Eventually, you start realizing that you need to find ways of living with the level of disability that you have. There really is no changing it. It could be possible to work on some skills and regain what you had before to some extent. However, it is likely that what you thought you had before was really somewhat of an illusion and you were never as "normal" acting as you thought.
Thanks Steve, I think you hit the nail right on the head. It's waking up one day and realizing you don't "function" like you thought you were able to function. It's funny, before the diagnosis, I thought I was pretty normal and couldn't understand why I have no friends, no girlfriend, etc.

What confuses me most is how others can "see" I'm not normal, I cannot even see it. How do they know? How do they know not to form a friendship with me or avoid me? I just don't get it, I can't see how the stuff I am saying or doing is pushing people away.
