I can't get regular people to understand me. I'm supposedly in the 1% of the population, because of bipolar disorder. Not only that, I believe that I have a personality disorder because I have trouble keeping friends. My msin issue is alcohol dependency which is deemed to be not that big of a deal, based on our culture,

Welcome! bipolar and alcohol dependency, hmm? we've got a lot in common already. why do you think you have a personality disorder? bipolar and alcohol, either alone or particularly together, can make it pretty hard to keep friends; you may not need to look for other culprits.

i'm on the same boat... i haven't been diagnosed bipolar but thats because i dont have insurance, dont have a doctor, etc etc. i have anxiety/panic attacks/depression/serious drinking problem!!
i have lost many friends over the years. i either start trouble when im drunk, embarass myself and/or my friends, or i screw it up someway or another. i can't hold a friendship, i can't hold a relationship, i can't hold a job. so i am doing my damnest to quit drinking... enough is enough. it's ruining my life and im only 27.
i have found lots of support from this website over the years. many people are experiencing the same thing and know what you and i are going through. i've received some good advice from people here. and it always helps to write when you feel down and hopeless, it sure helps me.
