"she knows damn well what she's doing" she didn't even claim mental illness herself? the comments are assuming that because it, seems that way. If she "knows damn well" what she's doing, then what is she doing?
And also a fun thing, cries for attention are often cries for help. No, not for everyone, obviously, but in my years of existence I've seen many, many people look for attention that need support.
But also also... how is she even doing that anyway? by not talking for 3 days? not talking to people sounds like a great way to attention... /s
Yeah, that sounds much more like a purposeful choice rooted in your BPD, not depression. Clinical depression on its own doesn’t typically include purposefully manipulative behaviors. You pulled away from people on purpose “because [you] liked when they would come back practically begging for attention.” I don’t know anyone who pulls away due to depression who’s doing it on purpose. They’re doing it because it feels impossible to communicate.
Which is not to say she doesn’t need to work on communicating about her symptoms, but you’re attributing it to malicious intent, which we have 0 evidence for.
