I don't know if this is the PTSD or something else, but I want to ask if anyone else feels this way...
I am 35 years old and on disability because of my mental health issues. Whenever I am around adults that have children or are able to work, I feel like I am not a peer but more like they are the "grown-up" and I am just a kid. I generally only feel comfortable around others with mental illness or with children. Maybe it's because I can relate better with them than with "normal" adults? I just wondered if I'm the only one who feels this way. Thanks for responding...
