absolutely kimmy,
When i first really got to grips with what was wrong with me I felt like the lonliest person in the world and also the weirdest. I was embarassed and felt like i should be trying to hide the problem. I mean, other people inside me?! How could it really be true and was i the only weirdo on the planet.
As for qualifications, I have an honours degree in Politics and when i think back to it and how i got it I shudder. I doesnt feel like my degree and, even to this day, i dread the day someone asks me to explain how i got it! I even expected someone else to stand up when my name got called at my graduation ceremony as I was sure i shouldnt be getting it.
It really has been a wild trip on a whole load of levels.
Its been good to talk on this, it really does help when you find others with a similar experience. It sorta makes me think "hey, maybe im normal" ( well maybe not!

)
