Psychological Support (bipolar depression)

what i described above, is probably 1/3 - 1/2 of what bipolar 2 means to me (though closer to possibly 2/3 - 3/4).

i have experienced this all the time with my local friends. in fact, #1 out of 3 strictly stopped talking to me without notice, #2 out of 3 still contacts me when it makes sense to her, and #3 out of 3 is a friend i have given hell to. #3, she literally has had to deal with all of my worst days. there isn’t a lot of contact with her this year, and i totally understand every reason why. last year, she made me as happy as i could be, this year is very conservative. i honestly don’t know how she lasted this long as a great friend with my bs. she will never read this, but i owe her my life for some bad times. i will never disregard her, as she is one of my lifelong best friends.

there are also several posters on sr, i love hate. they would do anything for me as they would each other. most importantly, as we don’t always get along, i would do the same for all of them. best crowd of rejects (jk). i would ever want to be a part of.

hardest thing about an illness is keeping friendships. i understand 100% why these are broken, but makes it no less tough to deal with. does a friendship break affect normal people night, day, every thought between? i can’t imagine so, at least for every one. these are the feelings we have all the time.
