I have been single for 3 years now. I feel like maybe its because of the bp. I could care less about the sexual part but can bp cause you not to have relationships? It sucks being lonely and feeling alone because my family doesn't understand me and i stay in my room most the day. I feel like I have no life. It's all about bp. I need more friends. Advice anyone?

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...
you have to make the effort to join something and the lonliness will be much less
Does that help you? You are with you and you have to be OK with being with you before you can be ok being with someone else.
but it is really hard to do Hollie.
there is one thing that is garanteed....you wont lose the lonliness sitting in your room. 100% true.
It's the same thing that unites BPs here.The fact we talk openly about stuff that freaks sane people out.
Take small steps and don't overestimate the sane. I have made few new friends during BP.I was lucky to have old friendships.
Why not make a move to be more sociable as a start. Just get amongst people, get used to being around people, then maybe think about relationships.
You could try a gym during an off peak period, when there may not be too many people around. Something like that. Depends I guess on your interests. Maybe an idea to go to a support group for BP. At least some of the people might be able to get there head round how you might feel.
Oh, and Pluck
