mental problems

Yeh there are lots of people like that.Many do it for the money!
Money as in government benefits!
Or there are those who do it for attention seeking,trying to make out their a victim,thus seeking attention...& at at the end o the day there is fizz all wrong with them..Oh & most dont even take meds,their word seems to be enough!

This is the tendency with these people to behave differently intentionally as they know no body will believe that they doing it intentionally because they know about their conditions. Virtually they take advantage of their being mentally sick.

I know someone like that. We used to be very good friends. She was in a car accident several years ago and she acts like she still has tons of problems. One is that she says that her clavical (collar bone) is resting up against her neck and that if it moves she will suddenly be dead. Well guess what? I fell out of a tree about 50 years ago and landed on one foot. I have a clavical that is resting up against my neck too and I was told a chiropracter could straighten it out in three sessions....and not one doctor ever told me I would die from it....also she pretends to have dizzy spells....do you think any of this has to do with the fact that she sued them and the law suit isn't settled yer? LOL

I think some people do use it as an excuse and too many people stay on medication for too long and then become dependant on it instead of trying to make the effort to get off of it.

they may be using it as an excuse but they also might not know exactly how they feel and may appear differently than what they feel.. they may also be talking and taking their info from the times where they were at their worst.. or they could just be trying to overly prove their point that there is something wrong with them because they dont think people believe them
