I had a small social life prior to covid, now I really don't have any social life at all. I mean, going to the grocery store is a Big Deal because I see other people. Seriously.
Anyway, how does BD affect my social life? I'm not much of a socializer. I'm pretty much a loner. I'd much rather watch people than talk to them (although during covid, not talking to people has gone a bit far).
Honestly, I'm not sure that BD has negatively affected my social life as much as childhood trauma has.
Of course, I'm speaking from a place of being at least fairly stable on meds. If I was not on meds...I would likely be much more social and less inhibited, because I would probably be in a hypomanic state most of the time. I know when I was in my teens and 20's, before meds, I was extremely social.
Hmm...so that says something right there, doesn't it? I was very social before meds, barely social when on them. That's how BD has affected me socially.
