LondonsBurning, I can definitely sympathize. While I've pretty much given up on the medication, except for anti-psychotics when I need them; though I've heard that they do work for people. While usually I can get along with people and appear normal, it's rare that I feel completely comfortable in social situations. I try to make myself get out and talk to people because it seems like the more I interact the less isolated and different I feel.
I can say though, most the times I've worried about feeling "normal" is when I'm getting or recovering from a manic episode. Normal is a difficult thing to gauge, because everybody's different in their mental state. I think it's more important just to feel like you're in your own right state of mind.
