My sister is my close friend. We talk at length everyday about everyday things. We talk about metaphysical stuff sometimes which is interesting. She’s really smart. I’m good friends with my ex-husband but we only talk about once a month now, he doesn’t love talking on the phone. We talk on facebook sometimes. I have a few other friends I’ve known for over 20 years that I don’t talk to very often but I could turn to them and them to I.
None irl. I have 2 that call me video chat. They want to hang out but I don’t. I made them when I was on Abilify because all my preSZ friends left me, some deleted and blocked me in FB including my best childhood friend that I knew from 10 to 25 y.o. He’s a cardiologist and I thought drs are more considerate towards mental illness, I guess not.
I would say my brothers but I don’t see them often or go out with them, they have their own friends. They work everyday and go out with their gf and friends after work.
I’ve never been good at making friends . So for me it’s not been a case of several friends pre becoming seriously mentally ill to no friends after becoming so .
I like to hang around four really good friends. They are all married, and some have a large family. One friend has nine children. They live an hour away, so I don’t get to see them often. I’ve met some good people here, too. Although we never see each other, we get to talk. I’m thankful for all my friends. They have a great sense of humor and are mature. I love my friends.
It is nice! I know, nine kids right? They have four children who are deaf, and they adopted a young teen from Europe who is also deaf. They are an amazing family. I don’t know how they do it.
They are a lovely family but I think most people aren’t like them. My sister has seven kids, my brother has six kids and I have five. Our reunions are chaotic but really fun. It was scary for a while, but everyone in my family is supportive. It’s so important to have a strong support system and be stable.
i have quite a few old friends that i no longer see anymore. 1 friend i see regularly, but we are not that close since he works 55 hours a week. i don’t tell him any secrets or anything like that. then there are a couple of older ladies who my mom is friends with that i have also befriended. they travel everywhere and are always inviting me to go on vacation somewhere, i just have to pay for my own food and activities. well before covid 19 anyhow. but i only see them 3 times a year probably.
yea I am similar. I have like three friends but we are not close.
I really miss having a close friend but I know I am too depressed to bring anyone into my life. even close friends, it is not just the case for a bf.
I would love to build a stronger relationship with my sister one day since we share some things in common and we are very close in age but now is not the time to hang out with her because of my anxiety.
