hello.
this is my first post here. tell you the truth i'm not even sure why i'm here. i feel a bit of a fake - since it appars everybody (docs, friends, social workers) all say i am better. but, you know i don't feel like it.
it is almost 10 am on the morning watch, yet i've been up for 3 days now. yes, there was some 10-15 min cat-nap, but no more. so here i am.
i think i am here because i am a bit tired and lonely. don't know which is first.
i am 32 this year and though, i've been "ill" since 12-14, only after i lost the love of my life in 2000, did i get "official."
i have PTSD, GAD, Agoraphobia, Depression and i'm Borderline.
all this is fine, but changes little: what i really am is someone who's been told that what i feel is NOT real.
i think i can live with all the others, but to not trust what i feel, to have constantly "confirm" what i feel with others (docs etc) is what gets to me.
i know no one who feels something that is not there. i am such a person: when i feel pain, i must push it aside, question it and doubt it.
what does one do, when one looses the ability to trust one's own sensations? six years and counting - how can i live like this?
is there anybody out there?
