Several of my friends are just dropping off the radar the last few months. 2 of which I thought close friends. I feel like maybe I burn them out. I am bipolar and have been manic/hypomanic several times in last few months. I call them talking and laughing nonstop. of course it ends up beng about me. I have sent several low key textx and voicemails and even written a letter to one out of town. The silence of their response is deafening. My husband says my world is so much smaller than theirs, and I obcess on it. But I know them, no reason for them to ignore. So sad. Any suggestions or should I just let them go.

This sounds important. Could you expand a little?

It doesn't sound like they were "real" friends to begin with.
A REAL friend will stay with you thru thick and thin. They'll see you thru the hard times and good.Example -- I have a friend that I've known since I was 4 yrs old. I'm now 62!! We've gone thru some pretty rough times, including a time when I was in a mental institution, thru when we both were divorced, thru the deaths of our parents, when my husband died, when my 7 yr old had cancer, when her baby was deathly ill, thru all kinds of crises! And now, even tho she lives MANY states away, we still talk very often on the phone. Sure, we've had misunderstandings, but never a real "fight." Real friends don't fight -- they may "spat" a little, but they don't fight and they NEVER dump their friends. I've had that happen to me too -- the people that I THOUGHT were my friends dumped me after my husband died!  Wasn't that nice of them? I guess a single woman in a couples group isn't wanted anymore. I'm better off without people like that. Find yourself some new friends -- people who won't treat you like your "old friends" treated you. You don't deserve to be treated like that just because you are bipolar. Afterall, you're NOT a leper, for heavens sakes! God bless and please take care! Hugs, Lee
