fair weather friends?

Do you ever feel like you've got friends who are so into themselves that they hardly even notice you? These are fair weather friends, because since it's really "all about them", and you're always there to say, "yeah, go for it, love ya babe," etc. Then when you need a friend or a cheering on or a hug they're gone in a flash.
These are the same people who tell you to just snap out of it when they know you can't because you have bipolar disorder. Anyone know some of these people?

When I had my therapy practice I used to call them psychic vampires. They drain your blood and then blow off to the wind.

Is there a part of you that feels as if you've been hoodwinked ?
I mean have they taken your faith in others away for good ?

My main confused memory...as friends got filtered out....was me not able to notice THEIR changes....cos I was so ill.
Damn that hurts.
Only after the damage was done...that's when I woke up.


It's truly a great thing being here and discussing things...I dunno how to put that into words.
Peace

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
