I was supposed to meet someone there but he never showed and I went in because it had been a 30 minute drive.
I think nami has groups in my area but again I don’t know if I could bring myself to attend.
I almost feel like…arrogant for assuming no one else feels the way I do. Like of course there are people who have the same issues as me. I feel like I’m too far out there with my 20+ hospitalizations and tendency to err on the side of mild to severe psychosis at times. But there MUST be other people in the group who have that background or at least something I can relate to. I’m just so used to shutting everyone out.

I also have trouble going places. I have moderate agoraphobia. I also tend to keep people (not my kids) at a distance. I feel like if they knew the real me they would reject me. I’ve been hospitalized 5 times. Possible trigger:
I also experienced what began as mild psychosis and became severe psychosis over a period of three months. I definitely know where you’re coming from. Add me as a friend if you need someone to talk to about things.
