Inventing And Believing Stories Posted: 04-07-07 04:03am
I had a girlfriend years ago who seemed
very nice, a bit eccentric. She did
exaggerate a bit too. years passed and
little by little she had told me many
things about her past, e.g. she claimed
her dad who was dead and was a builder
lived a secret live as a private dective.
She went off to study and said she was
studying medicine, even brough back the
books at weekend but was doing nothing of
the sort. many elabotate stories all to
test did i trust what she told me.
for the final year she led me to believe
she was diagnosed with lukemia and going
to die. did she believe this herself? she
watched as I cryed daily for her immenent
death, we went to doctors and hospitals, i
waited outside of course. All was to be a
big secret and of course when i couldn´t
go any further I told her friends and the
let me know her history of imgining
things.
I left never to talk again to her. what
mental disorded did she have? I did not
understand it and just said she was crazy.
any experience of this?

The hospital thing verges on Munchausen's,
but that doesn't sound like the main
issue. The main issue sounds like she
just likes messing with people, I wouldn't
say you could categorize this as anything
really.
