She says I'm depressed and that I'm thinking of getting a job but I can't just yet as I can't look after myself. I still sleeping on the sofa. I agree I'm not doing great but maybe I could get a job maybe it would be the making of me?

She knows a lot of things about me and says I'm hiding a lot and that I'm needing help. She says I need to open up and accept people want to help. She was saying nice things to me and tbh I felt I didn't deserve it at all. I mean why do people care.... I'm a nobody
You're definitely a somebody or I've been talking to thin air all this time I think most people care because they wish the same for themselves. You'd help out a friend if the tables were turned, right?

I want to remind you that when you are manic you get very frustrated with people and feel they are abandoning you. Here you have a friend reaching out with what seems like genuine compassion and you're pushing it away. You are now the same person you were when you were manic even though a different aspect of you is at the forefront. You deserved a friend then and you deserve one now.

I think your friend is trying to offer you a hand. Please consider listening to what she has to say and take her hand. She seems to have good intentions and perhaps some insight you could use at the moment.
