Hi everyone...
I'm a 30 year old woman from Eastern Canada. I've been diagnosed since I was 20-ish.
What is really a struggle for me these days are personal relationships, and that ever-elusive
sense of self... would like to have a sense of self one day. I feel so confused about who I am,
what I want out of life and relationships. The amount of pain that I feel... well... you guys can
understand. That's why I'm here posting on this board... so I can support and be supported by people who understand. I am so sick of people close to me telling me I should try harder, go for a jog, stop feeling "sorry for yourself" (that's my favorite).
I have a boyfriend of a few months. He is extremely loving, sensitive, caring... and I am totally feeling the push/pull thing with him, and such guilt, as well. Intimacy is such a huge challenge for me... us both, actually. I've had a difficult day, I just feel like crying and crying and crying.
I just need to feel that someone is there to hear me once in a while.
Thank you.
