How can I get out side and see my friends that I haven't seen in 2 years? -I NEED YOUR HELP!!?

Question

I'm a 16 year old male with bipolar disorder, and the illness started 2 years ago at the summer before year 10 (grade 9). It led to me becoming depressed, paranoid, isolated and I stopped attending school and seeing my friends. Rumours started out that I had died, or had an accident, and people forgot about me.

Work-wise it went fine, I've got great results for my GCSEs considering that fact that I haven't been there, and I'm planning on going to the sixth form in about 2 weeks.

I have been sectioned for a period of time, put on heavy medication by a crappy mental health team etc...... I don't what to do anymore. How can I get out and see my friends. I've last all their phone addresses, msn addresses. I procrastinate on creating a myspace profile, because how can I get 400-1000 contacts just like that - sure it's prossible. I don't know, what can I do. Should I join clubs, should I set up the myspace now?

Answer 2

Absolutly get a Myspace. You will get friends and be able to do all the socializing you can not physically bring yourself to do at this time. I am a mom to a little girl with mental disorders and have trouble finding sitters to watch her so I do not get out.

Join online groups ...Sweety thats what they are there for. As a matter of fact I am starting a group now for children and teens with disorders and their families. It is not much now but I hope it will be a great place for us to support each other, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cpdhelp If you want to you can check it out, if not that is fine to. Sweety just hang in there. You will get through this. I feel your pain and I understand. You will not now or ever be alone.You will also have friends. The thing is if they have forgotten you and chose to not try to keep contact that is their loss and stupidity because there is nothing wrong with you. You my dear are just unique.
