Epilepsy? Is that a new thing? (I’ve been out of touch for a while now.) I have no advice for you, only genuine concern.
You are talented!
Hormones can be the worst.
What’s going on with your cat?
Don’t worry. That’s only with my finch. I do not have any rooms that look like that in real life. 😂
I think so too. Although I suppose that’s obvious. 😂

There's nothing wrong w/ the person you are. You don't "need" to ditch your personality to recover from trauma. And also, you GET to change, to retool yourself .01% at a time from the ground up if you choose, if it's more consistent w/ the life you want. Point is: it's YOUR call.

To impregnate people with good requires a long time. But evil has wings. To build a house takes time. Its destruction takes none.”

Feel what you feel. Validate it, explore it, express it (in safe contexts), understand it. Honor it.
Then: breathe; blink; focus; & remind yourself you're not under any obligation to let the intensity of a feeling "make" you do things that'll short circuit your recovery arc.

The fact that the people who share your name & DNA or who happened to attend the same church you did growing up don't understand who you are, what's important to you, or what you need, can be painful.
And, it has exactly zero to do w/ your worth, value-- or future.
