Faking a disorder or any type of thing---r*pe or ab*se or whatever--is in itself a cry for help. It means that there IS some kind of pain that person is carrying around and the person is needing some kind of attention.....

I have recently come back from the hospital and I have seen, experienced, some really hurting people, myself included or I wouldn't have been there, but one thing I did see was that those who were hurting the most were way quieter about their pain than those that seemed to want alot more attention. But the reality was, that regardless, EVERYONE was hurting.
So, I guess in a rambling sort of way--does it REALLY matter?? Or do I care for and be empathetic to ANYONE who claims to be hurting...and know that on some level they really are......
Just my own thoughts
