I put myself in the hospital 3-4 weeks ago due to a manic episode, I was there 9 days... I was already messed up, then the hospital was a living nightmare!

Anyway, my only support in my personal life is my husband and my sister that lives out of state.

When I'm not having my own issues I feel I'm very supportive of others, try to help them problem solve, give advice, etc. However, my mother and my only friend are so damn selfish that when I'm in need all they do is talk about themselves- I swear they don't even ask how I'm doing, they just ramble on regarding their own issues as though I'm in any position to counsel them at this time. Absolutely selfish, it's so bad I'm actually wondering why I have a relationship with either of them! I normally wouldn't see it this clearly, because I'm not usually needy, however I'm sick now.....
