Well, I see your point. But you know I bet people who wanted to be something real bad and didn't make it feel bad when they read in the paper or whatever about those people who did make it (like actors). Me, I've been so busy struggling to survive I haven't paid much attention. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 39. Then put on the wrong med for 16 years. I was lucky I didn't have more trouble than I've had.
Experience has shown me you do what you can and go on. Don't worry about "what if". Deal with the reality you have. You'll be a lot happier if you do.
