I feel so alone. I am Bipolar II and none of my friends understand. They just get angry with me and lecture me when I have a depressive or paranoid episode. They think I'm just making excuses for my poor behaviour. They seem to be avoiding me.
I haven't seen two of my best friends for weeks, and when I confront them about it, they get very defensive about how busy they've been with work. I'm not working right now, am on disability, so they seem angry about that since they have to work and I don't. They just get so lecturing whenever I try to explain my feelings of sadness and lonliness, and say those are my problems to sort out. I feel so alone and depressed about this I don't know what to do with myself. I want to cut myself, but I know I shouldn't.
