Partly,
:( Things are so hard, and seem SO unfair, but I think there's a lot of wisdom in what your neurologist told you. You make a deep impact on others, and I think there are so many people who truly care deeply about you.Sometimes I think that "processing trauma" is akin to vomiting up some bad sushi. It churns around in there for a while, and worshiping at the porcelain altar is most unpleasant. Yet, when it's all done, you've learned an important lesson about yourself-- you CAN survive this.
I'm so proud of you that you have been getting pharmacological support for your symptoms. Therapy will be so important for you. I wonder if you are "ready" for this because you've been in a really solid therapeutic relationship. (although... WHO is ever READY for this..??). There is no shame in asking for help, in telling your story, or having symptoms in the first place. This stuff is a communication, and I don't want you to "shoot the messenger" just because the body is delivering an intolerable message.

hugs, and don't forget--- free coffee on election day at starbucks
