Re: Who would you be without your psychopathology?

I'm not sure that I do consider it integral to my identity. Maybe it's because it's because what's wrong is hard to pin down. I change so much from day to day that I scarcely recognize myself from day to day. So maybe I have no real sense of identity. :)

So if one day I woke up and I wasn't neurotic? I think I could live with that, because sometimes it's true and I'm happy enough then. I've even spent two years as a euthymic people person and I've never had a better time in my life.

I could even live with being the same person every day.

I think my only enduring sense of identity is that I like dogs, I like dolls, and integrity is important to me. Other than that, who knows.

No wait. I always like dogs, but I don't always like dolls. I always like stuff, but the stuff differs (but cycles). And integrity is always important to me. Yeah. Ok. I'll stick with that. I'm a person who likes dogs, likes stuff, and to whom integrity is important. All else is ephemeral.
