I keep reading in the supporter section about people trying to figure out how to deal with their sufferer's isolation. People asking to be left alone for weeks or months at a time. I don't understand it. I thought I "isolated," because I get to a point every single day that I feel like if I am not alone for 2-3 hours I might explode into a million pieces. But I would never disappear from my family or kids for a huge amount of time. I avoid them and feel guilty about it, but will make an appearance, talk to people and fake happiness. I thought my three hour sabatical was isolation, maybe not? What is it? What do people do when they disappear? Can you have ptsd and not isolate? Do people still go to therapy when isolating? I was diagnosed with ptsd, but always searching for reasons to convince myself that maybe I don't really have it.
