BIID

So I just read an article about a lady with BIID (Body Identity Integrity Disorder). This disorder seems to be a psychological problem in which they feel as though one of their limbs need to be removed. I find it pretty weird and disturbing how someone would want to do such a thing. With the lady in the article, she had always wanted to remove her legs when at the age of six. Usually little girls have tea parties and stuff, but not this one. Her playtime consisted of pretending to be an amputee. This is just so crazy. There are so many people with weird psychological problems now days. Well, she goes on an on about her trying to get her leg amputated and how happy she was after she got one cut off. It got pretty depressing for me to see people like this. It’s weird how the mind works. Here’s a link if you want to read.

By the way, I’m not even sure if the story is made up. Though, there were people commenting about hearing similar stories.
