Hello DoggieDad,

Ah, doubting the mental illness comes as part of the package, no I don't believe you are attention seeking. You have been diagnosed with the above mental health issues right? So how is that attention seeking? For example if you have BP, in a manic state or a depressive state you might accidently try to commit suicide perhaps without even realising it, you wouldn't do that for attention, it would happen in a moment of your illness.
