This could be long so grab a cuppa. I just joined today and I have a question. Does anyone else really miss the them that could have been? For context, I was the 'gifted kid', tipped for doing maths at uni, did the tournament chess circuit, won library prizes etc... and for all that, I have spent nearly half my life on disability, in the last few years my medication combo has started working well enough that I can work but grateful as I am for that, for all that promise I had, I'm a part timer at an unskilled min wage job. Part of me wishes I could see the way my life could have gone, part of me doesn't want to know because it would be too depressing, but sometimes I wish I could have gone the productive route with my life.

Im 33 have been on disability for about 5 years or so, and i feel this with my whole heart. But for me, things really fell apart around age 14. I hated my schoolmates. They all picked on my weight. Before that, I was at the top of class. I sometimes wish i would have gone to high school and college and majored in a form of art. Oh, for what could have been.
