What a very interesting discussion. Sometimes I think I am more creative because of it. Stronger. More resilient.
But maybe I would have been even stronger and creative and resilient without it.
It certainly has made my life very difficult and painful and dark. If I had my life again, I might choose not to go through all these things again, especially the ect and hospitalisations. They were particularly hurtful.
But then I don't know. I am what I have been. Memory is identity. I can't really imagine it any other way.
