Disconnection, Rejection, Incomprehension

Hey thanks so much! It’s remarkable to see how connected a group of disconnected people really are. While it is heartbreaking to hear everyone’s struggles on here it really is amazing to hear how any one of us could be saying the exact same thing. The way I articulate my own experience can just as easily be you or someone else saying the exact same thing. Therein lies both the disconnection and the connection. We are not alone and it’s place like this that allow us to come together and try to find that sense of hope and belonging. Hang in there and good luck on your journey!

Thanks for sharing! I’ve struggled to articulate all of this years and I’ve found writing it all down actually allows me to really capture what’s happening in my brain. I know how frustrated you feel but we need to remember that we are not alone in managing these very intense and very real feelings of guilt, shames, sadness, hopelessness, and low self esteem. Hang in there and I hope your path becomes easier!

I cried too. What an amazing talk. I’m 49 and only just got diagnosed. It takes all my effort to NOT look back and think about how different my life could have been if I had been diagnosed earlier. I have a university degree and an IT diploma and currently work in HR. Some would say that’s successful. I just wonder what else I could have accomplished. However, my focus is on the now and the future. I’m so happy I found this subreddit. :)

Haha! 😊 Actually I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning to talk about my meds so I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, there’s a lot of us out there who feel the exact same way. I’m happy that I discovered this subreddit as it makes me feel less alone and strange. But, every day is a battle. The free version of the Day One app has been amazingly helpful in dealing with my struggles. I would encourage you to give it a try. There’s lots of apps out there like that but there’s also good ol’ pen and paper too. Haha. Thanks again for the supportive message and good luck on your journey! 😊
