I stand in another's world. I see the joy, some of which I provide to those I care for, yet I don't feel the joy myself. I pretend to belong. I wear the mask and fool most that I'm like them. I used to feel special, in a good way. Now I feel "special" and wonder who I am to who I was. Walking amongst the rest I feel as though I'm a shadow in their world. I know there are others walking past that live in my world, but we pass unknowingly. Longing for some form of normalcy I'm growing tired. The concistancy in my life is inconsistence. I've been to group therapy and there's yet to be connection. I feel as though continued isolation is the only comfort I have to look forward to. Happiness will come im sure, but it feels a long ways away.

Being bipolar can certainly be lonely at times. I'm really glad that I have PC to fall back on. It's the one place that I don't have to pretend.

Being able to be who I am on PC has helped me greatly. I don't have to hid my paranoia or fears because when I voice them someone understands. I love the support we all get here. It's made a difference in my life.

You have a poetic mind. At least my assessment. I spend most of my time alone. I consider it healing from all the chaotic noise that can appear in life.

It can be a lonely life. I feel the same often. And I must say you write beautifully. In your one paragraph I felt like I was reading a free flowing poem. Your grasp for putting feelings into words is remarkable.

That was very well put, and I agree completely my life is way different then it used to be. Every year that passes the more I seem to isolate myself. I don't even wanna be around ppl. My job is starting to suffer and I'm worried I'm gonna lose it at work and lose my job. Everything is getting the best of me and I'm losing the battle
