did you guys also get "worse" with time?

(apology for the way I phrased it, I suck at titling) I don't mean it necessarily in a more "clinical" thing, but more like... as a matter of fact, losing contact with the person you were before you started developing symptoms and the most inhibiting sides of the disorder. Where do you see the signs of your drastic changes? Can you actively remember how different you are now from the person you were before or is it just a smidge in your memory? Did you change at all?

Maybe this is going to sound kind of stupid or maybe I've read a little too much into my personal situation.

For reference: I was going through some stuff on my computer and I found something dating back to when I was in highschool (so age 15/16). I came up with a draft law to safeguard drivers (like glovo/justeat workers???) rights, I was coordinating a group of eco-activists in my area and a bunch of other stuff that kind of surprised me. Honestly I never thought I had that dog in me, but however.

Apparently I used to be an active and passionate person and I have basically no memory of it, since I found out through my own computer. It's not that I miss it or feel anything about it, but it is indeed surprising.
