Those are good qualities you've listed for a friendship @BlueBay. You're right about people being busy, and distracted with all the news & entertainment options on offer now, people often consume content instead of connecting. And many people don't know how to help a friend with MI, which can make them feel powerless as they don't know that you just need them to hold space and be there with you. Maybe more education needs to be available for helping friends understand what we need or want from them. Have you ever thought about putting that experience into a short article or written piece about what it's like to be you and what friends can do to help others?
