I was stpd a # of years ago along with schizophrenia. everyone is somewhat odd and it's good to hold onto your beliefs. Meeting people is difficult for me. I started drinking at a young age so I could socialize and ended up drinking alone towards the end of my drinking. It sounds like you want to closer to people. One of the traits of stpd is they enjoy being alone. I would rather be alone. I don't trust many people anymore, except for family and a few friends. Why do they think you are stpd? Me....I have almost all the things listed. You might needs some meds and therapy. Maybe write down a couple of things you want to focus on. Hope you find your humanity and kick the depression. Goodluck.

I had completely forgotten until that moment, and remembering the feeling was wonderful and grand, but also painful because I realized it was something I had lost. Essentially, I have been spending my days in a low grade depression over the loss of my humanity. The irony is, in religions like Buddhism, the loss of attachment is considered a good thing. The bad thing about the loss of attachment is the loss of love. I can no longer receive love. I can't feel it. So I go into my head space and create scenarios where I am, where there is attachment and love and warmth and unconditional acceptance of my oddness and my beliefs. The biggest issue is that I get into states where I think "I want someone I love to kill me so maybe my death would be an act of love". It's becoming hard to live because of this feeling of my loss of humanity. It has warped my entire vision of reality. At times I do not mind the emotionally solitary existence I carry, but other times it's just unbearable. Does this make any sense? I almost feel like a different kind of being... The way I think and feel seem so different than most. I would love to hear from other people with STPD.
