So are those the images she was telling people to ask her for or are there other ones? Those didn't bother me anywhere near as much as the nerve for some reason.

I'm just a tad suspicious of a user who posts teased videos from Kelly, is active only on the munchie threads, and is apparently whiteknighting for Kelly now. I mean, really? "Concerned" and accusing others of "helping her to her grave"? That's totally Kelly-speak.

It seems likely to me that Kel didn't get nearly as much attention as she hoped for on her "ASK ME FOR GORE PIX" post. She was probably butthurt that no farmers cared enough to try to get the photos and post them, and so resorted to posting them here herself under the alt she uses to gossip about other munchies. I could be wrong, though.

Why did she take the video and relay the information "it's hard to pick", though? I guess that's directly in response to us? Even more suspicious that Kelly is sending us Kiwi-specific videos and messages.

Not saying you’re wrong exactly but:

1) Don’t think Kelly could have lasted that long without outing herself, she can’t last long without leaking crazy.
2) Pretty sure Kelly has had sock pockets since this account was made.
3) The way Kelly writes is more re.tarded

Is it suspicious.... probably
is it Kelly..... Doubt.

She’s severely mentally ill. That’s really all it is. I think we get desensitized to the term “mental illness” because we hear it used to describe depression, BPD, etc, but there are people out there that are genuinely just super fucked up. I think she has multiple issues going on, one being Munchausen, and in the new age of social media so many of them can get the attention they desire instantly and just keep pushing it further and further.

The amount of damage she does goes far beyond self-injury even discussed in literature. The only self-injury that goes that far is that I have heard of is in ley nasch disease which effects males only and has other distinctive palsy type features. Or those with congenital insensitty to pain who literally do not feel pai, half of what she does if she had any type of pain response would have her go into shock. There has to be something organic plus clearly highly psychotic going on for what she is capable of doing.

I agree with you on that and I have a theory. She may just be so psychotic that she doesn't feel the pain, or is in a dissociative state so that she doesn't recall doing it. I know KF's doesn't like to admit to the mental aspect of things in most cases of munchies but Kelly really is batshit. I know it's been stressed several times but the only thing that can truly help her at this point is if someone (a doctor preferably) commits her on suspicion that she is a direct threat to herself.

*Edited to say I can not find any articles supporting the link to psychosis numbing pain, but under psychosis, you would be more likely to inflict damage such as Kellys.*

information on a type of severe self-mutilation due to a type of schizophrenia

From the article:
"In contrast, major self-mutilation (MSM) is rare, usually only occurs in association with serious mental illness and often results in permanent loss of an organ or its function. The 3 main forms of MSM are ocular, genital, and limb mutilation. Patients who have removed an eye or cut off a limb are almost always psychotic, as are three-quarters of patients who severely injure their genitals. "

Even the more horrific self-harmers I've come across don't squick me out as much as Kelly does. Maybe because they're more deliberate, or because they're cleaner? I've heard of people inserting foreign objects into their bodies, as well as deliberately infecting themselves, but Kelly takes it to such an extreme level even by extreme standards. The fact that she's able to maintain a somewhat normal presentation throughout the whole thing gets to me too. She's not psychotic, she knows what she's doing, and self-harm and malingering are both fairly common, but she's just so... gross? I don't know. I used to follow that Becksvart girl on Tumblr and she'd write about how she'd plan to make one deep cut, get drunk, and spend hours working on it. Afterwards, she'd post about it in an almost prideful way? It was still easier to understand than Kelly. At least this chick had goals / restraint?

Idk, Kelly's just grossly fascinating.

She changed her Instagram name to "differentially_kelly". I would've suggested "horrifically_kelly" or "extremely_kelly", personally.

I'll admit to tin foiling up there, (and here) but let's entertain her idea of having multiple personalities (or switching personalities whatever she calls it) for a second, perhaps that's where the seemly normal kelly comes from during those times? So she could have a psychotic self-mutilating personality and then switch back out to regular kelly? Then maybe because regular Kelly is still a munchie instead of seeking help after a serious bout of self-mutilation she instead seeks attention from her peers?

