I don't have anyone to talk to regarding what I am feeling besides my therapist. It's getting increasingly harder and harder to start my days cause I feel so lonely and have so many feelings and thoughts pent up. Does any one else have problems making friends and are bipolar? Is this one of the nasty side effects of this illness?

I feel like my chest wants to explode with feelings of anger, anxiousness, suppression, and hopelessness. I do not know what to do with myself. I find it hard to work with all these thoughts going round and round inside my head. I really want to cry...sometimes just yell to get the feelings out.

I feel so empty inside since I have no one to talk to. My family is non-existent, my boyfriend is just as bad off as me at times and doesn't understand. I need a friend...some one other than my therapist to talk to.

If anyone just wants to talk during the work day, please let me know.
