hiboyof211, yeah, my brain is constantly producing thoughts/scenarios that take my focus away from reality and keep me in my own world. It can isolate me to the point of feeling like I'm not a part of anything or anybody around me. I have no true connections. Writing out my thoughts and talking about it help me. Its tough though...personally, I have to sometimes really push myself to keep talking with real people and participating in society. I know I can't allow myself to ever completely loose contact and just live in my own world because I may never be able to get get out of it. Well, all I can really say is to keep pushing yourself to maintain what you have now--then, grow more from it.....D
