Hi,
You have two serious conditions. We talk a lot here about how others people don't understand us with mental illness. At the end of the day we cannot do anything about displaying an invisible illness.
What we need to acknowledge is that people seek social interaction through conventional means, clubs, sport, interests etc. Other community organizations like rotary, lions and op shops are good because they don't have specific interests like focussing on model airplanes or a model of car, they concentrate their spare time on community projects. For this reason you should focus on your compatibility with the members as most important.
The only way to move forward is to give it a try. Contact the leader of your local Rotary or Lions club and ask for a chat one on one.
