I have lost a couple of important friendships due to my illness. My behavior was just too much when i was unwell, and it changed the dynamic of the friendships forever. One of them is especially hard, because he is bipolar too, but he found being around me too triggering, so he cut ties. I still see him occasionally at social events, and he is friendly, but still pretty clear that he doesn't want to be friends. So that hurts. The other friend i was really tight with, but she saw me at my worst points, and she didn't really want to hang out much after that. We still text occasionally, but she never wants to hang out. I think i would have both these people in my life still i wasn't bipolar. But i guess that is too much to ask of them. Sucks though.

i'm sorry that your friend is acting like that. It must be painful.
