Its the way I am.. I try not to see it as such a bad thing.. just have to manage the symptoms. I also have major depression and suffer anxiety disorder to top it off.. I am so empty sometimes I think if I lay still enough my pilot light might just go out and I wont be here anymore..

Its a mental illness by diagnostic terms. and I am ok with that.. but on the other hand.. I try not to think that its is because something is inherently wrong with me...

How do I help myself..? stay alive and take one day at a time.. find precious moments that make me smile.. comedy is an amazing form of medication!

PS. Don't discount therapy...
