A diagnosis later in life,
Meant I had it all,
And then lost it all,
Except for bitter sweet memories.

I was in college when I had the illness develop acutely but I had struggled greatly in my chosen field of study which I should have known was poorly chosen because I had long struggled with higher math. So although it was devastating at the time I don’t feel as badly about it now. Obviously if I had a wife and kids and ended up divorced with no custody of the kid or kids which can happen to a lot of fathers who develop mental illness later in life it would have been much worse.

yeah…
I never had it all - to lose it all - I just never had it.
When were you diagnosed?
Sometimes I think - in 20 years when I look back on these days - what would I think?
‘I was so freakin stupid - my life was great, I was so hot’ lol
