There are different types of attention. If you are doing it as a cry for help and hoping that someone will recognise you need help and will then get you that help, it's not bad. If you are doing it to try to be 'cool' or to try and compete to be the 'most depressed' or some other way then that's a bad thing.

'Good' attention = looking for support and help to overcome depression or other struggles
'Bad' attention = doing something drastic/bad to get attention in an attempt to make up for a lack of attention elsewhere
