For me I don’t have good luck with friends. My non-mentally ill childhood friend bailed. I had a friend from college that I found out had bipolar. We got a long great. Down the road she stopped answering calls and texts. She did not believe in taking meds. I met met a lady in mental health support group. She is a LPN and has bipolar 2. After a while we became good friends. I eventually moved out of state but we stayed in contacted. We would talk or text every few months. She was back in school to become an RN and I was so proud of her. I called one day to check on her. Someone answered the phone and said I had the wrong number. Just like that she was gone. My childhood friend I knew for 18 years. But my two bipolar friends we shared more and deeper. I miss the two of them so much it hurts.
