While it's no doubt different given how differently we think about things after I got sick and couldn't function at the same level I told my mom I must know how it would feel to have acid thrown on a beauty queen like its the worst thing that could happen to someone who prized that attribute. To have my brain not function when all my life I was praised for that one thing....well it's terrible. Thing is after enough time/brain training and med reductions I'm back to where I was....that's the key thing...there is recovery...the mind is resilient...hold on to that.
