Something some one said about recovery is it worth it?

Do you know who you are with out this illness cos I sure as hell don't.

I don't want this... I hate it. But who am I with out it?

I don't know who I am?
I don't know if I would make my friends laugh any more if I was "normal" as such.
Would they still need me, or want to help me?
Would I still need them?

Who in here has changed to the "normal" side.
Are you still you but with out the hurt?

How do you know?
