I know this is futile, because there's no way to know and it doesn't matter anyway, but I've often wondered about it.

I think I might be in law school now. Probably married with kids. I would have gone to a mainstream high school and had friends. Gone to events like homecoming and prom instead of being locked away in a psych ward. I just feel like there's another person underneath the MI but it's taken over that person and robbed me from having a better life.

I know you can still achieve things with MI but at least in my case it definitely makes it harder or slows things down.
