I don't believe at ALL that if you talk about it you're "not really serious". If someone tells me that they are I take it VERY seriously because I know what it's like. I've been there. But when I find out they're lying about it I just feel used and taken advantage of.

I think you are justified in being legitimately angry at someone for doing that. I think that if anyone did that to me, I would never speak to them again. It would therefore backfire because then they have huge ER bill and no more friend.
If someone in your life is faking suicide attempts for attention, they don't deserve your time or anything ever again. Because those of us who have been there and can't get any help at all have therefore only survived by chance.... (like me.)
