Hey everyone,
I need to vent because I feel like I’m losing my mind. I have a friend with Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) who is a compulsive liar and has a severe eating disorder. As her health has declined, she’s been spiralling and basically self-harming with drugs and toxic men. A few weeks ago, she was on a 3-day bender and got some news about a guy she liked that really upset her. When we spoke on the phone, she sounded so destroyed that I was terrified. She promised me ten times she was just going to "sleep it off" and not do anything stupid while begging me under no circumstances to contact her family.
Eight hours later, her sister calls me freaking out saying my friend had texted their mum saying she’d "taken a bunch of pills" 7 hours ago and now her phone is off.
I was hyperventilating. Me and her sister went on a total mission to find her. While the sister was in a 3-hour taxi ride to my friend’s place, I was calling 911 and every local hospital because my friend had told another person she was "on her way to A&E after ODing" before turning her phone off. I spent three hours in a state of pure terror thinking she was dying.

Then, the sister finally gets there and texts me: "I’m here. She’s fine. She’s in her PJs." I assumed she was being taken to the hospital since my friend finally messaged me saying she’d taken 60 sleeping pills. She then went ghost for a week, saying she was "too embarrassed" to talk.
But when we finally spoke, the pieces of the puzzle started falling apart. She told me her sister just "came in, screamed at her, and left." She also claimed she "passed out" on her way to the hospital... but the sister’s text about her being "fine in her PJs" happened before that.
It’s now clear she never OD’d. Or if she took anything, it was a tiny amount just to say she did it. She never went to the hospital. She intentionally told me NOT to call her family so that she could be the one to drop the "I took a bunch of pills" bomb on her mum and then go dark for 8 hours to watch the chaos unfold.

I feel like such an idiot for believing her, but it took a while to realize how calculated this was. Even when I noticed the lies I still took it seriously and as a cry for help and her family were discussing putting her in rehab. However. since then, she’s been doing other dangerous things and using her eating disorder to get "praise" and attention by pushing her body to the limit in a way that seems charitable on social media despite doctors ordering her not to. It’s reached a point where she is literally using her body wasting away as a tool for validation and to feed the ED further.

I’m so drained, and honestly just exhausted. Nothing stops her because, to her, the "legend" status and the attention are more addictive than actually staying alive. I know eating disorders are complex and I give her a lot of grace but this isn't the first time something like this has happened and she keeps doing more and more extreme things.

Also known as courts or keeping up with courts from Leeds. I am genuinely baffled by the current rebrand Courtney is trying to pull off on her tenth account. Some people remember her from years ago when she apparently stole her current man from her friend as revenge and then spent ages bullying that same friend online. She has had so many different personas since then and they have stayed together through multiple kids and that massive explosive breakup recently where she was exposing everything about him including intimate shaming and she was also constantly exposing his girlfriend Kelsey and going out of her way to make Kelsey look terrible online. She's bullied numerous girls on the app and her own mum when they fall out - she uses it to expose anyone and everyone she's mad at. Now that they are suddenly back together she is trying to act like her life is a dream and she is making 45k a month as a midnight ballerina in London. It feels like a massive lie to cover up the fact that she was recently living in her salon and is still in social housing in Leeds. She spoke a lot about how she private rents and has opinions about housing and children but there's no way that she private rents because she ripped up the tiles in her house and painted the radiator and kitchen cupboards black and has done a complete garden renovation that wouldn't happen in a private rental especially considering the fact that her best friend posted evidence that Courtney used her best friend's name to get a tenancy using fraud. She is calling everyone else a poor and broke constantly while she is just posting vague videos in hotel rooms. Does anyone know if she is actually even going to London or is she just making it all up to look like she has made it after all the drama with her fella and the bullying. It is wild to see her act this way on her newest account after being in the cells in a tracksuit just a year ago.
