The Ghost of RubangB on 04 May 2008
Sounds like you went through "the shit" really young and you might not ever fully "recover." I put the word recover in quotes because it's bullshit. Much of the discussion on these issues ends up being too demeaning to be helpful. It doesn't mean you're worse now. It just means you're different. It might even have made you a better person in ways you don't realize or understand yet. Seeing as how I'm a stranger on the internet, all I can really say is I hope you don't worry too hard and get into the downward spiral of anxiety/stress/depression that can last forever.
Also, fuck success. Successful people aren't happier than you are. You can make yourself happier than any of those nutjobs. Best of luck to you.
