BF, my friends backed away from me during a long period of mania, and more so after my s/s attempt. Many people just don't know how to handle mental health problems. I could call some of them to reestablish those connections now that I'm stable, but I won't because I feel like good friends never would have abandoned me like that. Other friends have fallen away over the years for various reasons. I can understand the isolation you feel in that regard.

I'm married, but I spend most of my time alone. I go out for doctors' appointments, to go grocery shopping, and the pharmacy. When I'm home, I have 3 cats. They're very good company :)

I'm sorry you are still grieving over your sister's death. I know that it will take some time. Losing a sibling is a very difficult loss.

Thank you Kay. I sometimes prefer space between other people,and I. Not all of the time though. I feel lonely when people are present.

There are verses in the bible that make me feel Gods presence. God is my companion through all of what I go through.

Isaiah 41:10

Oh Steve, I am so sorry to hear of your sister's passing. Her battle and pain is no more, but the hearts of those behind are left with loss and ache. She is close with you though. :hug:

I thought about you with the crazy storms taking the southern state on and leaving us with not much bad weather at all. We had some sleet/snow/freezing rain last but it was the 0* temps that really bothered my aches and pains.

Hope you didn't lose power and are safe and warm today.
Be well my friend,
hugs
Di

Thank you Di. I didn't loose power during the storm. It became icy after the snow storm, but quickly thawed the next day. Thank you for thinking about me. BF:hug::hug::hug:
