attension seeking getting to much......

[charlotte89]

I am a 20 yr old female, and a mum to a gorgeous little boy of 3 yrs.

for the past 2 years I have been having episodes of feeling i need to draw attension to myself..

Its begginning to get uncontrolable and I hate it.. I am on medication from my gp.

It started when I was collapsing out in the street and a couple of times i was taken into hospital with it - nothing was ever found to be wrong with me.

It got to a point I was not goin out my house becasue i was scared of it happening again. I have actually faked fainting just for attension, I know it is wrong and im so ashamed, BUT why is it happening.. Why do i do it, I dont want to be doin.

It affects my every day life, becasue i dont go out into big place with lots of people becasue im scared il get the urge to fake another collapse just to get attension..

someone please talk to me and ask what ever questions u want to ask, il try my hardest to anser them

thank you

Why do you want us to ask questions? Just tell us about yourself, what it is like to be like this and what you think is causing it if you want to

I dont know why i am like this, but it ruins myeveryday life, my son isnt getting the life he should be, i should be out doin things with him,but im to scared to go out where i may feel like im goin to collapse.. i cant understand it..

how can you cure attension seeking, because that is what i feel it is..

Are you sure you are not simply having panick attacks?

You 'feel' its attention seeking?

It should be fairly clear I would have thought.

Are you making a conscious decision to fake a fainting episode, if not then as someone else has said - perhaps its panic attacks?

now you are posting another thread about having the menopause at 20

And another about back pain?

Go back to your GP and ask to be referred for counselling of some kind. You may be having panic attacks or you may have some kind of compulsive problem - either way, if you find yourself unable to avoid doing something that is unhealthy or dangerous then you have some kind of MH issue that you need help with.

Yes I do suffer with panic attacks and this is why im on the medication and it has helped alot..

JUSTBLAMESUE - whats the problem with writing other threads.. Yes if you read the messages then you'll understand..

I am also pregnant and have been having cramping pains all day?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Didnt realise you could only use 1 topic!!!

charlotte you can post on as many ttopics as you like but if you post on one thread that you think you are in the early menopause and you are worried because you want to start TTC and simultaneously on an other thread describe how you are pregnant and on yet another thread (this one) write that you faint for attention seeking and simultaneously write on another one that you have panic attacks but you are much better with meds and counselling well...

what do you want. Maybe it is time to slow down and think about what you are posting and why...

Yes I faint but im aware of it and i no its goin to happen.. my gp said its panic attacks. but because i no its goin to happen i feel like imfaking it [confussed]

I havent had a period for a yr and i amworried its my menopause..
i did a preg test yesterday and had a very faint line that im sure was a positive. today iv been having crampin!!!

well if you where becoming menopausl you wouldnt be oregnant now would you ?

I cannot spell i blame the preg brain !!

poor girl is clearly in a tizz and getting us questioning her is making her worse. I hope you get some help Charlotte. You need to explain to your GP EXACTLY how you are feeling and ask for more specialised help.

Are these contradicting threads part of what you are describing, OP?
