hi friends!

I am doing really well in my recovery after so so much suffering, inpatient and outpatient, so many different meds. I lost everyone in my life aside from my mom. my siblings won't talk to me since my manic episode in August. 

so now, I'm slowly reaching out to old friends, even my ex, my old roommates.. and I'm so surprised but they're willing to talk. it's been a year at least since I saw most of them.

my question is: have any of you lost partners and gotten back together? lost family and friends and reconnected? I'd love any anecdotes or anything you've learned about the process.

 I'm so nervous. I don't fear rejection so much as I did, but of course it would still be hard. I just wonder if we can really find love and safety again or if they'll be afraid of me forever.
