Wondering what "core" thing is missing or better yet, what do these people have that other's seem to be lacking?

You know, I don't really know what to say. I'm a masters prepared clinician, worked for 30 years in a clinical setting. You would think if any one was of strong fiber it might be me. But guess what? It hit me like a ton of bricks; I am devastated by my illness. It is worse than I could have ever imagined. There is no way to explain to some one who's not inflicted with it (mental illness)what it's like. One would think I know all the tricks and should be able to heal myself, but it doesn't work that way.

PTSD, Depression and Anxiety: I have them all.

Mental Illness is a very real and devastating thing.
