I have bipolar
I'm looking to make friends with people with similar experiences, I'm 59, live on my own and feel quite lonely. It would be good to connect and share coping skills.
It's completely normal to crave connections, especially with people who understand where you're coming from. Making friends who share similar experiences can definitely help. What are some things you enjoy doing?
I'm very lonely what is the purpose of life
How can I connect with you I to am very lonely
@Teddynmuffin hi how you i am scott nice to meet you
Having bipolar makes tough maintaining friends. Find a support group. Friend ship is a two way process. Find some one who needs your help. They will help you or the karma will support you thru someone else .
Hi everyone, thank you for your replies. I don't think there is a way to connect one to one on this site so I guess we have to chat here
I enjoy crochet and various crafts but unfortunately I've been in a very depressed mood for a few months now and finding it difficult to motivate myself to do the things I used to enjoy. Medications make me feel very tired all day and some days I can't even go out, and when I do go out it's usually just to the local shop and back. I'm under the mental health team but I don't find them very helpful, there isn't a lot out there in my area I have used some of the services in the past but I have lost a lot of confidence so I'm struggling to connect again. I hope you're all keeping well
@turquoiseSkies9545 Hii, members can't dm each other so I am thinking we can exchange reddit id and chat there? I am 18 and have been dealing with anxiety since a long time. I am here for you and would listen to you happily.
Hi Skies, I can relate to you a lot, I also have bipolar and I love to crochet. Lately I’ve also found it really hard to motivate myself to get out of the house and crochet or do hobbies. Take it one day at a time and try to do a little bit everyday, maybe make a routine. I hope you find the connection you’re looking for, I understand how difficult that can be. Much love ❤️
I would love to connect with you. I live in Maine though so we would only be able to use phone or Zoom. My email is pashnault@***.com
I look forward to talking with you.
Be well
