Probably not I guess. Does this mean we’ve got the king of all soul destroying diseases?

Some of the heroin addicts I knew from school are dead/in jail/rehab/getting arrested every year. That’s the worst disease IMO.

I think I’m probably more grateful than any one in my grade. Maybe I’m not the very most happiest, but I’m middle of the line. Success??? Yeah I’m probably in the lower echelon. I went to a very competitive high school and a lot of the kids are successful but I don’t think they’re more happy than me. I’m probably wiser than anyone in my grade too. BTW I realized I could never have any malice towards you everhopeful. Maybe some of my posts you could take as having malice towards you??? But I could NEVER have any malice towards you. I think you have such a friendly soul… Peace 
I don’t know what made me type that out but yeah…

That’s what I was just thinking. I do feel I’m wiser, so maybe that’s the silver lining.

I just feel everyone can seem to have malice at times. No one gets along perfectly. So I figure I’d upset you on at least 1 occasion. But you’ve never upset me at all. I don’t think there’s anyway you could upset me at this point even if you were having your worst day I would understand 
Is what i’m trying to say. And thank you!!!

Actually substance abuse is probably worse. So no king’s crown for schizophrenia.
I don’t think i’m doing better than any of my class mates.

I was just on a downer today because I had a dream about my school friends last night. I should be happy for them, but instead I feel like I lost a competition or something.

There are probably some bugs eating the corpses that have done better than me.
I think I must rate as my school’s greatest failure.

I was really into history, english, and music classes. I played drums in concert band and jazz band and really loved to play music and it made me popular because I was kind of good at drumming. I dunno if I’m more successful than other people in my high school class, but I know that if I didn’t ask for help in the first place it would have been a much worse future.

I’ve only kept in contact with two of my classmates. One has went through a divorce financial problems and just has a bad attitude. The other has a good job great family lots more friends than I have and some passions for a good hobby. I don’t like to compare how successful people are so I’m a little uncomfortable thinking about it, we all travel such different roads. At first glance people would say my one friend is more successful than me. I don’t feel that way at all, I have experienced a humility that few people have. Walked in a world that only another sz would know about. I found my Lord and Savior because I was humbled to my core by my sz. My friends life seems better but I wouldn’t trade where I’m at with anyone. I have a few days were I feel about 90 because of my meds. But it’s a small price to pay for what I’ve gained because of my sz. I can imagine the poor moral decisions I would have made if I stayed on the path I was on prior to sz. In the end all we have is the quality of person God has allowed us to become and the relationship with our Creator. Can’t take anything else with us.

I am about average amongst my fellow classmates. But I’ve definitely had the most exciting life out of all of them, and I think that is the real contest!

I agree with you, I’ve done alot more adventurous things than any of the other classmates.

Umm depends. I went to a middle school with many kids from hard backgrounds. Most of them did not go to college and are working minimum wage jobs/some even have kids now. So I am better off than them in a way (not that I want to diss their life paths) But I went to a very competitive high school with all overachievers, and a lot of them are already being accepted in grad schools or getting jobs with their bachelors. I have fallen behind them because I failed enough classes to screw up my four year graduation plan, but also because I changed my career path.
Anyways I don’t much like comparing myself to others. I’ll make my way at my own pace.

It’s a mixed bag. Several of my classmates have died of overdoses, suicides, or in mysterious circumstances. Some are in jail. When I was buying my house, I found a few on the sex offender registry. One of the sweetest, smartest, most “successful” boys I knew - he was a doctor - killed himself a few years ago.
Last year at this time, I had a pretty lucrative job at a big corporation. Financially, I was doing better than many of them. I was also miserable, borderline suicidal and experiencing psychosis. This year, I’m a broke college student again, stressed out over exams, but much much happier.
I just mean to say that I bet most everyone here is doing better than many of their classmates in a lot of respects. We just tend to compare ourselves to the ones who seem to be doing better than us.

I’m not in any financial debt. I bet a lot of people from school are in some debt from credit cards or from school loans.
I would feel horrible if I was in debt. I wouldn’t be able to sleep.
