I’ve never done it personally, but back when I still used Facebook I had a few people from my past look me up. I haven’t always tried to be a good person and that past brings up a lot of shame. Had to delete it. It was nothing but ex’s wanting something or old drug using buddies.

25 years ago, I looked up my best friend from high school and told her that I was in love with a woman. She just said, “Oh no!”.

I haven’t seen my old friends in over 10 years. It would be nice if I could see them again like @PinCushion did after a long time.

I called a girl I knew since grade 7, mostly i was ill and wanted to see if she was in on the plot to get me, I loved her, but she was always married so nothing I could do about it. She was happy to hear from me

I sometimes want to contact my exes to send them apologies, explanations, tell them I was sick, and that I’m somewhat better now.
Luckily I alwayd stop myself. It wouldn’t do any of us any good to make contact and rip open those wounds.

I tried but no response really.
They did not answer or want anything to do with me 
.
I recently sent my xboyfriend a t shirt.
It was many years ago we were together but heis the only boyfriend my heart clicked with sexually.i did not send him my address.we are in different countries.i have his number and might send him a text.
I wrote a letter to a old friend but she never got back to me.
I have tried to get in touch but nothing came of it.
I made a Facebook friend who was a friend when I was a child but we never write to each other but at least we are Facebook friends I guess but would be nice if we interacted or were able to meet n hangout but we are not.
I lost my friends when I was psychotic perhaps.

I maybe have two contacts from my school days, ditched the rest. They were unhealthy for me then and they would be now as they’re still drinking up a storm.

Yes, it’s good to make contact with childhood friends. Brings back good memories and gives you a fresh outlook at the problems you had. @everhopeful, if you know the church your friends went to, that is a good place to find someone who would know their whereabouts.

I made contact with some folks when I took Latuda and the loneliness created by having the voices go away caused me to crave the attention of others. I found my college roommate online and we exchanged emails but my second email was ignored. I contacted a woman who I used to have a crush on but that didn’t go well because it was mixed with anger. I put a bunch of friends on Facebook that I had connections with in the past but my writing got so erratic and angry that my family kicked me off for a year. By the time I was back on 4 people had unfriended me. I was pissed off when I was finally free of my shackles and attacked people I had no business attacking. It was kinda of like getting out of jail after over 2 decades having not committed a major crime and being enraged about it. Essentially the answer sadly became becoming ill again because the voices were both my tormentors and my conscious. I not saying they purposely did it but that’s essentially how it went.

For years I would see someone from my past on a bus or somewhere else like a store or a bus stop and a lot of the time I didn’t evenlike them or know them well but I would smile and strike up a conversation.
It was a bad habit because most of the time it was people from the hospital or at old jobs and my reasoning was that we went through the ringer in the hospital so we should acknowledge that. But most of the time they were kind of lukewarm about talking, though a few were friendly. But I got enough bad reactions so I don’t do that anymore.

I have found people from my past, but I’m not back in contact with them because I don’t want them to know I have schizophrenia.

I used to look up my old school buddys on FB. But after them bragging with their car in garage with a wife in their careers - it tended to piss me off. So i dont bother anymore.
They were a load of arrogant tosspots at school anyway.
