I could've written that post myself. When I was younger I would try to break bones, give myself concussions, etc etc. I would be in the nurses office every single day until my teacher caught on that I didn't need to be there and wouldn't let me go anymore. Then in middle school I self harmed solely for the attention. I started experiencing psychosis in high school and although at the time I didn't really know, later (like now) I started thinking maybe I made it all up because I felt like I was just tossed aside and ignored. Rationally I know I didn't, but even today I wonder if I'm just making up the symptoms so someone will notice and take care of me.
