I’ve been reading through to see if anyone would mention munchausen! Do we have another Dede Blanchard on our hands?I received treatment for EUPD which is what the professionals in the UK call BPD. They don't use that name for it, at least all the ones I dealt with didn't.
I didn't match the full criteria for diagnosis and was advised to have an ASD assessment.
Part of the diagnosis requirements amd treatment are STEPPS course and intensive therapy, the whole meaning of it is unstable emotional regulation.. a full on personality disorder without going through all the steps they wouldn't diagnosis it and they definitely would've put her on psychologist prescribed mood stabilisers. Like someone above said it's not trendy or something to proudly claim, i genuinely believe Kara is claiming to have it without actually having a clinical diagnosis she's probably watched tiktoks and diagnosed herself like she has with the multiple other things she claims to have.
She isn't BPD, OCD, ASD or even ADHD none of those conditions have been consistently seen within her behaviour. She got manic when she got money, she got emotional after a break up.
ASD/ADHD would've been present amd consistent from birth and BPD/OCD develop through life and impact every aspect of life. She's so selective and functional.
Munchausen syndrome seems more like her, where a person fakes illness to gain attention and sympathy, it's not just a caregiver who makes out someone else is sick, it can be for themselves.
PIP isn't just having an illness or disability, it's having one the leaves you impaired, unable to function where there's more bad days and daily struggles than good days and productivity.
Also to add claiming to be unstable while being the solo carer to a child isn't a flex. They would've referred family support via social services and ensured she had treatment and medication via a psychologist.
Where do we go to report her for benefit fraud?
& why hasn’t she mentioned anymore about that competition she entered & HAND SEWED an entire dress in 1 weekend?! Oh her poor arthritis she claims to have in her hands
