I can totally understand your feelings of inadequacies. I too feel that. I have Schizoaffective Disorder (Depressive type). I am 27 and I feel like a failure because I can't do what other people my age can do. I hate it. However, I am very open about my diagnosis; the depression side and even the schizophrenia side. I talk about it sometimes on Facebook. If people are uncomfortable with it then they can leave. But don't get me wrong that rejection would hurt me very badly.
