Fucking this shit!

Oh, and if you've ever accused someone of faking a mental illness you're scum who's perpetuating harm on disabled folks. Don't use our struggle to win your stupid internet fight. Many of us spent year terrified of speaking about what we were going through out of fear of someone like you. If somehow you thought you were doing it for us, now you know, so stfu.

Side note: I can't believe I actually need to say this, but if someone is faking an illness they have a mental illness. It may not be the one they are claiming to have, but you're still harming a disabled person in your fake pursuit of solidarity. This shit isn't fun, we don't do it to get attention, and anyone who thinks that has never had to deal with a chronic disability.
