I know someone who is doing this using psychiatric illness. I think she is actually sick -- but not the type of sick she wants to be. She has a clear personality disorder, and yearns for bipolar because it has more "validity". This person also packs a suitcase and brings it to the ER while claiming to be a danger to self. It is definitely the feeling cared for aspect that pushes her to this, but is there any way of breaking through or helping a person like this??!!
