Think she needs help!

I am very worried about a friend of mine.
She is a chronic attention seeker. I work with her and she just does and say's the strangest things ever.
She keeps sayin people have left notes on her car, she fakes illnesses and aches and pains, even said she had a lump on her knee which was cancerous.
She told me she was stopped in the street my a model agency and the next week she was stopped by a style agency and she was gonna be in the local paper. All these things are lies for attention.
She even said a nightclub boss offered her a job when we were in the club together, which is a lie.
Other things she does is text herself from a different phone pretending to be someone else, she pretends to text people too. She has sufffered depression before in her life and has had counselling about it

But the main thing i am worried about is she has told everyone including her b/f that she wants a baby and that they are planning on having one as soon as possible. I just hope she is telling the truth and not doing it for attention or a reaction.

Need some advice about what you think goes on inside her head

I hope she is NOT telling the truth......she doesn't seem qualified to be a good parent. Just let her babble on and don't pay her much attention. Don't react to her......she's looking for a reaction.

Re: Think she needs help!

yes she could have a HPD problem, it seems to fit. just hope she doesn't do anything stupid. Her attention seeking is too much at the moment.
