Hey Dave,
this is a question close to everyone's heart I bet. For me it is clear-cut as glass:0 -> 19yrs: very very happy, self-effacing, academically excellent, great set of mates, resilient, dependable
19yrs : get dumped by first love
20yrs -> 27yrs : deep depression, obsessive thinking, intense anxiety, vulnerable to any kind of adverse eventAll professionals I've seen agree that I'd set up belief systems very susceptible to rejection before I got dumped and I have agree, in view of the severe reaction I had to rejection. But for me, my life is in 2 perfectly distinct pieces.
Good question - nice to get it off my chest.
