What is the worst case of attention-seeking you've ever seen?

I had a buddy who had an affair with a psych nurse. She was crazy manipulative, but I think most of her power came from being pretty and the hospital flirt.He felt special she chose him. She told everyone her husband abused her and threatened to burn their house down unless she married him. But then told my friend she wanted to burn her husband to death in his sleep. Showed my friend she everevery guy she ever screwed around with on fb and how most stalked her. All serious red flags!

She then faked being pregnant by him for a month when he wanted to end things, woukd have been longer if he had not insisted on being there when she took the test. He kept going back though. Thought he could change her.

Things starting hitting the fan when she posted naked photos on a social site. He was pissed. Again he's like I'm done. She being a nurse then takes enough pills to make her sick, but not kill her do, any damage. She posts a fake bloody photo and says "goodbye" texts everyone she works with that as well. She's in the hospital for like a day. Tries to get my buddy to come visit. He refuses. She's back to work working in a psych ward like nothing happened TWO days later. Hospital was fine with it. She then freaks out about something else and cuts herself a couple times on her leg and posts it. He blames himself says he knew she was a cutter and burned herself. This woman literally had zero scars on her. He admitted that, but I'm an asshole mentioning maybe that shows she only does it when things are not going her way. They finally end it and wouldn't you know it, no more "suiced attempts" or posts "I cut myself." She was fine the rest of the years she worked there.

I have a friend who actually suffers from cutting and people like that nurse made me sick! Pretty obvious she was doing that to manipulate him and its worse because she worked everyday with people suffering like that!

She's now pregnant. I feel for that child.
