I don't feel have any friends either, because I don't want to risk getting hurt. A lot of people are afraid of being friends with people who are bipolar, because of the stigma associated with it. Forget about relationships too, when you tell your partner you have bipolar, they will probably run for the hills. People just don't understand our illness and forget we are human too. I'm sorry if having this mental disorder makes them feel "uncomfortable" but we didn't ask for it.
