What do you do?

[Lil_Tink]

My friend admits she has depression when she doesnt. She does it for attention, I try to tell her that that is not the way to get attention. It is making me mad when there are people that really suffer and she is cracking jokes about it and making it going around going " I am depressed..Ah...." When she is just doing it for attention.

My mother tells people she's had two different kinds of cancer (thyroid and ovarian) b/c she recently had "scares" and had to have surgery. There was no cancer, just benign cysts, but she still tells people she had "cancer surgery" anyway. There's nothing anyone can say to her, it's totally a martyr attention-grab and it makes me sooooo angry. I don't know what to do, either.

I try and tell my friend to stop trying to find a "Pity Party" because she is not depressed and all she can think is is "You dont know me like you think you do" "I am" and simaler stuff.

She recently said that my good friend started a rumor about me to, I talked to that friend and she said she didnt. I fully trust this friend as we tell eachother everything and now she is making a big deal out of it.

I know someone like that, only she really does have depression. She's always being mean and you'll be like, "Toni, cut it out!" and she goes "But...I have depression!" It's so annoying.

Before I get flamed, I have depression, so I know what it's like, but I don't go around spreading rumors and causing drama.

 

[Lil_Tink]

Lol, I hate it because she got herself into everyone not liking her because of what she does..Lol..

Ignore her. If she is doing it to get attention and you tell her to stop then she is getting what she wants. She probably won't stop and there is nothing you can do about that.

I know a couple people like this, they ALWAYS have something wrong with them. One woman I have known for 13 years and every time I talk to her she has something else wrong with her. Whatever. I just ignore it and hope it will go away but you know her life is harder then anyone else's life.
