I've not had anyone *mention* it, though I'm really not close to people, so that's not surprising. It did occur to me not long ago though, that while people tend to think of losing friendships etc in manic times, anything I have goes wonky during depressive phases. I just can't write. Or can't really say what's going on and mean to get back to it when maybe things are better. Then it just never happens. I suppose people are just used to me disappearing for spans of time, but to be honest, I think most of them don't even notice when I'm not there. They've certainly never asked.
