Mental health problems

[The Don]

Possibly so, but that's no reason to withhold genuine help when it's asked for. If any of these things are true then she does need some of the information in this thread, and if it is all made up for attention then that's another kind of mental health issue which also needs looking into, especially on a scale such as you are claiming it to be. The only thing that comes of saying "lol ur fakin bye" is that the social stigmas attached to mental health issues are compiled and internalised, making it very difficult not only for sufferers to get help but to even make the decision to do so in the first place

If you want help, you would go to the doctors or look on a forum related to that specific topic which is what I've done in the past rather than posting it on a habbo forum where the best response I'll get is "Go to the doctors". My post isn't stopping anyone else helping her (which is ridiculous in itself since a diagnoses coming from anyone whose under qualified is particularly dangerous).

Your posts suggest that one shouldn't help her, that she isn't worth helping, and that her problems are either false or laughable. It's not always easy to go to a doctor straight away, especially with these sorts of things, and having a bit of support even from strangers (sometimes especially from strangers) can be extremely important in making the decision to seek professional help. Also you said word for word "she hasn't got anything wrong with her", which is inherently untrue and frankly a horrible stance to take just because you clearly do not understand mental health concerns

Yes, my post does suggest that, as I do think her problems are false, which I've said numerous times. I haven't prevented anyone from responding to her, I have no power to do so, i'm simply tossing statistics out there to show others why I think what I do. I didn't see you offering her any help during the 5 stone drama so it's slightly contradictory and hypocritical to say "If any of these things are true then she does need some of the information in this thread, and if it is all made up for attention then that's another kind of mental health issue which also needs looking into". I'm not sure what you're basing my apparent lack of knowledge on but nobody here is qualified to give her advice other than 'go to the doctors''.

The whole 5 stone thing was entirely different as it was making an actual mockery of eating disorders with actual evidence against her claims as opposed to just conjecture, and even so I never told people that she didn't have any problems and didn't need help, so not seeing the contradiction here. As for your lack of knowledge, that's clear from your absolute dismissal of the situation and and potentially damaging rhetoric, and qualifications have nothing to do with any of the advice given in this thread - it's all been given from experience and secondhand knowledge, which do not require degrees

I don't know why you'd ever be so hell bent on making Cerys look as bad as possible if you did know how these issues can affect people

Then you're lying about being 5 stone, because anything under a BMI of 15 is extremely noticeable and enough to get you sectioned and 5'8" 70lbs is a BMI of 10.6, which I don't think is even possible to survive on

Unless you're an amputee or something

I personally think this is making a mockery out of schizophrenia... I'm not 'hell bent' on anything, I just can't stand watching people faint disorders to get attention which in turn discredits the actual problem and people who genuinely suffer from it. I do know how these issues affect people as I've witnessed it first-hand.

She didn't mention schizophrenia until it was suggested to her that she may be expressing some schizoid tendencies, and even then all she said about it was that she'd look it up. This is the thread of a young girl who's worried about what's going on in her head, and frankly if it is all fabricated then the level of intensity with which she keeps it up and holds to her stories (even in the face of evidence to the contrary sometimes) actually suggests that it really is a case of schizophrenia and not a mockery. No good comes of shaming people into not wanting to ask for help

Everything described in her first post can be found on a quick Google search of schizophrenia symptoms. Maybe this is all legit, maybe everything she has said in the past has been legit, but I don't buy it. I'm not going to derail this thread any more than I already have done but it's not unheard of for people to give accurate depictions of an illness when they in fact do not suffer from it. If everything she has said is true, then there is no shame is asking for help as she knows she's not lying and everything I'm saying is incorrect.

Regardless of what your mother says, the best thing to do is see your GP, local health advisor, or school nurse. Anyone who is medically qualified like that will definitely not take what you're saying lightly. Mental health problems are serious and are always looked in to. Even if it's nothing, they will be glad that you're safe rather than sorry.
