Sorry it is hitting you so hard today. This isolating is a big part of the disease. Can you get another therapy appointment? Talk about what you said here?

Don't assume people don't like you because of the disease. I know how tough that is, some days.

(((((Hugs)))))

Oh Dee, this disorder just SUXS. I'm sorry you are having a bad day

HUGS !

...I understand....
...But the massive majority of all peoples friends over time go their own ways....
...For me, all my teen and 20 friends had the common bond of partying....
...That bond broke and the in-common thing between us went away...
...Some decided a new group of friends was better time spent....Others got married and decided to shed old friendship bonds...Some died...Some moved...Many friends I know got labeled bi-polar or schizo....This did not bring us back together as friends with a bond....
....Alone is lonely and even sometimes when some one is with you, you are still lonely....
....I do not know?...
....Many friends of old I miss according to how we were in those days....But time has changed us all and our views and wants....
....It would be like sending a old friend reunion bond party invite out....Some would not even reply....Others would have no interest at all...
....Being bi-polar is not a friendship destroyer....If I am in fact bi-polar all those friends I had were my friends when I had bi-polar....I still have the exact same bi-polar but those friends are long gone....
....I would not trip on blaming bi-polar for the friends going their own ways....Time does this to all.....

(((HUGE bearhugs))) i'm sorry you're struggling sweet friend.

Have you tried any support groups?

do this ... :)

in your heart until it happens on your beautiful face too !!!

I get that way.. I tend not to let people get to close cause I am afraid they will see me manic.. Or in the despair if a bad depression. I know those times when you loose a friend because I did not call them when they needed a friend. Or I hid out cause I was depressed.
I hear you..

I'm really sorry that you've lost friends to BP. I have, too. I bet a lot of us have. That says that here, anyway, you are not alone. :)

Sorry your day has been such a bummer,we all have them. Losing your friends really is shitty,I am so sorry it does hurt. I've lost a lot of friends lately due to my quitting drinking and some I didn't care but some I really care about,so I understand the sadness of it all.I hope you have a better night.

Sorry you are feeling crappy Dee...*hugs*

I just told Will today that I am pissed as hell at how much time this illness has taken away from my life. I know how you feel, you are so not alone Dee......time with the kids especially is the time I get upset over the most. I love you to bits and hope you feel better real soon. ox

you can get them back!

I have called and rekindled good friends.

I also learned, I was the one explaining over and over, they didn't push or ask...its part of our sickness to explain, over and over and over - till we are embarrassed and ashamed...

For me, I talk all that "lost and depressed stuff" with my MI friends, and my good friends that I partry with, I'll make a Bipolar joke, but do not tell them about - the chair, the phone, the pain or my sleep! They will listen, but WHY? They don't talk about their sleep twice a day to me! LOL

We have to create a life we want - pick a friend, and get them back! If you want friends, be a friend!!!! Pick up that damn PHONE!!!!!

You are much loved online and off! Let me remind you, as you seem to have forgot - again! LOL : ) xxo

Massive hug for you sweetie.. You are always here for us
I tend to do the same thing at times..
I hope you feel better soon...xoxo
