And can I also say holly shit!

I'm in my late thirties and I'm just now finding out that I'm not actually lazy or a freak, I just have a condition.

Believe it or not, that is reassuring. I have made an appointment with a psychiatrist at my boyfriend's request....not about this, but I'll be sure to bring it up!

Seriously, since I was a little kid! My poor parents, they tried to understand, but none of us could figure it out. School sucked(I did well) jobs have sucked (also did "well&quot but my whole life I've felt like I was in a dream......

Until last November, now it's more like a nightmare......

But that actually helps a lot.......accept the part about no known cure.....

But at least knowing what the score is, well, that does make me feel better

Thank you, and solidarity Jackson
