I have one good friend and thats supposed to be enough but I do remember a time in college when I had many. That was fun. My only friend is a old friend and we hang out by going to a gym. I have not checked out the NAMI that is near me yet. My Pdoc does not believe in group style events for me because he thinks other peoples' problems may cause uneeded anxiety. I do not know if this is true for me. After all, I did join this forum.
