You mention a mental illness but you are not specific. It sounds like it doesn't interfere with your ability to interact with teachers and fellow students in a normal university environment. So what is the problem?
I suffer from bipolar disorder, OCD and psychosis. OCD causes me to take twice as much time to do things, due to which I'm a part time student. And since I'm a part time student, it isn't easy to befriend other (full time) students as they move more quickly than I do.
Is being isolated really a problem for you?
I ask because it isn't a problem for me. You don't make it sound like it's a real problem for you either. Have you addressed that with your therapist?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
