I everyone I live with bipolar and really dont have friends. I stay home all day with my two youngest kids. I just wish I had some friends that I could take too online and be able to share stories with or just even talk to. well I hope you all have a good day
I have acquaintances, but not close friends, in my town. My closest friend lives 300 miles away. My mom lives 1500 miles away.
I could use a friend online. If you would like to start messaging, please feel free. I'd love to write back and forth with you and get to know you. I need someone BP to talk to, cause my "normal" friend and acquaintances really don't understand.
I'm here for you, let's be friends!

Hi i m polarbear, you could talk to me if ya like, as long as
you dont find my stories too boring. i know what you mean
about staying home. me too. i m 46, female, heres my
email, nseemace@hotmail.com !!hope to hear from you soon.
You are so not alone! I am 49. I have a grown son. I have worked up until about 1-1/2 years ago after a year long depression. I am self employed so I ended up closing my business. I think most of us with BP are picky about friends. Most do not understand what we go through and our "eccentric" ways. One thing I have learned is to keep those people that are a positive force in my life and move away from those that are not. Some have even been family. If I hear "just pull yourself up from your bootstraps" or "just think positive" one more time, I will scream. Again, those that have never experienced BP have no clue. I think this is a good place to meet people that understand and are not going to judge. I'm always looking for new friends! Hop on the bandwagon!!!

Hello,
You're not alone. I know a lot of people but have very few friends and the ones I have are recent. My friends from childhood were gone lost when I turned drug addict. I'm now clean for some years but I was addicted for a long time. My friends from then are now dead or lost somewhere.
This place (bipolarconnect) is very helpfull. I remember having an argue with my husband and you cannot imagine how kind all of the members were on replying to my sharepost. Great place. You'll find it too.
If you need a friend, I can be one.

Hi there I too use to be addict to drugs I have only been clean for now 5 years. I still have a hard time every day cause there are days I wish just to turn to drugs instead of my medication but I look at my three kids and say to myself I dont need the drugs. Thank you for wanting to be my friend that makes me feel so good inside.
I dont have to many friends either, their all in another state or have changed so much i could care less anyways, friends come and go. some people like me 39 and single no kids, dont even have any kids to keep me company, I am the lonely king, thats how i like it, i make my own rules dont have to answer to anyone. I am lonely but im really not alone i have myself and this board too. I would imagine im not alone here either theirs gota be alot of peeps on here in the same situation as you and me, ill call ya a friend though poohbear.
I used weed for 19yrs and finally stoped cold turkey, its only ben 4mnths but my new meds have made it easy. Its kinda like i dont have the craving anymore, very strange, from a bag a week to nothing oneday, I still like to plant though.
I am glad to hear about you quiting the weed. I am also glad that you havent started back up. So how are you doing tonight. Me I am sitting here just at my computer.
