As of right now, I have three people in my circle: my mom, my girl best friend, and my guy best friend. They all know I struggle with bipolar 1 and PTSD. They each call me out when I'm having an episode, accurately, without being rude or whatever. They're good sources of emotional support. We also share a lot of common interests and life views. Overall, they're a good support system, and I couldn't ask for much better. 

However, given that there are only three of them, I sometimes feel lonely. Like today, for example. Me and my mom had to get up at dawn, because she had to have a colonoscopy. She was super tired from waking up so early and the procedure itself, so she napped for several hours. Meanwhile, my girl best friend had gone out of town with some of her friends a couple of nights ago, and it messed up her sleep schedule pretty badly. So, she was asleep for half the day too. The guy best friend is going back to school and dealing with family problems, so he's constantly busy these days. He makes time for me whenever he's un-busy, and I'm grateful, but he just simply isn't always available. 

My point is, there are going to be circumstances like today where having as small of a circle as I do just isn't ideal. I've been killing time by either posting here or making up conversations with people in my head (the latter of which may not be healthy, idk, I'm no doctor). 

But my fear is that I'm not in ideal friend-making circumstances. I'm unemployed and don't have any meaningful hobbies at the moment, so where would I meet a potential friend? Also, I've just began doing trauma work with my therapist. I wonder how emotionally available I would even be for a potential friend. I feel caught between a rock and a hard place, because I want more friends, but circumstances in my life aren't ideal for friend-making at the moment. 

Thoughts?
