I am really sorry that you are going though this. Luckily, I have a best friend and family members that try to understand but some are just angry with me or feel that I am just feeling sorry for myself. No one knows what it's really like to live with a mental disorder that is a PHYSICAL issue.

Luckily you have found your way to this place and I am sure you will get all the support you need here.

I am new and I have high hopes. I am in a balanced state and have been for some months. But almost a year ago I was in a mental hospital because I wanted to commit suicide. It has changed many relationships with people, mainly people at work that HAD to know my situation. I feel like they look at me differently and they don't talk to me like they used too. its hurtful but I realize that I am powerless in this situation and they are going to have their opinions about me. All I can do is fight to remain stable and make my life as happy as it can be. If your friends are avoiding you, that is tough but true friends wont turn their backs. I wish you all the best.
