I'm new here.
My best friend is making my life difficult at the moment. I'm having insomnia over the conflict in which I can't seem to be able to solve no matter what I do. I have been having problems with my bipolar disorder because of the insomnia.
any advice or empathy would be great. I'm trying meditation that I found online and sometimes it helps but sometimes it doesn't.

Welcome to the forums @Blueruby
@life is hard when you experience conflict with a friend. It is something you can talk with them about and try and smooth it over???
feel free to vent here... plenty of people who can relate
you may not always get an immediate reply to you post... but someone generally comes along and is there to listen
