This is my first day signed in and posting...but I know I'm here because I feel isolated. I put on a face that few can see past that must look normal (whatever that really is) - and I am so tired of faking it and when I can't fake it I become a shut-in; it's awful and a waste of the gift that life should be. I'm hoping that I can connect here to others who are like me, I want to connect and give encouragement when possible and find tools and comfort when I'm shutting down, like today.
