Seeing as medication is still trying to be balanced out i'm still quite up and down, after leaving secondary school i've slowly grown away from my old friends and not really made any new ones. I feel so alone. There's one girl that i've always been extremely close to and felt like I could console in her but she doesn't have time for me anymore.. I have other friends but none I can really feel I can talk to. If i'm honest my only question is how can I pick up old friendships to the extent were I can talk about these sort of things? I hate being lonely and this has just made everything worse. Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (21 October 2011): It's not always possible to re-connect with friends after a break, particularly in early adulthood. People grow a lot during this time and sometimes grow apart. To help re-establish old friendships, take it slowly and casually. But you might find that you don't feel that same friendship anymore. Be prepared to make new friends, it's hard at first but well worth it. I would recommend that you seek a support group which would be a great opportunity to get to know people who really understand dealing with cyclothemia. It could lead to mutually enriching friendships!
