When things get bad for my girlfriend, I'm expected to be there, but when I need her it feels like I still have to be there for her while she feels so far away from me.

My issues feel like they get brushed off while she expects hers to be my whole life. I'm drained.

Everytime I need her, she coincidentally happens to be busy with her own issues and everything is all about her again.

I recently stopped medication (with my doctors opinion) in order to start a new one in a week, this week was expected to be tough and I know I can't blame her for becoming her worst at this time, but it feels like its on purpose.

Everytime when I'm expected to have a terrible week, she always somehow ends up having a flare of mental illness, so I have to be there for myself - and her.

It's difficult, and sometimes I'm tempted to teach her a lesson, even though I know it'd hurt her and myself - so then she could realize things aren't all about her.
