Coping with age & serious illness. Anyone positive want to share?

Thank you for sharing. I have also struggled with bipolar disorder my whole life, but it was misdiagnosed as depression. I am 60 years old and married, but I would like to make some new friends. I’m a bit introverted and often get nervous around new people so it’s hard. What social groups did you join to meet new people?

Have you heard of Silent Book Club, where people get together at a local coffee shop or other venue with their current book? No pressure to talk or present. It just helps you mix with like-minded people who love to read.

@bewildered sometimes, making new friends just begins with friendly hellos…also, don’t be afraid to initiate more connections..reaching out with a simple helping hand can be the beginning of good connections…wishing you very well.
