It's too early to tell. My life is not "ruined" at current but it sure was in a downward tailspin for a while. Sometimes this illness tries to kill me. If it ever succeeds, I'd say it ruined my life. Sometimes I see and feel things others can't and it can be very beautiful. I guess I will have to wait and see if it ruins my life. It could, but there are a lot of things in the world which could potentially ruin my life.
