This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Most of my life I can say I have known a lot of people and even more so that a lot of people know me. But I have never had a real FRIEND. Nothing like other people have like friendships that last for years. I have AQUAINTENCES.
Here on DS I over 100 friends have come and gone from my friends list and with a lot of them I feel like I really have a connection with them but I feel like I am just playing FRIENDS, knowing all of them are just a Deleate button away.
To my friends here on DS I say thank you for letting me believe I do have relationships that are meaningful. But how can I make friends in the real world.

True friends are there to help you through good and bad. They are few and far between when you find someone treasure them.

In that life called ' real' I have close friends.Two from before illness and two during it.Others around too.
They all know when I need to ' disappear' a while.
A lot of potential friends I meet are almost shocked by the openness I have.
I'd guess that most BPs are open and want a deeper connection and honesty.
That's why friends are rare to find.Because we are functioning on a different level, not necessarily special..but not odd either , by any stretch of a sane person's imagination.
