Lonely
Hello! I am learning to manage my Schizoaffective Bipolar 1 but it still feels very lonely sometimes. I don’t feel like I can tell anyone but my family what is really going on. I feel like I’m constantly wearing a mask with everyone in my life pretty much. Anyone else feel the same way?
Can't relate personally but I have friends who say the same
100%. My husband thinks it’s an excuse, my kids don’t understand, my mom (the psych nurse) doesn’t care about how hard I’m trying and how much I’m struggling. People either don’t get it or they don’t want to hear about it.
Hi.
I have felt this. The only way to get out of this is to accept that they won't understand as they can't empathize.
We can get lonely trying to manage our state. But we must always remember that we are not alone.
