"The hardest thing to do is find a friend or two" ............I had the same experience with my friends in college. When they saw I was suffering from depression, that was the end of the friendships. One person's parting statement was I can't carry you. I wasn't diagnosed with BP1 for another 15 years. I am now happily medicated and functioning at life. So now they see my profile on facebook and want to friend me. I don't think so. What ever happenend to "A Friend in Need" .
