I was asked a question today, by a friend..and it sort of shocked me because no one has ever asked me this before.
We were walking and she suddenly turned to me and asks "If you could, would you change it? Would you wish that you never had Manic Depression?"
And I stopped and thought about what it would be like, what I would be like if I didn't have it, and I couldn't.
I couldn't imagine myself without Manic Depression, and I wasn't sure if I would want to, because it is such a huge, consuming part of me, and my life. So I told her no, I wouldn't change a thing.

Does anyone else feel this way? If you could, would you change it so that you never had the illness in the first place? Can you imagine who you would be without it?

I would love to hear your thoughts on the question, and my answer, thanks
