There are many personality disorders and these are only labels, but what you are describing sounds to me like "Histrionic Personality Disorder".
Histrionic personality disorder is marked by an insatiable attention-seeking, a great emotionality, a provocative and flirtatious behavior and a false sense of intimacy in relationships when in reality there is very little. Most histrionic personality types are women who have not gone beyond the infantile stage and thus enact the role of both child and woman. Often the histrionic personality has great social skills and a hyper alertness to others so that she can decide how to manipulate them in order that she can be the center of attention, outside of which she is very uncomfortable.
These dramatic displays have no longevity and are done only to get praise, attention and approval from others. She perceives herself as quite charming, with an active social life but as quickly as she is excited she becomes bored and her impulsivity can result in quick, unplanned bouts of hedonism and a fixation on constant activity that leaves no room for self-reflection or self-examination. Affection and attention are the main goals and to get these goals met the histrionic exhibits behaviors that our society admires or at least gives lip service to -- extroversion, popularity, sociability and attractiveness. But underneath there is the driving need to be the center of attraction or attention at any cost, even if this means repetitive, self-distracting behavior in which the histrionic's sense of self or worthiness comes solely from others and cannot be met by anyone who is not in the outside world because inside there is an emptiness, confusion and lack of a core identity.

Depressed. Disassociative. (I think that is the correct spelling.) They are basically using a fantasy world as a coping mechanism instead of dealing with the problems in their life.
