does the above sentence give you sense and meaning of the phrase “If I were any better i’d be twins”?
I was and still am clinically depressed. The psychiatrist put me on all sorts of antidepressants. I took my medication like a good boy.
So; when asked, “How are you doing today” my stock response was, “If I were any better I would have to be twins”. It meant that I was as good, as happy as one person could be. If I got any better or happier one person couldn’t hold it.
It was a lie. All the meds did was make; me a fantastic liar, my family feel better because they though I was better and me feel like a door mat. I stopped taking the meds. I don’t smile anymore but at least it is me. I don’t use that stupid expression anymore either.
