Well maybe, she feels suicidal constantly but is not actually receiving the help that she needs. Or maybe she seeks attention? While I understand the desire to not tar everyone with the brush of 'they are only doing it for the attention' it is not outside the realms of possibility that there are indeed some people who *do* engage in behaviour in an effort to seek attention - think of it as a twisted version of the urge that Big Brother contestants have. I have met good and bad in everything and the automatic attack, or defence of an entirety of a group of people is rarely a good idea. There are people who thrive on attention just as well as there are people who seek attention for serious problems, saying all 'attention seekers' are victims is as unhelpful as saying that they are all 'silly women'. Individuals have different motives, it's what makes life interesting.
