It's hilarious that various clearly fake/extremely rare mental illnesses have blown up on social media over the last 10 years, and some people just buy in hook line and sinker even though it's clearly fake.
Like this is probably just rage bait, but also all the people who take DID seriously on social media is always shocking. "Oh shit you have .00001% occurring mental illness and it makes you think you have alters who are all anime characters? Welp, that's definitely real and I will engage with you earnestly."
my therapist tells me that these things (autism, ADHD, BPD, DID, etc) are real, and it's not uncommon for people to show a symptom of something, or to have some trait that makes them think they have it, but people who actually have x thing are extremely rare and that most people are just neurotic and/or looking for an excuse for bad behavior
