Addicted to being sad: Teenage girls with invisible illnesses - known as 'Spoonies' - post TikToks of themselves crying or in hospital to generate thousands of likes - as experts raise concerns over internet-induced wave of mass anxiety​

Thousands of teens are banding together on social media as part of the movement, which also encourages them to lie to doctors in order to get the diagnosis that they want. Posting videos of themselves crying or lying listless in hospital beds racks up hundreds of thousands of likes in some cases, with dozens of comments supporting the 'spoon theory'. Experts say that while 'functional disease is a real and chronic problem' it is often not the one the teens 'think they have.'


attention-whoring is officially a disease

I hope they'll talk with a psychologist about their "illness" and that the psychologist sends them to mental wards. It would be so funny to see this trend backfire
