The friends I had were from psychward, and well... You know how well that can work out. Drunken telephone calls and using me for a baby sitter instead of a friend, or they end up in a nursing home.

I'm horrible at making real friends, and NAMI friends can be just as bad as psychward friends. (Mainly because they have their own shit to deal with.) I kind of gave up on finding these rare creatures called friends. Send out my phone number how many times I like, only 1 out of 20 call back twice.
