I love your sad yet powerful memoir with valuable life lessons. Your awareness of your pain, its complications, and consequences is great to find the path towards recovery. I know traumas hard to heal as they create very strong neural pathways in the brain however our minds are also powerful to rewire the brain. Even if the traces remain in the neural network, it is possible to lower the intensity and live a fulfilling life. I witnessed many people who almost reversed their PTSDs. I like your new approach and the disability writer's response is exemplary. I also use such approach in my life. We don't have to justify our reasons unless we choose to do so for other reasons. Thank you for writing this insightful story. It touched my heart but also gave me joy seeing that you are moving towards healing. I wish you the best in your journey. You deserve to be healthy and happy.
