No one understands me either. Part of my illness progression has been to completely isolate and essentially give up on life. So it's not often that I even get to converse with people about it. I've never been married and have no friends. The only people I converse with are my mother and brother, both of whom seem to have a hard time understanding. Neither are really judgemental but sometimes they'll say things like "you're wasting your life" and "you have so much potential, you're good looking and smart." Perhaps they're right but I don't feel that way.
