Oh, boy, I really can relate to a lot of what you said. I too graduated with honors in the medical field and my mind seemed to fall apart. That wasn't in my plans. I too raised myself and now it's like a Ripvanwinkle story. I am an adult and I am suppose to know what every one else was taught as a kid. Isolation - is a comfortor and an abuser at the same time with me. I am alone and I feel the a stamp is on my life "She has PTSD." It's affected everything down to my belief in God. I feel like would someone give me the book on how to get my mind to function right, so I can live my dreams now.

Oh, I feel that mental illness isolates, because no one can see the mental pain that one is in. I look normal, but I am in mental anguish. No one can see it, so I am expected to live like others - have a home of my own, a job, kids, etc. It isn't happening, because my mind is affected.
