I joined this forum today because I don't
want to be alone in this illness anymore.
I have been fighting since I was five
beginning with social anxiety, severe
depression and continuing on into psycho
schizoid affective disorder. I feel
unwell all the time. I am never a part of
the earth around me, trapped in places and
scenes I can not escape from. My family
is unsupportive and tells me to "knock it
off" even though I can no longer work and
receive disability. I am alone yet
smothered by people who continuosly expect
me to be something else. I want to be
free. Why can't I just have a moment of
my own?
