Could you go to a place in your town or city that deals with the mental health system or some type of social group? I know that in my case after 8 years of hanging around the social clubs etc.. i made alot of friends, alot of them in the mental health system not they're all nuts, but just people who needed to be watched as to their meds and learn from them. now since 1997 i moved away and belong to another social therapy place where I get a counselor therapist to come and see me 1 time a month. avlady
