I've been going to an outpatient mental health support group...and I've been sitting there the past couple of groups feeling so disconnected from everyone else in the group. I feel like an outcast even among others with mental illness. I suffer from bipolar disorder as well, so I can relate to them as far as that goes... but not with anything else, as far as daily living and emotions. I feel like this no matter who I'm around, unless I'm with someone else with borderline personalty disoder. I guess it's just this damn disease that makes me feel that way... one minute I feel like I want to just get up and leave the group because I don't like anyone there and feel like none of them like me in return.... then a few minutes later I'm like OH these are such great people I'm so happy to be in this group. WTF???
