Hi everybody,
I was raised in the 'Work' and it has resulted in anxiety attacks and a bad case of Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder that I'm still recovering from. I find it very difficult to deal with everyday life and I can feel the years slipping away while I watch them unable to really step up and be a part of life. Has anyone else experienced this??? Has anyone got past this??? I need to know. I feel like an awkward shell of a man. The worst part is I can't even explain my problem to people it's so outside their ability to understand. What do I do????

Hi,
While I can't directly relate to this, I did suffer an anxiety attack and was later traumatized by my experience. What helped in so many ways was therapy with a psychologist who specializes in cults and high-demand groups.

What makes you think you can't explain it to people?
What expectations do you have regarding their reactions? People don't always know how to respond instantly. Sometimes it takes a while for it to sink in. All of us knows how it feels to be stumped and then, three days later think, I wish I had said...
Understanding and knowing what to say don't go hand in hand.