I know that this is all just speculation but I'm honestly just trying to wrap my head around the level of fucked up that someone would have to be to dig a nerve out of their leg.

Most self-harmers, even the extreme ones, will do aftercare like cleaning and bandaging their wounds, or even go get stitches, because while they do want to damage their bodies, they don't want to lose the control they have over doing the damage themselves. Kelly... I don't even know. She seems to want to have control over her body, but relishes the idea that her body is inexplicably doing this to itself, and craves the pity and attention that being a medical mystery brings.

This is why I speculated that it could have been Major self-mutilation which while typically presents as a type of schizophrenia sounds a lot like kelly (i.e. loss of limb/genital mutilation).

Kelly uses the fact that shes a medical mystery to gain asspats and keep those followers engaged.

Now I've gone down a rabbit hole.

Googling major self mutilation munchausen syndrome makes me think that Kelly's behaviour is actually not all that rare in the context of munchausen syndrome. We find her so shocking because actual, full-blown munchausen syndrome is relatively uncommon, and the munchies we usually see on Instagram tend to be of at least average intelligence, so they're a bit more clandestine and deliberate in their fuckery. (Excluding Dani/mylifestruggles, who is a literal full blown retard, and Amanda Marnoff, who is clearly suffering from some sort of learning disability, but I don't think either of them have the drive to mutilate themselves to the degree that Kelly does.) Kelly is below average, perhaps not quite retarded, but definitely dull. She's intelligent enough to use social media, but not quite intelligent enough to disguise her behaviour.
 
I don’t think it matters much whether she feels pain or not. There’s an entire community that turns themselves into amputees because they feel like their limb(s) shouldn’t be a part of them. I don’t think kelly fits that group, but my point is that these people DO feel the pain but are so obsessed with removing the limb that it overrides their ability to think rationally and allows them to go through with it. She’s so obsessed with the attention and being a medical anomaly that she hyper focused on her legs and her goal is to do as much damage as possible and get as much attention as possible. There’s mentally ill patients who spend their days strapped to a bed so they don’t hurt themselves because they’re so batshit. Kelly is one of those that for some reason won’t be permanently strapped down.

That was the only article I found as well that even came close to what she does.

People with BiiD though that do that would not have allowed skin grafts, etc. They research how to remove something and do it and do not seek help unless they know it will be gone. I worked with someone with it who blinded themselves and they specifically waited to seek help until they knew the job was done. The attention seeking behavior Kelly does doesn't fit BiiD.
 
If we're throwing out theories how about delusional paracytosis? It's usually associated with people who think they have bugs under their skin or Morgellon's sufferers who think foreign objects are growing out of their skin just in Kelly's case every bump, lump or spot is bechets and she picks to get rid of it.
 
I did a little layman's research of my own, and I found an interesting article concerning the frequency of self-harming behaviors (specifically self-harm acts not associated with suicide attempts) in people with borderline personality disorder:

857291


So it could just be that Kelly's self-mutilation for attention is a visible symptom of her underlying personality disorder and not something separate like delusional parasitosis or dermatophilia/excoriation disorder. Now, I am not a mental health professional and I can't diagnose Kelly with anything, but it wouldn't surprise me if she were diagnosed with BPD. I see a lot of her behavior in this list:

Kelly could very well have BPD but she would be a very extreme case. Imagine all that munching and Kelly having something as normal as BPD? That would be hilarious.

Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me, either.

Plenty of people who have friends and family members with BPD actually describe some of the same behaviors we see from munchies in general, to a more mild extent. (Health complaints that always get them out of stuff they don’t want to do but never interfere with fun things, always needing to have some kind of pity-inducing problem, their problems always have to be worse than everyone else’s, etc.)

Combined with Kelly’s history of making up absurd stories where she’s the victim, and actively setting up situations where other people will fail or hurt her, I wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if she had a personality disorder. It might sound mundane at first, but she’s just on the extremely low-functioning end of things.
 
