>Dari - I remember a book title written by a soviet spy called "I led two lives." I feel that way all the time. You think about other people "if they only knew." I heard someone else refer to it as the imposter syndrome. It's pretty exhausting to always feel like you have to be something that you aren't. ksvt
Hey everyone:
> With Halloween approaching, I can't help but feel that though my costume is okay, I've wound up at the wrong damn party. I probably look like any number of suburban moms across the country - the bob haircut, reasonably attractive, reasonably slender, GAP jeans clad, kid in tow... However, I have to wonder why I feel so @#)*#@ different! I'm an emotional mess. I see people in stores buying christmas stuff already and think, jesus, I can't put together a grocery list for the week - I have to go every day. Before I stopped drinking almost three years ago (and before all of the diagnoses that I've received since) I could do it all, too. I can't any more...
> Oh shit, panic attack... can't type
