Since I was a teenager I used to exaggerate or fake illnesses or tragedies to get the attention of the person I was interested in, I never did it with family or friends, I only did it with the person I liked, because I wanted to know if the person I was interested in cared about me, but despite already having established relationships with those people, I still do it every time I feel they are not paying attention to me, it makes me feel very embarrassed.
Tell me this is a bpd thing? I discussed it with my psychologist but he said it might be due to something manic but I really doubt it. 

Sorry for the broken English
