So, I am schizoaffective and find it difficult to make friend's sometimes. The past few years since my eldest started school, I have gradually made a mum friend. It's super wholesome, we're both a bit weird, struggle to make friends, we're at a point where we reach out to each other when we have stuff going on etc.
The problem I'm having is, the way this condition is, the ebb and flow of things... I'm very depressed and detached right now. I'm struggling to respond to messages etc, I feel very jumbled mentally and emotionally I'm like a pinball machine.
I'm worried about making this person feel bad or rejected because I can't always be there in the way I'd like to be. I don't want her to think it's her fault. But equally, I'm scared to tell her I'm schizoaffective as I've had such bad experiences. Especially with our kids being good friends and the stigma attached to these things... I'm not sure how to beat handle things.
Any advice please?
