I have been struggling with my ups and downs for most of my life, and like you have lost many a "friend" through this. The only ones I have left at the moment are the real true friends, they are not many, but they are wonderful.
A true friend is someone who loves you cares for you and stands by you when the rest of the world walks away. They accept you for who you are, without questioning or accusing or blaming. The corny saying about friends are the family you choose for yourself is true, a good friend is what your family should be like (although they rarely are). My best friend is kind, loving, generous, fun and honest, but best of all she understands me and she accepts me just the way I am.
