Do you have Body Integrity Identity Disorder?

Quote:

Body integrity identity disorder (BIID, also referred to as amputee identity disorder[1]) is a psychological disorder wherein people feel they would be happier living as an amputee, or being "transabled."[2][3][4] It is related to xenomelia, "the oppressive[clarification needed] feeling that one or more limbs of one's body do not belong to one's self".[5]

BIID is typically accompanied by the desire to amputate one or more healthy limbs to achieve that end. BIID can be associated with apotemnophilia, sexual arousal based on the image of one's self as an amputee. The cause of BIID is unknown. One theory states that the cause of BIID is a neurological failing of the brain's inner body mapping function (located in the right parietal lobe). According to this theory, the brain mapping does not incorporate the affected limb in its understanding of the body's physical form.[citation needed]

Woman says she is happier than ever after fulfilling lifelong wish of becoming blind

Quote:

NORTH CAROLINA – A North Carolina woman says she is happier than ever after she fulfilled her lifelong wish of becoming blind.

Jewel Shuping, 30, has Body Integrity Identity Disorder, according to Barcroft TV.

BIID is a condition in which able-bodied people believe they are meant to be disabled.

She told Barcroft TV that her fascination with blindness started when she was a child.

“By the time I was six I remember that thinking about being blind made me feel comfortable,” she said.

Shuping says that when she was a teenager, she started wearing thick black sunglasses, and even got her first cane when she was 18.

By the age of 20, Shuping says she was fluent in braille.

“I was ‘blind-simming’, which is pretending to be blind, but the idea kept coming up in my head and by the time I was 21 it was a non-stop alarm that was going off,” she told Barcroft TV.

Her need to lose her sight increased as she got older, and by 2006, she claims she found a psychologist who was willing to help her.

Shuping says the psychologist put numbing eye drops into her eyes, and then a couple of drops of drain cleaner.

“It hurt, let me tell you. My eyes were screaming and I had some drain cleaner going down my cheek burning my skin,” she said. “But all I could think was ‘I am going blind, it is going to be okay.”

No one is claiming here that this "BIID" is legitimate at all

You all get pressed over nothing.

Just because these one or two crazy people think they'd be happier if they were disabled doesn't mean that any significant group of people is glorifying it or fighting for BIID rights or any **** like that.

I feel bad for those people. It's too bad they didn't get help from people who could've actually helped them.
