I, for one, look forward to your posts and to your blogs. But sometimes it's hard to know what to say, since I know you only by what you write. How sad that your brother wrote you off! I have been unimaginably lucky that when I have been hospitalized (how many times? - 8, 9 10?) my friends and family stood by me.
Not at first though. My husband was at first angry and didn't see why I just didn't "snap out of it." He finally agreed to meet with my p-doc, whom he liked a lot and who explained that if I could snap out of it, I would, but I couldn't.
To suffer mental illness and feel that you have no supportive family or friends is very hard. I think that's one of the reasons people post on babble. There are people who do understand.
