What social life? When I’m stable I’ve gotten friends but then mania either scares them or drives them up a wall. Then when I’m depressed I don’t interact with people or animals at all. My cat gets very upset if I go to bed during the day cause he remembers me spending a year there. As I’ve gotten older I just keep people at a distance, it’s easier than losing them. I had one friend eons ago that took my swings in stride. When I was manic she told me direct to my face that I was irritating her and she needed a break. So I’d go off and be manic somewhere else. When I was depressed she’d call and leave positive little messages but didn’t expect me to respond. We were friends for years but we both moved around and at one point lost touch. I suppose I could try google but I don’t.
