If I didn't have SA, BD, OCD, chronic insomnia... and my other problems, I'd be more successful and can stand on par with my friends. I'd also likely have little to no empathy because let's face it... we only REALLY understand the torment mostly because we've gone through it ourselves.
The lack of empathy together with my extremely ambitious nature... Well, I'd be terrified of this other "me". I'd probably not like him very much too. Then again, you know what they say... when you're high, the fall is great (something like that)...
