i really would encourage you to ask for help. telling friends might help give you someone to talk to if they're understanding, but i think seeing your GP like Ktc said, would be a good idea. they will only tell your parents if they think you're a danger to yourself, which you still may not like but it's worth it if it means you get help, i've found.
why are you worried part of you is doing this for attention? is that something you're worried about because you think other people will think it, or is there some evidence behind it? it's ok to want help and support, and to want people to know you're not ok. but it's better to ask for that help before things go too far. but i don't think you're attention seeking :)
