Do other bipolar folks feel a constant need for attention and/or support and it's just really hard to get it? It could just be my personality. I also have OCD pretty bad.

For example, I'm trying to start losing more weight (I need to lose at least 30 or 40 lbs), and I've had a really hard time getting people to support me and encourage my efforts on Facebook with showing before/after pics of my weight loss so far and talking about healthy foods, exercise, etc. I especially wish my best friend would show some support by liking my stuff but she won't.

I probably sound totally ridiculous, and I can be needy sometimes, but please be kind with some genuine suggestions on how to deal with this. My need for attention has become almost a compulsion I guess. I may need to give up Facebook... :-/
