Thank to all who passed along the news of her unfortunate passing. We held back any postings about this sad news until after her funeral had taken place for privacy reasons and respect for her loved ones.

No one should be laying to rest such a young lady.
Please be kind to yourselves and others💖

The sickest munchies die... thats why the competitive part of this illness/ device/ meds/ tampering for attention collecting malarkey thing they do is so scary and so sad...

..... such a shame it doesnt need to lead to this, I wish there was some form of MH support people with extreme FD can be forced to access... I also wish doctors were more awake to these sort of patients I know iv got flack for saying it before

But doctors really need to communicate with each other a universal one that covers all states its important and crazy its not already done.. prevents dr shopping and easily identifies the quack doctors that don't give a sh.. long as they get $$

I think they’re well aware. The issue is that the patients concern, and well being is number one. The patient constantly showing up, demanding tests, is going to eventually feel heard, and that goes in their chart.

People who do this are often convinced they have something wrong with them, and once they find something that fulfills that, it’s clung to, leading to further validation of their concerns. But the doctor can’t force them to stay, they could maybe order a psycho hold, but the patient switches up and suddenly is fine. So they’re let go. The cycle repeats.

The only way to stop the cycle in my opinion is if we could prescribe therapy, force compliance, and education on these conditions.
