To be fair, some people who post like that truly ARE ill, just not in the way they say they are. They could have very neglectful family and friends and cope with it through the internet, or they could be a compulsive liar (which can also be caused by neglect or being ignored enough that a person feels a need to lie to get attention). Not to say your claims are invalid (I agree that many people online and on this site probably lie about their experiences or disorders), I just thought I’d point out that that can be an illness in its own way
IIN to assume that half of the users on this site aren't really ill?
