Hi. I need some new friends.
I have isolated myself from all my past friends, which I think was due to my bipolar, before I was diagnosed.
I realised lately that I currently have no-one I can talk to, about anything, except my partner, however that usually ends in fighting 😭

Hi @CFH
Haven't meet you before so it's nice to meet you. I hope your day is going well.
Isolating ourselves is something that I can defiantly relate too. Besides my husband, I have no one in my life that I talk too or see.
It is a bit of a mixture. I have pushed them away and they don't know how to approach me due to my mental health.
If you are looking for friends, then here is a great place to get some. I find I can relate to people on here much more than I can in real life. It does come with its own problems of course, but there is always someone around to talk too.
Do you have any supports around you? (Psych, etc)
If you feel comfortable than please keep reaching out on here.