Forgot to check this thread for a while because i was so distracted by Yaniv, come back and vomit in my mouth at the thought of checking those spoilers. I learned my lesson the last time, fuck checking out some noodle looking ass nerve ripped from her leg.

That aside, since everyone is armchair psychologist-ing, i'll add my 2 cents:

I don't believe Kelly is psychotic, I think she is very aware of what she's doing. She is offering the pictures of her injuries to people on request now because she knows she can't post them direct on insta, but she wants that attention. Most Schizophrenics couldn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks of what they're doing- the important thing to them is that they sort out whatever their delusions are telling them. If she had delusional parasitosis, she would be posting shit saying "look at this bug i pulled out of my skin!!!" or similar- she would be trying to prove she's not crazy and their really are parasites living under her skin. Instead she's trying to say this is somehow part of her "Behcets" which is nothing more than a munchie fixation. There is no single test for Behcets, its a diagnosis of exclusion, so there's no way anyone can actually prove she doesn't have it for certain.

This is also different from Compulsive Skin Picking (mentioned a few pages back) because most sufferers realise they have a problem- it's like OCD, you know you shouldn't be picking but the urge to do so is so great and not doing it causes anxiety or discomfort. It's embarrassing for most, having open wounds all the time and looking gross. Similarly people with compulsive hair pulling don't choose to give themselves bald spots, most hate it, but they can't stop. Kelly fucking revels in this shit and actively tries to pass it off as having a rare condition instead- she doesn't give a fuck her legs look like rotting beef jerky at this point, it's just another way for her to garner sympathy and asspats for being the frail little dancer who is suffering so badly from this rare disease.

Finally, BPD self harm is 9/10 times reactionary. It's not purely for attention, it's a response to loneliness/thinking that someone close to you is 'abandoning' you, or it's a way of punishing yourself for your actions because you feel you have caused someone to leave you. It's caused by a severe lack of impulse control. People with BPD think if they cut themselves up, it will make someone stay close to them (when in reality, a lot of the time it pushes people further away). Kelly wants people to see that she's sick, that's it. She has no friends by the looks of things, and her family don't seem to want much to do with her either. If she was BPD she would have killed herself by now from being in that situation- that level of loneliness and isolation is a BPD sufferer's worst nightmare. She would likely enjoy being inpatient psych if she was BPD in her situation- its a place where it's people's job to look after you, then when you get discharged you barely last 5 mins in the real world because you have 0 people around you and you want that comfort of the ward again.

She's a munchie. She knows what she's doing, she's not psychotic and as others have already said, the only way to deal with this is for the doctors to stop wasting their time on her. I personally think she realises this and is upping her game to try and force their hand into treating her. Trying to explain away her behaviours with other mental illnesses just takes the responsibility for her actions away from herself. She couldn't get any more attention from her 'rare blood disorder' bullshit, so she moved onto this. I'm sure after this saga, if it doesn't kill her, she will pick another disease to waste doctors time with.
 
According to Kelly's dubious medical papers, she has been diagnosed with C-PTSD, which is a diagnosis often given instead of BPD.

C-PTSD isn’t in the DSM 5 and I don’t think it’s in the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) either. At least not ICD-10, which is the current version. Evidence points to it being a legitimate diagnosis, but it hasn’t been adopted because people can’t come to a consensus majority on it. Therapists will often make a diagnosis of it but put something else (like classic PTSD) on the patient’s chart so they can bill for it. If it’s listed as an official diagnosis on Kelly’s medical record, that’s another sign that points to that being bogus.
 
Re: Speculating as to what fucked up mental illness caused Kelly to be the way that she is, I think a lot of people tend to forget that she's also very likely addicted to opiates. There have been multiple times where she's publicly complained about not receiving prescription painkillers.

Also, as far as why Kelly's "friend" would post here, tbh it's not that farfetched to believe that this person is just some other rando in the munchiesphere who actually does have some sort of connection to Kelly. If any of you are familiar with r/illnessfakers, then you'll know that it's actually pretty common for munchies to join that community in order to prove that they're not like the other munchies and that their chronic-lyme-fibromyalgia-morgellons-celiac disease is totally real.
