A friend has a work friend who he thinks may have munchausens. He wants to talk to them about it to try and help them (He’s suffered from mental health issues in the past and now likes to support others). It’s mainly minor ailments that they talk about all the time and takes over their life, so my work friend is worried for them and their future. They believe they had covid (no positive test), and say they still struggle with breathing. Although all tests have been fine and they seem to manage absolutely fine with daily work etc. A recent one has been stomach issues but nothing so far has been found apart from IBS, but they talk about it all the time and have been to A and E quite a lot. I don’t know them and feel they may be genuinely ill so wouldn’t say they aren’t telling the truth, but other things on top of this over the last few years have made my friend feel their friend is making it all up. It’s a difficult one as someone in pain would be heartbroken that a friend thought they were making things up. I read about munchausens and it doesn’t seem as extreme as what I read. Anyone ever come across anyone like this and any outcomes? I don’t want my friend to approach their friend on it and ruin a work friendship if they are wrong.
