Friendships change over time and having a mood disorder is hard (I have BP 1, too). After I became disabled, I joined a local bipolar support group and made friends there. Unfortunately, I lost touch with a lot of my prior friends when I was practicing law. A lot of it was me isolating and not being able to share what was going on with me due to social stigma in the legal community where I live.

You sound like a unique, interesting person and I mean that in a positive way! Hang in there. xoxox
