I dont even know what you are taking offence to?

What Im saying is, if you are severely mentally ill, you cant work, your friends all work so as you get older, weekdays you cant see them. It gets to the stage where they start to buy houses, get married and have babies and then fitting a visit in with weekend kids stuff is impossible. You find new friends, new hobbies, thats all well and good until you get sick again... then they wonder why, then the rumours start, then those who you thought we good new friends cant be bothered dealing with your ongoing mood episodes, hospital admissions or constant medicated state. In the end you go to community based groups for friendship. I've seen it a hundred times.
