I have two really good friends that are around my age. I don't see them as much as I would like, but that happens as you age. I have some older people that I'm around that I would consider friends. They have a good amount to say. I feel like I can learn from them, and what I should avoid.

With all of these people they know I'm bipolar, and they know that if due to the condition somethings can be strained. But despite it all I have been able to build people around me that I consider friends that I have good relationships with.

Behavior Cognitive Therapy is what helped me, and what still helps me today. I know that if I'm around to friends all the time I get stressed, but at the same time I want to be around them at times. I have to equal it out so that I don't overload myself with stress.
