Feeling angry, frustrated, and alone....

[MakersDozn]

DC folks....thanks. It means a lot to us knowing that we have friends who understand.

We see your point about the situation being harder in some ways because we're working. Because we've always been so high-functioning (even in a purely singleton context--doing well in school, etc), outside people have always had very high expectations of us. Or at the very least, they've *ss U ME d certain things about us because of our high performance. We do well at xyz, so we must have the ability to do well at everything. That's a lot to live up to, and a lot to internalize. It's no wonder we've always felt that we've had to be perfect.

Anyway, thanks for responding. We appreciate it.
