Since I seldom tell anyone about having BP I feel more that my disorder has had a serious effect on my "life functioning."
For example, I have never had a normal job. I just can't work full-time. The result of that is that I've always been poor and cannot keep up with friends who own nice homes, drive late-model cars, can afford to go out to dinner at expensive restaurants, and so on.
I am pretty sure friends (these are woman I've known since grade school) think I'm just "eccentric" and choose to be poor. So I don't get invited to the classy dinners or the bunko nights.
It hurts and the result is that I feel so alone. I use Facebook as a way to at least have some kind of connections with old friends.
