Who Would I Be?

I stated the question poorly-i apologize. Yes we would be the same person but I was curious in what w...

The question was fine :) I think a lot of people actually want to fundamentally change who they are, in addition to dealing with symptoms. That's just not me, is all. I like who I am. When I don't hate myself.

I'd be me, with more me and less symptoms.

What would I like to be? That's a really good question.

I would like to be the positive person I was. Seeing the best in people. The good that can be done instead being suspicious of the motives of so many around me. Happy, not depressed. In love and be loved. Have the wisdom and discernment to accurately see something in present tense and actually believe that what I'm discerning is the truth and trustworthy.

I want to be a better me. I want to walk along side others who are struggling. Offer the type of support I know from the woman walking with me. I don't know. Maybe someday I'll know.

Let's see, I know I am a giving, caring person so I know I would not change that. Without my mental health issues, I would be better equipped to have a social life. I could have picked my spouse better, so I would love to think I could have just married once and had some munchkins and stayed with her the rest of my life. I had some testing done in my mid twenties and the test taker said I should have taken up some form of communication......lawyer, diplomat....anything in the communication field. A dumb truck driver will have to do. It is what it is. ......What an excellent, thought-provoking question Snowflake.

I wonder this a lot. It makes me sad, so I try to remember that "What doesn't kill you..." quote and then fill up with resentment.
