I confess, I have Munchhausen by Internet. I've never actually been depressed, OD'd on sleeping pills, or suffered a panic attack. In reality I am a deliriously happy, completely stable, healthy woman. Hell, I'm not even fat. My life is so perfect that I have to come to this board (and many others) and pretend to have problems. Does anyone know of a good Munchhausen by Internet board I could post on?
