So I was on fdc [r/fakedisordercringe which is a subreddit on Reddit] and saw an anti had posted a MUD they said was from 2021. I coined the MUD umbrella in mid 2022 after seeing a few radqueer people coin disorders. The earlyist coined disorders I know of were coined around a few weeks to a month before then being Reverse P-OCD, Esuriens Syndrome, some disordered identities and maybe some others I’m forgetting. I had never heard of the MUD mentioned in the fdc post so I hunted down the orginal post
The disorder is called Flash Memory Stress Disorder and was coined July 4th 2021 on instagram and is the oldest coined MUD I know of but I’d love to see if somebody found others. It doesn’t have a flag so I made one for it and I am listing the symptoms below. I will not be changing the wording at all, just redoing the formatting to make it fit a tumblr post.
FMSD stand for Flash Memory Stress Disorder
Symptoms of FMSD include:
Anxiety.
Long term memory. Remembering small things/conversations others may not remember. These are called hyperflashes.
Getting random flashbacks from these hyperflashes may lead to panic attacks.
Unfriending people because of small things they did because they might “hate” them because of it. You may wonder why someone with FMSD unfriends you or stops talking to you. This is called flash detachment. They may not remember what they did to you but you do. This makes the progressively become more antisocial.
People with FMSD tend to overreact to small things. For example: You text them their name and they immediately think something bad is going to happen, like a breakup.
Because of hyperflashes, people with FMSD might become antisocial because they might not trust themselves
FMSD falls onto the autism spectrum. People with FMSD are likely to have ADHD too.
