Berries! You are not making sense. What does those other people having a spouse or an ex or children or a full time job have to do with their ability, or your ability, to be friends?? You have your illness in common. That's a big bond. I would go back at least 3 more times. Give people a chance, and give yourself a chance. We all have different life styles and circumstances. But shared feelings and experiences, especially of something as personal and profound as having mental illness is a strong bond and can make for some good friends. Don't look at your differences, look and listen for the similarities of thoughts and feelings that you all share.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
