I think I'm going to answer this one and the one about if I've survived a difficult time and if I would erase it if I could, because they're both basically the same answer. Yes I have, and yes I would.
In the parallel universe, my double would be different in very subtle ways that would act sort of like a butterfly effect. She would have a different brain chemistry - everything else could stay. I would like to be taller, I would like a different family, I would like different skills, I would like a lot of things, but the only thing I would change is depression. I fully understand that it would change the very core of who I am, my personality would change, my likes and dislikes would change, and my entire life would be something completely different from what it is now. The intellectual part of me would find it very interesting just to observe what a difference changing that one little thing would make - I think it would be sort of like seeing what things about me are "really" me and what are just results of various circumstances.
The emotional part of me probably couldn't take it.

If I were to MEET a parallel-me, I'd want them to have a goatee. So that I would know which one was me. I want everyone else to have goatees as well, so I don't get confused and stuck in the other universe.
