Right now I feel left behind. My friends have all graduated college and are married with kids and I'm still struggling through it with bipolar disorder. Part of it is that I want what they have. I had a fiancee who died last year in an accident. My CBT therapist wants me to join clubs and make friends. The kids are so much younger than I am. And I don't know how to make friends. I'm socially awkward and ADD. Inevitably, I scare them off. So how do I make friends knowing I won't know how stable I'll be in a week or even a month? What is friendship anyway? The friends I have are all friends from high school.
