I had to stop following her but the adhd as her latest thing doesn’t surprise me. I know people in my own life like this, there’s always ‘something’ going on with them. It sounds serious and concerning when you first know them but over time you relaise there is a new thing every month and it’s about attention.
I know exactly what you mean. I have a friend like this and I'm at the stage now where I just don't want her as a friend anymore.
She rings and messages me constantly lurching from one alleged 'crisis' to another, from her supposedly abusive alcoholic husband to the guy she's having an affair with who apparently is just after her money, which she apparently doesn't have any of because every second sentence is about how she can't afford something. She has to take the kids to her mother's for food because she can't afford any, but 5 minutes later she's going away for the night with the other guy and she has to pay for it because he doesn't have any money.
She has a different medical problem every week and I'm convinced she has Munchausens because she's always at the GP and she seems to take the kids there every 5 minutes too, so I suspect Munchausens by proxy too.
Sorry, I've gone a bit off topic there, but I needed to get that off my chest!
But yes, that's Jack Monroe to a T. An attention seeker who thrives on drama.
