It's a very double-edged 'gift' with many trade-offs. When things are going well, naturally I love my AS. When things go wrong - specifically things that I know are directly because of AS, I do dislike it. But you can't hate it, because hating it would be to hate yourself and who you are, which is really unhealthy. Forget cures, forget self-pity and self-hate, just live and make the best of things.
