Triggering (SI/OD) - Social issues

Ive never been the most social person out there, but Ive always had a fair amount of friends...It had changed the last years, and the last year Ive basically isolated myself, apart from one good friend I avoid being social most of the time.
Ive suffered from depression for almost 4 years, but recently got the diagnose bipolar 2. Usually the issue is not being social, but it's getting out...And NO matter how well it goes I always feel terrible afterwards. Even if I just chat with people online and they tell me they have to leave I feel overwhelmed. It can't be normal? I talked to my friend just now, Ive been "up" most of the day, talked a lot, being unpatient, writing like crazy etc. When she told me she had to leave it was like my whole world crushed, I know it sounds way over the top, but it's how it feels.
I feel really down. And I cant help blaiming her, which makes me mad at myself, because she's a great person.

When Im in a comfortable social situtaion I still kinda look forward to being alone, Im not able to be social too long at once, but when Im alone I feel terrible. It's just confusing. It's like going from one thing to the other's a huge problem for me. It makes me stay away from social situations because I fear how it'll be afterwards. I cant help getting mad at people because I feel like they're "leaving" me...I feel so lonely. I often end up SI-ing,cant get my mind of pills and stuff like that.
It's always the same thing, I get upset, I cant help but think they dont really like me, even though I know it's stupid.
Even when I have a great day, when I actually am able to get myself out of bed, by the end of the day I will most likely regret not staying in bed. And I really dont get why.

Im not a person who shows a lot of emotions, but I get attached to people way too easily. I have problems focusing on the nice experiences Ive had and instead focusing on the fact that I'll never get that experience/relationship back.

In my last therapy session they told me about this youth group for people with mental problems and stuff, and they said I was welcome. I kinda wanna go, but on the other side, i KNOW Im gonna end up hate it even though I like it(I know that doesnt make much sense)

Also, I doubt people will understand if I tried telling them cause I dont really understand it myself.

Am I understanding correctly - when you're manic, you pour out words at people, typing away online, maybe overwhelming them? That you also feel overwhelmed and cannot face getting out to socialise, so it all gets bottled up inside, and pours out whenever you see people?

I really do understand what you mean, I could have written that myself.
Sorry that I have no advice.

why not give the youth group a try? they wouldn't have suggested it if they didn't think it could help... it coud be a good halfway point between being/not being socialble?

Thanks :)

Ye, I guess it could...Most of the people there are older than me, which I actually think is gonna feel more secure than if they were my age.
But I dunno.

Im pretty sure the bipolar diagnose is wrong(no,Im not asking for you to give me a new diagnose:P) But I think Im gonna talk to my therapist about it..
