What a wonderful post, Flawed. Thank you so much for sharing the positivity & hopes for the future.
A similar thing happened to me at work. I didn't get fired, but people were constantly asking what was wrong - saying I wasn't 'myself' anymore. (No longer an easily manipulated pushover.) I also had friends insist it was ridiculous that I couldn't have 'just one' with them. I've found it impossible to explain that there can never be 'one'.
Day 197 - congrats!
