Hi,
Well, I wish I had the right answers for you. I know how you feel though. mental illness in my family isn't well accepted. I have depression. I have been diagnoses with PTSD and Dissociative Identity disorder due to long lasting abuse. Feeling a lone for me has been worse and worse considering no one in my family understands. I am afraid to tell them.
I thought the note for the fax machine was a great idea. I run sound systems and play the guitar. I can, like you, run thousands of dollars worth of equipment but can't figure out how to get the VCR to record. I can't figure which way to run the wires. It is aggrivating.
With DID I am constantly putting things in different places. I came to get on the computer the other day and it was already on... I didn't do it. It is very difficult.
The frustration/anger part comes with the lack of hope that it can be fixed.
I think the most beneficial thing has been therapy for me. The best thing is they hear stuff like what we don't understand all the time (we are truely not alone) and a lot of people in that field aren't perfect just like us. I mean, my therapist was abused and she went to therapy at one time. She truely understands me. And she can help.
I wish I had a magical potion that makes us all understand our problems, accept them, and bulldoze through them. I still e-mail my T and ask her if she is still sure that I have the same things she thought I had.
Keep posting...
