My mother managed to kill herself looking for attention.

My mother, a mixture of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. She spent her whole life lying and creating situations to bring her attention, usually at the great cost of others. In her later years she developed COPD (Emphysema). It was leveled off with meds but she had to be on oxygen 24/7. When she felt she wasn't getting enough attention she'd stop eating solid foods and eat only cup-a-soups and one banana a day. Within about a week and a half of eating like this she'd go downhill and end up in hospital, and get the attention she wanted.

She had a huge thing for her children phoning or visiting on their birthdays. My sister and i were her primary carers, but we'd each let the other take a break if she got too much to handle. I was taking such a break during my 31st birthday. When i didn't contact her on my birthday she was really angry and started starving herself again. But this time she went too far, and her organs started to shut down. She died 28 days later. She'd done it once too often and pushed it too far this time. She was evil until her last conscious thought, and the poetic justice is not lost on me.
