I've always been myself ... Only now I seem myself

Stuart333

Certain lines, phrases or words, if they strike me, stay with me even if I hear or see them only once.

The quote "I've always been myself, even when I was ill. Only now I seem myself" as spoken by King George III in the play and film The Madness of King George, has come to mind.

I think it covers my current position, post diagnosis.

I'm not saying autism is an illness, just to avoid confusion, although something happened to me in Jan-June, but just that I have always been me, but now I seem to be me.

    According to Copilot it highlights a crucial turning point. It indicates that the King has gained a level of self-awareness and control over his actions, allowing him to appear composed and functional despite his illness. 

    This line also suggests that the King recognizes the difference between being himself and appearing himself. He acknowledges that his illness has impacted his mental state, but he has learned how to present himself in a way that is acceptable to others.
