I'm really glad I stumbled upon WP...I've been reading the forums for some time now but never really thought about joining in.
I'm 24 years old...and worked with and eventually was diagnosed by a close friend who works in the mental health profession after being misdiagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder by my doctor two years ago. It was a long battle of being frustrated and sad, but not understanding the real root of the problem. Being more educated on the subject has shed so much light and given me more piece of mind.
I always knew I wasn't like most people I knew. My whole life I've never really had friends and always felt like I was separated by everyone by some invisible wall. To this day I still feel like that. It's like I feel less alone when I'm actually alone than when I'm in a crowd of people.
I had kind of a rough day today...which eventually led me to head over here...Sometimes I wish I could just turn off my thoughts.
