Its very hard coming to terms with being 'different' - I myself am starting to realise just how much being 'different' has affected my life. After about 3 to 4 years on and off various ADs I am begining to realise that its more than 'just a phase' and that this is a true illness.
I think of all the things I could have done if only I weren't ill - people at univerisity who I was just as clever as are now doing all these great things with their lives like PhDs, masters and have professional jobs, getting married etc. Meanwhile I struggle merely to exist with daily life and have an admin job that I am overqualified to do.
I get very frustrated - why me? Why do I have to be m******y ill?
I'm begining to doubt that I will ever get properly better. It will always be there, hanging over our heads limiting everything we do.
