Could someone tell me what you would call this? Help me?

You are describing symptoms that are pretty consistent with Muchausen's Syndrome. The name isn't important, but the craving for medical attention is. It would appear that the fainting has become an unconscious process that brings desired attention. Since this has been ongoing, and has the potential to get worse, it would be best to seek help from a mental health professional.

I think it may stem from not getting the attention that you wanted to needed when you were younger. You should go talk to a doctor or some kind of mental health professional if this is bothering you to such an extent.

Yeah i'm sorry to hear that your in such a bad way at the moment. :( unfortunately it sounds as though you might be going through a number of things that are all adding up to the thrill of being fussed over.

One of the reasons that we crave attention from others is because of our own lack of self worth. It sounds as though your family may have a part to play in that. Being constantly dejected and being told your a drama queen and you need to toughen up can have a horrible effect on your self worth, amongst other things. Human beings have natural desires for acceptance and love and people that feel devoid of these things naturally start to blame themselves for being devoid of it believeing that they simply aren't good enough. When you don't have enough self worth to accept 'yourself', it is neccesary to get that great feeling of love and acceptance by prizing it out of other people.

Your fear of needles and blood, fainting, ect, this is all learnt behaviour. It has been habitually learnt over time, simply because you know it produced positive results. By engaging in this behaviour you get your thrill of being cared for and loved. This behaviour has become a habit. But the great news is that habits can be broken. Breaking habits is not about getting rid of them but simply 'replacing' them with new habits. When nobody pays attention to you, it is all to easy to remember the great times when people actually did pay attention to you, this is whats likely causing your depression. But given the behaviour is so easy to replicate, it's not hard to produce the same results again.

The way to change these thoughts and feelings is to keep growing your self worth and learn to become content within yourself. By becoming content within yourself the need for attention from others will no longer be neccessary. And these behaviour patterns can slowly get less and less until they no longer exist. Developing your self worth is really easy. And the best thing that you can do for yourself is to go to any doctor or counsillor and explain your situation to them. And they will defiantely get you started on the right path. If not it's always great to have someone to talk to. So if you want to talk to someone send me and email. jmonkhouse@y7mail.com. All the best.
