Maybe we (the "psychologically challenged") are in fact blessed as we learn to navigate a different path in life, one which has made us more aware than the average folks. Just musing aloud...

Although it's very hard to think of this disease as a blessing, I do understand what you're saying. This illness has definitely made me more compassionate toward others. Before I became ill, I wasn't too empathetic of other people's feelings. I just wanted to have a great life, career, friends etc. But boy, life has a way of smacking you upside the head.I believe the song title is "Anthem".
