this is definately a tough situation. are you sure that she has not been diagnosed with depression or something? i have a good friend who is bi-polar and it is sometimes very hard for her to see that other people have problems too. i love her to bits, but i also understand that it has something to do with her illness. there are times when she is at her low points that i can't talk about my problems and that is ok.
if that is not the case, then maybe you can tell her how you feel. have you been friends for a really long time? i was in a similiar situation a few months ago. i was soo mad at my friend bc all she talked about was herself. blah blah blah....in the mean time i was going through this major crisis and needed my friend. i was so upset one day that i just told her. i told her that i was feeling really upset about this thing and that i felt like no one was listening. immediately, she realized that she had been going on and on and on about stupid things with her bf when i really was in crisis. it is hard to do, but sometimes you need to tell people what you need. things are better now. we have found a balance, but she knows that some days, i can't talk about her silly bf things bc i am so upset about my own thing. hey, that's what friends are for!
