Two years ago, I started this blog to share about my life as a person who lives with unseen illnesses. I am locked in a world that many can only imagine. It is difficult to comprehend unless you’ve lived with an unseen illness.
I was in my early thirties before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, major depression, along with general and social anxiety. It was difficult to deal with at first, but it filled in several blanks regarding my history.
Anyway, I’m a photographer and like working with computers, I hide behind both. You know, it’s like when a small child puts his hands over his eyes and thinks you can’t see him. That’s me. I live with my hands over my eyes.
Warning: My brain moves way faster than my typing skills allow. I misspell words and sometimes leave them out completely. I am subject to change thoughts midstream, without notice.
Same here. Diagnosed/hospitalized in my 30s. Struggled all along just thinking I was nuts and that was that, I guess. I was called crazy most of my life, so I guess I just accepted that. I hide too – work from home on a computer haha

Most people are too caught up in their own dramas to care much I think.

If the illness is seen by you then its not completely unseen. “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” Buddha

I hear you. I think it is the masses I’m referring to. The average person is clueless.
