I feel like a loser right now. I used to move every year for school and make friends wherever I went. Now, I've been in the same city for 3 years and have no friends here at all. I had a boyfriend for a while and didn't really bother with meeting anyone else. He left because he couldn't handle the bipolar and now I have no one. I just can't seem to make friends when I'm depressed and have become more and more reclusive since I've been ill. I don't go to bars or church so I don't have much chance of meeting people. I have family I'm close to that live 100 miles away and a good friend that I stay in touch with 50 miles away, but no social support here. Has that happened to anyone else? Has your illness made you more isolated? I don't like most people anymore either, or feel like I have much in common with them. I just don't want to turn into a complete recluse!
