i have great friends who know about me having bipolar disorder. they are understanding of it. but I still feel isolated, because sometimes I just want to talk about something like my medications or my episodes. i try not to go too in depth because I understand they don’t know what to say sometimes because they can’t relate. But sometimes my friends just ignore what I say and stop replying (through text usually). 
For example, today my friend and I were texting quite a bit consistently back and forth but as soon as I bring up one of the side effects of my medication (disassociating a lot), she stopped replying. And sometimes she doesn’t reply for days and then she will randomly text me starting a whole new conversation. I know it’s not that big of a deal and I keep telling myself it’s hard for them because they don’t know what to say I bet, but I just feel like I have no one to talk to about any of this. I feel so alone. I have a therapist of course, but sometimes I just want to talk about it without trying to fix something. I just want to vent or whatever. I have one friend that even says I have multiple personalities even though I’ve explained more than once that it’s a mood disorder, not a personality disorder. She doesn’t get it, so I just don’t talk about it with her. Even if it’s laughing about something, it’s not always grim. I don’t know. Does anyone else feel isolated sometimes?
