I've lost all my friends irl. I only have acquaintances. Which I struggle with.

There are 3 women I have known for 22 years and 17 years and 15 years through a volunteering role we all shared we worked at Barnardo's as play leaders for children and young people with disabilities.

There are 3 women I have know for under 10 years I met through mental health.

There are 5 women and 1 guy I met through current volunteering as a Peer Recovery Volunteer. So we all have lived experiences of mental health

The only real friend I have is my Twin. That's pretty pathetic. I lost my 10 friends when I became ill and list my job. I guess I'm more acquaintance material than friend material
