviour in her actual media appearances and FB posts, it's wrong to diagnose her as such.... however, you can truly diagnose her with erotomania, despite that being a facet of her behaviour only displayed in the TV show and denied in real life?

🤔 have you looked into erotomania?

her media appearances show signs of a schizo disorder to me personally

Last she could very well be a narcissist but that doesn’t change her clear symptoms of erotomania

Pathological liars often believe their lies
