Woman in wheelchair pretends to be paralysed: Chloe Jennings-White desperates wants to be paraplegic - Mirror Online

For most people, being told they need a wheelchair would be their worst nightmare.

But for Chloe Jennings-White, it was a dream come true.

The 57-year-old suffers with a rare condition called Body Integrity Identity Disorder, a rare psychological complaint which means she desperately wants to be paraplegic – paralysed below the waist.

So when she was finally diagnosed in 2008, and doctors suggested she tried using a wheelchair to control her urges to damage her own spine, she was more than happy to give it a try.

Now Chloe, a research scientist in psychiatry, chooses to live her life on four wheels, pretending to be paralysed.

“Being able to use a wheelchair is a massive relief, and the closest I will probably ever come to being paraplegic,” says Chloe.

She was on some show on TV a while back. She will use the wheelchair when she wants and walks around normally when she doesn't want to use the chair. Very strange.

This is not the most insane goddam thing I've ever heard of.
But it certainly is in the top 5 of the month.

She is an insulting ####### attention whore and I do not find her insanity interesting in the slightest.

Inorite.


How many real paraplegics out there would give anything to walk again. This woman should be neutered and paralyzed on general principle.

Looks like a script/program exception message. A parameter that shouldn't be null is null, or its expecting a numeric value and gets an Epsilon/Infinity value.

It says here you "liked" my post twice... I'm guessing its related to that.

I pretend I'm paraplegic when there’s work to be done around the house.
