Look up Kelly ronahan. She had that one disorder where you fake medical things so she would make wounds on her self, have them get infected, etc. you can find all the pics somewhere online, the timeline pics are gone though I think. She put poop in one wound so it could get infected. It got badly infected and she got her legs amuputated.
I just thought about that when I saw this. You are right though it is very hard.
Edit:
Just some info if you're curious
I saw some images of her legs and they were giving me a feeling of trypophobia. Also, a bit of an unrelated fun fact, but did you know that the spatial frequencies generally found in images that elicit trypophobia are similar to those found in some dangerous animal species (such as the patterns found on some venomous snake species)? For context, spatial frequency refers to the rate of changes in stimulus across a space. It is measured using black and white gratings that may look like this:
There is a hypothesis that trypophobia might actually be an evolutionary adaption, with it helping us to avoid some dangerous animal species.
Anyway, I saw a video of her after she got her legs amputated and she seemed so happy about it. It was concerning, to say the least. I'm curious as to what pushes a person to that point. I hope that recover whatever it is that causing this behaviour. It's clear that she isn't doing well mentally. I'm also disappointed at the news for writing an article on her despite the fact that part of why this even happened, to begin with, to begin with was because of her trying to gain attention.
