No. Not in real life. I talk to very few people and i talk to no one about the things that bother me.

I think there is someone who understands me and knows me thankfully.
Not in person perhaps.
Golly knows.
I just believe that someone understands me better than i understand myself even perhaps.

Yet to find one. Looking out to see if I can find my soul mate. Or bunch of friends who can relate to each other.
However, thankful for the few people who are always with me through tough times and backing me.
Though I have few people in my life they are not so close and I am not able to open up everything to them.

You know I mostly say everything here,
This is the only place where I have shared and feel safe and who understands.

I’m not looking for someone to understand me, I think my care team already does.
I’m looking to understand others but it feels impossible.

Yes its very difficult,
because for me I make up stories and people play smart which put my in a zone of misunderstanding also if there is an understanding there is no proof.

I’m lucky. In the past few years I have gained a stronger support network than beforw. Several close sz friends, 1 irl local"bestie" who is also my boss, an amazing husband, and supportive children.
Not all of them understand everything about me, but that’s ok. We’re there for each other. I have to put in work to be a good friend if I expect to get the same level of support. Can’t be one sided, I need to give understanding to get it back.

My son. He is just 12. But he is smart, sensitive and has strong empathy. And social insight (no idea how that could happen, with me and his dad as his parents). He has, from very young age, been as if he looked through me. I’m obviously treating him according to his (emotional) age. But he is very…he understands and senses things sometimes on a level that scares me.

My long time partner does. Sometimes I have no idea how we’re still together or that anyone exists who can work through my mental illnesses with me the way she does…she herself has experience with psychosis/other things which lends to understanding between us. I’m infinitely thankful because she really has listened and understood and stuck with me even when I’ve been driven to paranoia about her. She has stuck by me and recognized me as who I am even when I’ve totally lost sight of myself/have no longer acted like the person she knows. It’s helped me stay grounded over years. She must really love me, and I love her immensely.

Nobody understands me, but it’s because I’m not open about anything. I don’t give people the opportunity to understand me.

@hiero, that sounds so wonderful. And hopeful too. Sometimes I feel I’m too broken to find love in a partner. To know that people do find genuine love, even with mental illness, always really lifts me up. And I’m happy for you too.
