In reply to what you are saying, is that basically we want to belong to a pack, it's in our nature.
I understand your comment all too well "Wanting to make and keep friends, but never having periods of stability long enough to do it - and it's lonely" With the ever changing mood, it is difficult to make and keep friends. If we don't have the stable platform to maintain stability ongoing, people see changes and perhaps don't understand and fade out of our lives, which is what happens to me alot.

Maybe this is a common problem with us bipolar afflicted? Wanting to make and keep friends, but never having periods of stability long enough to do it - and it's lonely.
