seriously, i feel like i'm one with a milder version of BP, yet, so many of you have families and boyfrieds or spouses.

Am I more f'd up than I realize. My latest batch of friends are now dumping me. And they are mostly only phone friends anymore. Went from in-person, to phone, to less phone, to almost non-existant. I don't blame them. I'm like a broken record, and its' taking a long time for anything to change. So I mostly was talking to them about how miserable I am, and how I've lost everything, and everybody that was in my life, and don't know how i'm gonna survive, and how it sucks that after 27yrs of hard work, i am almost completelly broke now, cuz things got unmanagable 5yrs ago.
and now its too late to marry the guy who asked me for 15 years, cuz he finally married someone else, and how i am now incapapble of doing my former work, which paid very well, and how it used to be easy to go out and find a new boyfriend but now i've gained like 50lbs. and so one an so forth.

" I can relate, I have never been married (never really even got close) and have no freinds except on here. It's not a fun place to be at our age, but I'm going to try to work on it; I hope you do too.

Good Luck "

" It sounds like you're really having a hard time and I'm sorry for that. One thing I've noticed though... friends can only handle so much of our woes before taking a hike. Maybe you should find out what they're up to and what is going on in their lives. You might get a better response. "

" mkbrn, i try to do that, i want to do that, but i am so caught up in all my issues...i can't seem to break the cycle. i guess i was looking for some kind of help at first, then just at least some kind of understanding...well now i finally found that on this site.
my other personality is like that, happy, great conversationalist, interested in the other person. but i guess then when i get to that closer level of friendship, i dump it all out...toooo much information.

thx everybody your responses help me feel better. not that i want you all not to have a life, its just i get a little jealous(and i'm not typically a jealous person) even when it's posts about issues with spouces or parents or siblings...cuz i think, they might not be handling it perfectly, but at least they are in it with you and care. for the most part.

" The only life I have ever had is my work life. I have friends; but when I was younger, I didn't hang onto friends very long. I have some long-term friends now, but I rarely talk about my bipolar disorder with any of them. I reserve that for my therapist and pdoc. Don't get me wrong; they are supportive; they just don't understand it, so I rarely talk about it.

I guess I only talk to my dad about my emotional goings-on. And he's going to croak soon, so I basically have to pay for someone to listen to me (my therapist).

As for relationships, I haven't had one in five years. I have been divorced twice. I should have married my second "real" boyfriend, but he asked me out of fear of losing me rather than out of desire to marry me, so I said no, and married someone else. that boat has sailed.

So I am alone. My life is travel. 40 hours at home on teh weekends, and I live my life out of a suitcase.

So don't despair; you aren't really alone out there. I am here for you and with you! "
