Hi gemini

No you're not selfish for thinking this.

You're just exploring all options.

I do this when I am making important life questions.

I always answer my "What If" questions when making these important decisions.

What if gemini has children?

Then there is a chance that gemini can have perfectly healthy chidren with no mental illness what so ever. And gemini will learn strategies to minimise the potential impact gemini's episode will have when he goes through these when he has kids. Gemini will know that his burden is his to carry and not one that he will place on his kids.

Gemini is also aware that maybe his kids might be born with a mental illness. Some do, after all, have a genetic component to them. But Gemini knows that he has personal experience with episodes and will understand exactly what his children will be going through if and when they do really ever experience a severe episode. Even just being bipolar doesn't necessarily mean a severe episode. Some people with bipolar merely experience slight mood elevation that optimises their mood and makes them a little bit more productive than at other times.


Or Gemini could simply not have kids.

In which case, he will never know.
