@ ridiculoushit:

My experience with getting diagnosed and getting on medication was a huge revelation in my life also. Finally things made sense. The pills cut down on the mental noise and chaos. I was better able to get things done, interact with people without feeling overwhelmed, and less depressed.

Still not a picnic, partly because a long and difficult life results in significant emotional baggage. I have deeply ingrained feelings of isolation. I have bad experiences when I try to connect, so at some point I just quit trying to do it – if it can’t work, why go there? I also view the world differently from most people I encounter, and feel like I don’t have much in common with most people. It’s hard to know if what I feel is because I really am a freak of nature who can’t belong anywhere, or if that’s a belief – or experience – that could change.
