It is really positive to hear that you have progressed from your worst state, to a more livable condition... the more you tackle the traumas head on, the better you will get at the end of the day. Your life in 40 years time should be quite well compared to if you try and dismiss the problems, as they will still be haunting you in 40 years time otherwise. You are really in an optimal time within your life to take these things head on, as your young and strong. Saying that, yes, their are other pressures upon you at that age, though if you keep focused, you will have a better life in the years to come, with very little relapse into past trauma.

It sounds as though you are doing really well now, and hitting the worst with all you got through your counselling... which is the positive method to achieve a better life outcome. Well done... keep up the good work.
