So similar . . . except I don’t do the “what if I’m nothing without it”. My mind goes toward “what could I have been/done without it . . . I must be such a failure” and I have to yank myself out of that. We don’t get to pick.
I admit I often think that way too. I really have come far and shown such strength and perseverance, it’s hard not to wonder what I could have been if not always just trying to survive instead of actually living. It seems such a potential untapped.

I’m bipolar and wonder this, too. But I don’t think I’d even be ME any more, I’d be a completely different person.
