Well, it's official. I've lost all my real-life friends due to BP. Have you lost friends due to BP?

When I'm depressed, I don't want to hang out with anyone. I just want to be by myself... However, my friends interpret it as not wanting to hang out with them anymore.

When I'm hypo/manic, I can become annoying because I'm VERY chatty. I also do lots of crazy things uncharacteristic of myself, like drive recklessly with them in the car and weird things like that.

Anyway, my only friend stopped talking to me about a month ago. I asked if she wanted to hang out (I said, "we should hang out again"), but she ignored it and continued to say other things. Then when I asked her again 2 hours later, she ignored it and said other things.

This was all a month ago and we haven't chatted since. I basically chose not to continue talking to her because she ignored me when I wanted to hang out, so I figure she's not interested in a friendship with me.

I'm content with being by myself, although it would have been nice to have at least *one* friend. But it's okay. I've learned not to let my happiness be dictated by other people.
