It definitely robbed my teen years. And my "college years" I didn't get to have. Now that I know what is wrong with me, I try not to let myself feel like it's robbing me of my life now. Now I always blame myself because there has to be something I can do to make it better that I'm not doing. And there is stuff I could be doing better. I only follow about 60-70% of my pdoc's advice, so I can't complain.
