Is it normal to feel mentally isolated (then cry) ?

Before I start no Im not an attention wanting emo fag . Okay I turned 18 two months ago and my whole life I felt happy being left alone to my studying and reading(introversion ftw) and every one referred to me as smart. I have been researching a cure for schizophrenia.( no I am not suffering) when it occured to me. I have not college degree in the medical feild who would take this into concideration? Then I thought about it to much and I realized that when ever I would present my findings I would get the same responses every time, either hu? Or just a nod and a smile. So then I began to cry because my whole life nobody has ever been able to understand me. So now I feel a bit alone but this time I feel lost. Will this pass with time or should I seek professional help?

Is It Normal?

  • In terms of experience I feel it's normal. In 11th grade (I'm in 12th now) I took 4 AP classes because I knew I had the ability to and I did fine on the tests...however I isolated myself from my friends more and more...it started in middleschool. In 6thgrade i used to have a study group at the library and we were all friends I loved it...then everybody got involved with...guys and parties and I still went to the library in the morning...it was sort of a haven for bookworms like me :) so...now I moved away from that school and I changed. I chatted online with strangers...and I began to want to meet someone online. Usually shizos or bipolar people want to experience danger or put themselves in situations like sex with no condom or...drugs? Anyways if you feel lonely mentally isolated I think you should somehow find a way to socialize with people YOU like. I'm still trying to do that. I understand how you feel...based on my experience don't push yourself to do anything that makes you uncomfortable or gives you bad anxiety (what's good anxiety :D ?)
    P.S. My aunts a doctor and she told me bipolar ppl like having sex with no condoms...I have no idea how she came to that conclusion

    • Thanks I have tried looking for people like myself and I hadnt been finding any. College is one year away so maybe, oh and also, thank you for the extra information on schitzophrenia/bipolar sufferers!

      • no problemo yeah I'm still isolated myself but get this. I'm not as stressed or depressed ever since something was lifted off of my shoulder...maybe there's something going on in your life or something from the past is keeping you from feeling truly happy? Even when you're by yourself? I found this out because...I don't have to go to a court case...which is in another state...yeah haha too complex to get into details.
