    No it isn't. And in fact I hate that premise so much that I've done dangerous things and purposefully told nobody about it so I could never be seen as attention seeking. Fun times.

    Yeah. It's seeking care.  Which yeah some may confuse with seeking attention. To me seeking care would be to get the help they feel they need and seeking attention would be they do not actually feel bad but just doing it for any attention. But guess even seeking attention means there's some need there too ,cause attention & love is a need. And giving attention or care could be what helps them. 
    So what I mean is whatever people do or whatever the reason people think -- there is a reason and need to be understanding of that & help

    and I don’t know if worded that well. But I typed and deleted a few times cause I didn't know how to word but hopefully made sense.

    Supposedly anyway. I'm on a pretty high dosage of an SSRI and I'll say i preferred the anti depressant i had before. Cant remember what it was called but it was kind of a sleeping pill aswell. Had to stop taking them though since I was basically out cold for most of my exams :D

    I agree, crying for help gets easily passed off as being “attention seeking” however it just means you need support and there’s nothing wrong with that 💗
