I read an article by past president of Google or whatever criticizing the superficiality of the social media world. With all the magic now at our fingertips, and Psych Central the only place where so many people understand me, I am really having trouble with everyone racing around at breakneck speed.
I have had one close friend my whole life, and then another. I am a friendship serial monogamist! Same with men.
Now I cant for the life of me find someone people who wants to go one on one, especially in real life. My current friend is not real well, and its a long story.
In trying to minimize my bipolar symptoms, I really cant juggle relationships.
I am so introverted that going to writers meet ups or bipolar groups are very triggering. I met all my friends different ways: adopting out a pet, neighborhood forum, a really high quality bipolar group in Pasadena. So I guess I just need to keep on keepin' on. With the holidays upon us, this is my hardest time to get through 3 holidays where I must not take on too much or have fantasized expectations. I need to take things really slow, always, as life swirls around me. Right now I am in a nasty mixed state because I took on too much for Thanksgiving.
I guess this is mostly a rant, with many of you going through the same. Thanks for being there and understanding this!
