Is This a Personality Disorder? Posted: 11-01-04 05:32am
I don't know what to do anymore. I always
feel like I need attention as a child I
would lie about anything just so people
would pay attention to me whether it was
doing something to get arrested or
exaggrating illnesses. As i'm getting
older (19) it seems to be getting worse.
All I can think of is doing something
really big to get a lot of attention, and
then these thoughts come into my head to
hurt somebody really bad or hurt multiple
people and I will really get a lot
attention. I am very afraid that I may
hurt somebody I love. The really weird
thing is that I just don't want positive
attention it has to be attention that is
achieved by doing bad things. I don't
know what to do I think about killing
myself to keep myself from hurting someone
in my family. I don't think I can beat
this thing, please help me!

If you don't get help chances are that you
will either have a lousy depressing life
or that you will do something awful &
end up having a horrendous nightmarish
life - possibly in jail being used by
older stronger people for sex>>
std>> death. Neither are lives i'd
like for anyone.
You have come for help but it is up to you
to take it & act to get
help>>talk to your dr about seeing a
psych, &/or see if there are any
support groups, counselling groups etc
(anything) that deal with low self-esteem,
poor impulse control,etc. Then go rfom
there.
Good luck pm me if you want to talk as I
suspect there are deeper issues behind
this but with no idea what they are I
can't give more specific help/advice.

Could also be histrionic personality
disorder you are describing although it is
co-morbid with borderline personality
disorder
